Abstract: A mounting clip that attaches a circuit component to an electrical device attenuates vibration of the circuit component as the electrical device is operated. The mounting clip is designed for a thermo-protector of an electric motor and removably attaches the thermo-protector to a switch housing of the electric motor. The thermo-protector is connected in the circuit of the electric motor and wiring of the electric motor that communicates with the thermo-protector is attached to the mounting clip. The mounting clip is provided with a pair of resilient, J-shaped fingers and the component wiring is pressed between the fingers and the mounting clip to restrain movement of the wiring relative to the component.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition and method for forming an inexpensive, semi-permanent cured foamed cementitious cover layer over deicing salt which is stored outdoors in large bulk mounds or piles and a salt pile or mound covered with such a layer.

Abstract: A bearing assembly permits one bearing bushing to be employed in both applications that permit self-aligning pivoting movement of a rotating shaft and applications that rigidly support a rotating shaft, thereby eliminating the need to inventory two different types of bearings for these two different applications.

Abstract: A motor assembly includes a stator assembly and a rotor assembly having an associated rotor shaft. The rotor shaft is mounted between and supported by endshields both are mounted to the stator assembly. At least the mounting one of the endshields includes a plurality of truss members so configured as to permit the endshield to be made of different materials while retaining substantially the same configuration. The truss members include rails oriented generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft. A web extends between the rails. Knee beam truss members are braced in various configurations. In some embodiments, a venturi cowling is provided to cause air to flow over end turns of the motor.

Abstract: An improved mechanism for retaining a hub-containing element such as a pulley, fan, gear or the like, on a shaft wherein the shaft has a circumferential groove formed near its end and the element has a hub to engage the shaft with a plurality of flexible fingers formed around and extending onward from the hub. The fingers have a pawl disposed to drop into the circumferential groove on the shaft and thereby secure the element in place. The pawls can be of various configurations so as to both align properly with the groove and to accommodate tolerances in the shaft assembly. A protective collar surrounds the fingers and extends axially from the hub to protect the fingers from entanglement and breakage during manufacture, storage, or transportation. The shaft also has splines formed therein proximate the groove that matingly engage corresponding keyways formed inside the hub so that the shaft positively mates with the hub.

Abstract: An improved mechanism for retaining a pulley on a motor shaft is disclosed wherein the shaft has a circumferential groove formed near its end and the pulley has a hub to engage the shaft with a plurality of flexible fingers formed around and extending outward from the hub. The fingers have a pawl disposed to drop into the circumferential groove on the shaft and thereby secure the pulley in place. The pawls can be of various configurations so as to both align properly with the groove and to accommodate tolerance in the shaft assembly. The shaft also has splines formed thereon proximate to the groove that matingly engage corresponding keyways formed inside the pulley hub so that the shaft positively mates with the pulley.

Abstract: An aerosol antiperspirant composition comprising:(a) from about 2% to about 10% of a hydrophobic liquid;(b) from about 20% to about 95% of a propellant;(c) from about 2% to about 30% of an enhanced efficacy metallic antiperspirant material, containing at least about 30% of a high efficacy metallic species (by weight of all metallic species in said antiperspirant material);(d) from about 0.1% to about 3.0% of a hydrophobically-treated clay suspension agent; and(e) from about 0.01% to about 0.2% of an activator.
