Abstract: A multiple telephone jack slide assembly includes a jack support member for supporting a multitude of telephone jacks upon an electronic wire connecting system. The jack support member is molded from resilient flame-retardant plastic and includes a channel formed by a rectangular-shaped, elongated slotted aperture. The telephone jacks include side walls which slidingly engage edge portions of the slotted aperture to support the jacks within the channel. The channel has closed ends, and the length of the channel is substantially an integral multiple N of the length of each jack whereby N jacks can be supported in abutting end-to-end relationship with each other and with the closed ends of the channel. The jack support member is sufficiently resilient to permit the channel to be temporarily pulled apart near its central portion for insertion of the jacks into the channel.

Abstract: A mounting plate for supporting one or more fuse blocks to a telephone equipment bay frame includes a channel-shaped, elongated support member having mounting arms extending from the opposing ends thereof and adapted to be secured to opposing vertically-oriented standards of the bay frame. The central portion of the elongated support member includes a substantially planar surface used to support one or more of various types of fuse blocks. Sixteen pairs of wiring terminal holes are formed within the elongated support member spaced at equal intervals commensurate with the spacing of wiring terminals provided in conventional fuse blocks. Screw mounting holes are also formed in the elongated support member at spaced intervals midway between adjacent pairs of wiring terminal holes and lying along the central axis of the elongated support member for receiving mounting screws used to secure the fuse blocks to the mounting plate.
