  • Patent number: 11390038
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing a butt-welded joint between two pipe segments (38, 39) of a pipe (27, 28) made of a weldable plastic material, each pipe segment being held by a gripping means (14, 15), pipe end cross-sections of the pipe segments (38, 39) being machined with the aid of a tool means (11) for forming welding contact surfaces (40, 41), said tool means (11) being disposed in a stationary manner in a separating plane (37) for machining the welding contact surfaces (40, 41) and a separating cut for forming the pipe segments (38, 39) being realised by the gripping means (14, 15) moving the pipe (27, 28) relative to the tool means (11) in the separating plane (37), said separating cut simultaneously serving to form the welding contact surfaces (40, 41).

  • Publication number: 20050136986
    Abstract: An alarm and safety system used for detecting if an intruder is trying to abduct or kidnap an occupant while the occupant is sleeping, or the like. The safety system upon detection of the situation automatically actuates the alarm but more importantly simultaneously notifies ONSTAR™”, “AMBER ALERT™”, and or dials 911, each of which in turn notify proper emergency personnel. Thereafter, emergency personnel immediately call the residence and if no reply they will physically investigate the situation and respond accordingly. For additional safety, the system includes optional features that may be incorporated. For example, temperature, breathing sensors, and/or detection and recording means are inherent.

  • Patent number: 4944698
    Abstract: A dual modular jack adapter for insertion directly on a telephone terminal block of the type having a plurality of connectors extending therefrom (i.e., type 66 terminals) is presented. The dual modular jack adapter is comprised of a compact insulative housing having a plurality of apertures therethrough, each aperture leading to a cavity having a plurality of connector clips therein. The connector clips accessible on the front surface are preferably quick connect type connector clips held in place by a snap on connector clip carrier. The connector clips are connected via wire conductors, which enter through slots in the base of the snap on connector clip carrier, to dual standard modular jacks for access of test phones or other auxilliary equipment. The present invention may be configured for any size modular jack including 2, 4, 6 or 8 wire jacks. The whole unit can be assembled by snapping the separate pieces together.

  • Patent number: 4834669
    Abstract: The patch connector comprises separable upper and lower housing portions and a double detent structure for joining the two oppositely disposed housing portions. The housing portions are snapped together to define a substantially rectangular housing having two, four, six or eight openings on a front face thereof for accessing terminals from a terminal block; and at least one other opening on the back face thereof for entry and exit of a cable or individual wires. The interior of the housing is provided with cavities for retaining isolated electrical connector clips, these connector clips communicating with the back face opening for electrical and mechanical connection with insulated wire and communicating with the front face opening for electrical and mechanical connection with terminals from a terminal block.
