Abstract: Coupling apparatus comprising two plates to be coupled together, with each plate carrying a locking mechanism for receiving a coupling member, the coupling member having two ends, each end being adapted to engage and couple to the locking mechanism on one of the plates whereby the two plates can be rigidly coupled together.

Abstract: An adjustable clamp includes two overlying, interfitting, L-shaped members together with an anchor screw. A panel is held in an adjustable space between the arms of one portion of each L. The arms in the other portion of each L interfit through a set of interdigital bands and apertures formed in the respective arms. The interfitting arms are slideably adjustable relative to each other. The anchor screw, which can attach the clamp and held panel to a support surface such as a printed circuit board, passes between the interfitting arms to secure them together while simultaneously causing their relative sliding movement to produce the adjustable clamping action.

Abstract: The disclosure is of a connector comprising an insulating body which carries a cable having exposed conductors to be pressed into contact with electrode contacts on a substrate. One end of the cable is secured to a printed circuit board or the like. The cable extends over an insert of a synthetic resinous material in the body, which serves to press its conductors into intimate engagement with the conductors on the substrate, and a spring-like clamp, which is coupled to the body, snaps into place and clamps the connector to the substrate, with the cable properly engaging the substrate.
