Abstract: An cable plug connector to connect one or more standard telephone or computer cable plugs into wall outlets of the same type at an angle, so that the devices' plugs and cables are protected from damage, including a housing, a cable plug adapter to be connected to a wall socket, attached to the housing at an angle, and a cable jack in said housing, the cable jack being electrically connected to the cable plug adapter. A method for protecting multiple cable plugs from damage, including steps for inserting a plurality of cable plugs into a housing containing multiple cable jacks arranged side-by-side, orienting said housing such that it is perpendicular to, and attached to, a single cable plug adapter, and electrically connecting said cable jacks to said cable plug adapter.

Abstract: A support for conventional roll of perforated paper toweling includes a base for mounting on a vertical or horizontal surface, a support rod perpendicular to said base for holding the towel roll, and a pressure member insertable into one of a plurality of insertion holes in said base for contacting a conventional roll of perforated paper to impede the unrolling of the towels when one is being torn off the roll.

Abstract: The roll holder with adjustable pressure member of the present invention provides an apparatus and method for preventing unraveling of the roll, in addition to providing all the typical functions of roll dispensers. The roll holder with adjustable pressure member includes a base, an upright member connectable to the base and orthogonal thereto, and a pressure member wherein the pressure member is bent in an L-shape to be parallel to the base in one portion, and be parallel to the upright member in the other portion. Optionally, a slide plate can be provided as well as a guide pin and nut.

Abstract: For a track laying vehicle, a convertible chassis comprising endless track driving sprocket wheels and track guide bogie wheel assemblies, both mountable upon the vehicle to accommodate wide or narrow endless tracks selectably, the sprocket wheels being reversibly mountable upon the sprocket drive shafts of the vehicle using flanges axially offset from the track engaging teeth of the sprocket wheel, and the bogie assemblies being mountable at selectable locations upon elongated cross-members secured to the frame of the vehicle.

Abstract: A skid-steered vehicle, especially an end loader, having a hydrostatic transmission. The transmission will have a series pump unit comprising two pump sections separated by a midplane porting block. Each pump section includes an axial piston group rotating on a common axis on opposite sides of the block. A pair of arcuate ports in each side of the block circumjacent the axis of rotation are in fluid communication with each piston group. Internal passages within the block include at least one passage communicating with one arcuate port of each pair which crosses from one side of the axis of rotation to the other before reaching an exposed surface of the block. In this manner, the external crossing of hydraulic hoses is eliminated facilitating shorter, more direct hydraulic coupling with associated hydraulic components.
