  • Publication number: 20030053768
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber optic transceiver assembly, a fiber optic connector assembly for receiving a fiber optic cable, and a method of dissipating heat in a fiber optic transceiver. The fiber optic transceiver assembly includes a connector housing and a heat sink operably attached to the connector housing. Heat generated within the connector housing is dissipated through both the connector housing and the heat sink. The fiber optic connector assembly includes a first housing member including a socket formed therein, a latch arm assembly positioned adjacent the socket, and a second housing member operably attached to the first housing member. The latch arm assembly is retained by the first and second housing members. The method of dissipating heat in the fiber optic transceiver includes attaching a heat sink to a connector housing and transferring heat generated by the fiber optic connector through both the connector housing and the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 4726491
    Abstract: A pour spout container with a pour spout which may be pulled out of the container is disclosed as including a container (10) and a pour spout (24, 48). The sealing cap (20, 50) is provided for sealing the container and the pour spout. Threads (16, 22) are formed between the cap and a container neck (12). Threads (30, 32) are formed between an inner cap (20a, 50a) and pour spout (24, 48). Turns of threads (30, 32) are greater than the turns of threads (16, 22) so that the sealing cap may be removed from the container while remaining attached to the pour spout. Grasping of the cap may be utilized to extend the pour spout fully from the container without contacting the pour spout which has been in contact with the fluid in the container. Thereafter the cap may be removed from the pour spout for dispensing fluid. For this purpose, the pour spout is prevented from turning relative to the container so that unthreading thereof can be accomplished without grasping the pour spout.
