Abstract: A relay rack enclosure includes a top cover and bottom cover each of which has end walls which are detachably locked together. The locking structure includes a resiliently mounted cantilevered pawl having a locking tooth which is provided on one of the end walls for detachable engagement in a slot on the abutting end wall of the other cover. A panel is mounted to the covers by tabs in the covers fitting into slots in perpendicular extensions of the panel.

Abstract: A locking plate comprises a thin generally resilient plate member capable of being bent out of its normal condition and tending to return to its normal condition upon release of the bending force. A securing leg is mounted at each of the end edges of the plate member extending outwardly away from the exposed surface of the plate member. Each of the securing legs terminates in an outwardly directed locking flange so that the plate may be mounted to a support member having holes in the support member by flexing the plate member out of its normal condition to permit one of the locking flanges to be inserted through the hole and then inserting the other locking flange through another hole in the support member whereupon the plate is permitted to return toward its original condition.

Abstract: A locking assembly used for securing an abutment member to a support member includes a locking stud having a post connected to and disposed outwardly from the abutment member. The post has a longitudinal locking blade connected to and disposed outwardly from the abutment member. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed inclined surface terminating in a crest edge which comprises a wedge lock for being disposed against an edge of the hole in the support member. An inwardly disposed surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed inclined surface so that the inwardly disposed inclined surface acts as a cam whereby insertion of the blade into the hole causes an edge of the hole to press against the cam and deflect the blade until the crest edge has passed beyond the hole with the wedge lock preventing removal of the stud from the hole. The post also includes a longitudinally outwardly extending base portion transversely opposite the locking blade.

Abstract: A locking assembly for securement through a hole in a support member comprises an abutment member having a locking stud in the form of a post with a locking blade. A plane perpendicular to the abutment member bisects the post. The locking blade is disposed on one side and spaced from the bisecting plane. The stud is completely open in the space opposite the locking blade to create an air space over the entire volume of the stud outwardly of the post and inwardly of the single locking blade. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed inclined surface which terminates in a crest edge. The outwardly disposed inclined surface functions as a wedge for being disposed against an edge of the hole in a support member. An inwardly disposed inclined surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed inclined surface so that the inwardly disposed inclined surface functions as a cam which guides the blade into the hole.

Abstract: A locking stud for securing a plate to a support member includes a single post connected to and disposed outwardly from the plate. A single locking blade is connected to and disposed outwardly from the post on one side of and spaced from the axial center line of the post. The stud is completely open in the space opposite the locking blade. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed arcuate surface which terminates in a crest edge and functions as a wedge lock when disposed against the edge of a hole in the support member. An inwardly disposed arcuate surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed arcuate surface so that the inwardly disposed arcuate surface functions as a cam during insertion of the blade into the support member hole. When fully inserted the outwardly disposed arcuate surface is wedged against the hole to effectively prevent removal of the stud from the hole.

Abstract: A mounting fastener includes a nut carrier having a pair of oppositely extending resilient wings which extend below the nut carrier and spread as the carrier is slid in a confined track to hold the carrier in position until a bolt or other fastener is threaded into the nut.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting an emblem to objects such as a vehicle, a wall or a fence includes an anchor member secured to the emblem. A threaded rod is detachably engaged with the anchor member. Additionally, a hold down bar is mounted over the rod, and a locking member is secured to the remote end of the rod.

Abstract: A handle for a stove damper or the like includes an elongated rod mounted in a boss secured to the handle member. The handle member is disposed at an angle to the rod. The rod is mounted in the boss in such a manner that axial, rotational and pivotal movement is prevented.
