  • Publication number: 20040185190
    Abstract: An artificial insect comprises a body having a head end and a tail end. The body has an upper body section and a lower body section. The lower body section has an upper surface defining a cavity with opposite upwardly angled sidewalls. The upper body section has a lower surface that defines a pair of opposite upwardly angled sidewalls that are received within the cavity and cooperate with the sidewalls of the cavity in the lower body section to define a wing receiving slot. A one-piece wing component is disposed in the wing receiving slot between the lower body section and the upper body section and extends outwardly from opposite sides of the body. The upper body section is coupled to the lower body section, via a press-fit arrangement thereby firmly sandwiching the wing component between the upper body section and the lower body section.

  • Patent number: 3952849
    Abstract: A sprag clutch utilising the principles of U.S. Pat. No. 3,651,908 has an improved energising spring arrangement in which the individual sprag energising springs are mounted on intermediate portions of bars forming part of the sprag retainer assemblage. The bars define with end ring parts of the retainer, separate compartments, one for the outer end of each sprag, end portions of the bars acting to position the sprags circumferentially, and the energising springs extend inwardly from the bars. The arrangement allows more sprags to be accommodated in a given diameter and, conveniently, the retainer is made in two identical annular parts which clip together.
