  • Method of joining a soldered connector to a shielded coaxial cable
    Patent number: 5063659
    Abstract: A connector for electrical and mechanical connection to a coaxial cable wherein an inner lead of the cable is soldered to a ferrule which forms part of the connector. The ferrule is fabricated from a strip of material which includes a stripe of solder which will be adjacent an outer surface of such inner lead when the connector has been assembled so that the application of external heat will effect a solder joint between the ferrule and the inner lead.

  • Electrical connector
    Patent number: 4894016
    Abstract: A stepped electrical connector having a printed circuit board mounted in an electrically insulating housing. The board has a first collection of electrical contacts extending in a given direction and a second collection of contacts extending in the opposite direction. The number of contacts in the second collection is less than the first collection and the circuitry on the board accommodates the difference.

  • Folding trailer
    Patent number: 4362316
    Abstract: A folding trailer is provided having a chassis supported by at least one pair of road wheels and a load bearing platform supported by the chassis, the load bearing platform being formed in two sections which are foldable between a first position in which the sections lie in a common plane and a second position in which the sections lie juxtaposed in parallel planes. When in the second position the trailer can be moved into a substantially vertical plane for stowage.
