  • Patent number: 4069514
    Abstract: A pair of beltless trousers or slacks with a novel means of support, which permit the trousers or slacks to present a distinct and attractive appearance. A pair of trousers in accordance with the present invention relies upon neither belts, elastic or foam elastomer bands nor suspenders for support. Instead, the inner flap of the fly of the trousers or slacks is formed into a large, wide inner tab, tapering from a longer vertical side to a shorter vertical side. The shorter vertical side is detachably connected to the stiffening elements and the curtain liner on the inner wall of the left pocket, that is, the side of the waistband corresponding to the outer flap of the fly. This construction permits utilization of pockets which are connected solely to the curtain liner and stiffening elements, and which open to the top.

  • Patent number: 4003107
    Abstract: A one-piece plastic pin fastener is utilized to secure the assembled position of a plate-like member, such as an electronic circuit board in an electrical receptacle equipped to provide ground fault protection. The headed pin fastener, having a T-shaped shank consisting of a flexible cross-beam and a transverse loading beam, is press-fitted in an undersized bore. The fastener securely holds the circuit board in place, and yet can be removed for servicing and replacement of the electronics.

  • Patent number: 3950677
    Abstract: An electronic module for use in ground fault circuit interrupting devices comprises an improved shell design structurally adapted for ease of assembly therein of the electronics and magnetics. The electronics, carried on a printed circuit board, is positionally mounted and retained in one shell compartment by integrally formed latching means. The magnetics are positionally mounted in other shell compartments and locked in place by the insertion therethrough of single-turn transformer winding elements. Potting of the electronics and magnetics thus becomes unnecessary.
