Abstract: A push-pull wire and pin connector arrangement is disclosed comprising a wire having a both partial loop adapted to extend in and along a groove in a pin and a deflectable full loop opposite the partial loop adapted to be arranged external of the pin so that a portion of the full loop is deflectable to enable engagement of the partial loop in the groove and thereafter remain deflected to a reduced degree by engaging the pin in the groove opposite the partial loop to thereby effect and maintain a spring-loaded tight connection between the wire and pin.

Abstract: A spring-biased lost-motion link assembly comprising a pair of identical interlocking link members with a compression-coil spring operatively arranged therebetween. Each link member has a pair of longitudinally extending grooves for receiving a terminal prong portion on the other link member in their normal undeflected state with the spring assembled thereon to thereby define a tongue and groove interlock between the link members.
