Abstract: A bracket supports the weight of stand-off standard-width rack-mount equipment and can collapse flat for storage or shipping. An embodiment comprises a back member along the bracket's mounting plane and two stand-off arms each having portions extending along the plane and extending normal to it. Each arm moveably attaches to permit positioning the arm when the bracket is not installed so as to decrease the arm's normal dimension, and each arm comprises at least one anchor permitting attachment to a supporting structure. Another embodiment concerns a method of installing a bracket with a back member and moveably connected stand-off arms, comprising moving each arm in a manner that increases the arm's extension in a direction normal to the mounting plane, and attaching to at least one supporting structure each stand-off arm at at least one anchor.

Abstract: Electrical connectors are generally discussed herein with particular discussions on spring clip connectors for connecting wires to electronically link a first audio component to a second audio component. The connectors provided herein incorporate at least one push button, at least one cam, at least one conductor, and at least one biasing member inside a housing. The at least one push button is configured to translate when depressed to then rotate the at least one cam to open a receptacle for receiving a wire. The wire is then placed in contact with the at least one conductor when the at least one push button is released.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spring clip connector assembly comprising a base product with an opening and a spring clip connector. The spring clip connector includes a housing having a front wall with an opening for receiving a wire therethrough, a movable tab located in the housing, and a conductor secured to the housing and having a contact positioned to engage a wire inserted through the opening in the front wall, and a spring between the housing and the tab. One of the base product and the housing includes a resilient member and the other of the base product and the housing includes a mounting surface, the resilient member movable between a first position that permits insertion of the housing through the opening of the faceplate and a second position that engages the at least one mounting surface and blocks removal of the housing from the opening of the faceplate.

Abstract: A rectangular metal slice is cut into antenna sheet material. The antenna sheet material is further folded up to form the antenna. The antenna sheet material includes a radiating plate, a feeding plate, and a ground plate. The length of the radiating plate is approximate quarter wavelength corresponding to the operating frequency. The main feature of the antenna, according to the invention, is that the feeding plate and the ground plate extend in the same direction, thereby reducing the scale of the antenna.

Abstract: A "baseball hitting exerciser" serving as both a hitting exerciser and a home base plate, including a flexible post, a connecting tube, a fixing tube, an anti-dust cover and a bottom cover. On the bottom end of the fixing tube is a neck connected to a push block; the push block serves to push the anti-dust plate that is compressed by the springs inside the fixing hole, so the push block may be turned and accommodated inside the wing plate troughs in the fixing hole; then, the fixing tube is fixed inside the fixing hole. If the connecting tube is turned again, the bias force of the springs pushing on the anti-dust cover will push the push block away from the fixing hole; so the base plate is restored to the shape of a normal base plate; so the base runner can safely use the base.

Abstract: A heat dissipating device for CPUs includes a dissipating device mounted on a CPU and having a transverse groove near either lateral positioning end, the transverse groove having a depth greater than a groove between every two adjacent dissipating plates of the dissipating device. A first positioning strip is bent to have a substantially vertical portion having a hook end for engaging a securing substrate of the CPU and a substantially horizontal portion having a slanting portion with a tongue for engaging one of the transverse grooves. A second positioning strip also has a slanting portion with a tongue for engaging the other of the transverse grooves. The second positioning strip further has a notch for engaging an indentation of a connecting element that comprises a substantially vertical portion with a hook hole for engaging the securing substrate of the CPU.

Abstract: A baseball holder including a home plate having a pivot bolt at the center and a plurality of locating holes around the pivot bolt, a swivel mount turned about the pivot bolt and then secured to one locating hole by a spring-supported locating bolt thereof, and an upright support moved in longitudinal slots on the swivel mount to adjust the distance from the pivot bolt and then fixed in position for holding a baseball for batting.

Abstract: A CPU heat dissipating device, which includes a radiating flange having a plurality of radiating fins spaced on a flat bottom plate thereof around a circle and defining a receiving chamber to hold a fan, and a flat cover plate covered on the radiating flange over the fan and having a ventilation port at the center vertically aligned with the fan and a plurality of radial ribs spaced around the ventilation port at the bottom and respectively fitting the radiating fins.

Abstract: A seat of a bicycle including a pair of rods disposed on the bottom, a plate disposed above the rods, a bracket disposed below the rods and fixed to the plate so as to fix the rods between the plate and the bracket, the bracket including two flanges formed on the bottom portion, a bag including a member disposed on the upper portion and having a pair of channels for engagement with the flanges of the bracket so that the member can be coupled to the bracket and so that the bag can be coupled to the seat.

Abstract: A holder for a bicycle including a frame for holding a bottle, a block formed on the frame and fixed to the bicycle, a cam portion formed on top of the block, a retainer having an opening formed in lower portion for engagement with the cam portion so as to limit rotation of the retainer relative to the block, a base which is provided for holding a lower portion of the bottle being coupled to the block, and a bag coupled to the lower portion of the block for carrying other objects.
