Abstract: Cable Label with a connector portion and a tag portion The tag portion is fixedly attached to the connector portion by a flexible tab. The connector portion can be of two types, one shaped to frictionally receive the end of a standard female phone jack and the second shaped to receive the end of a standard male jack. The tag portion is comprised of a flat elongate plate that includes a flat surface to receive writing or attachment of a paper label that can be written on. A preferred embodiment includes a plurality of non printed or pre-printed paper labels that can be attached to the flat surface of the tag portion. A preferred embodiment includes the paper labels having pre-printed numbers or letters or the like.

Abstract: An article of manufacture for causing a ball point pen cartridge and associated tip to automatically extend from its housing when an actuator switch located at the front end of the pen housing is pressed by the user's finger. The pen tip and associated cartridge automatically retract when the user releases the pen. A D.C. motor coupled to a gear reduction assembly inside the pen housing causes an attached threaded sleeve to rotate within a stationary nut within the housing thereby driving the pen assembly forward or backward depending on the polarity of the electrical supply to the motor. Limit switches within the housing cause the pen assembly to stop at the proper locations. An alternate embodiment of the design substitutes a non-moving, conductive switch that operates on skin contact instead of a moving, mechanical type actuation within a standard electrical switch.

Abstract: A combined toe and finger nail clipper having a common metal strip with a toe nail cutting edge at one end and a finger nail cutting edge at the opposite end. Mating nail cutting edges are at the ends of two additional metal strips which are each welded above and below at opposite ends of the common metal strip. A pair of vertical retaining posts located at each end of the nail clipping unit hold lever arms which can be stored in the flat position or rotated around and put into the use position as in conventional nail clippers. In this way a manufacturer can produce a combined toe and finger nail clipper more economically than two separate nail clippers and the user can store the combined nail clipper in a smaller space without worrying about locating two separate clippers. The clipper can be constructed so that while one of the clippers is in use the cutting edges of its other are closed or only slightly open so as to avoid the corners of the cutting edges catching or scratching a finger of the user.

Abstract: A multi-play compact disk player having a magazine holding a plurality of discrete programmed compact disks. The magazine remains stationary and a housing in the player is rotated with an arm movable to pick up a preselected one of the disks and move the same to a playing area for playing the same. The player can receive thereon a plurality of stacked magazines, each magazine holding a plurality of compact disks. A vacuum pad (99) picks up the disks to selectively transport them to and from the player which is located within a central housing (41).
