Abstract: A connector for a DC voltage connection to a platform can have i) a first over-mold section for a panel mount and ii) a sealing boot with a second over-mold section. The first over-mold section for the panel mount encases a portion of a first cable and a first section of a shear bolt connector to form a panel mount receptacle. The second over-mold section of the sealing boot encases a portion of a second cable and a second section of the shear bolt connector. The second over-mold section can have a shape and size to slidably fit over the first over-mold section to form a mechanically locked, watertight assembly that covers the shear bolt connector in its entirety and the portions of the first cable and the second cable that are electrically coupled inside the shear bolt connector.

Abstract: A portable hand carried lantern comprising components which may be quickly snapped together without the use of tools. A battery contact platform separates the battery chamber and bulb chamber and includes a plurality of contact strips by which the electrical circuit is automatically established without the use of wires upon assembly of the components. A safety disconnect system incorporated in the bulb chamber and battery contact platform that prevents explosion in a flammable atmosphere should the bulb break.

Abstract: A paper roll dispenser which permits easy roll replacement while presenting a decorative appearance is provided for dispensing a roll of paper such as toilet tissue, paper towels or the like. The roll dispenser comprises a bracket having two generally parallel elongated support arms extending therefrom in a direction generally perpendicular to a front face of the bracket such that each support arm is free to rotate about its arm axis. When the paper roll dispenser is in an operative position, a spindle having one end attached to one of the support arms rotatably supports the roll of paper between the support arms. The roll is replaced by rotating the one support arm about its arm axis and thereby moving the spindle into a position wherein it projects generally away from the other support arm whereupon a roll supported by the spindle can be replaced.
