  • Patent number: 4575174
    Abstract: A hood for an electrical connector employs a pair of identical body porti which are mated together to grasp the electrical connector and to provide strain relief to the exiting conductors. Strain relief is provided by a resilient or flexible strain relief tab extending angularly inward from an inner surface of each of the body portions. The strain relief tabs have sufficient resilience to permit outward deflection thereof as necessary to handle a substantial range of cable or wire bundle diameters. An optional bifurcated tip on the strain relief tab doubles the contact lines with a small cable and improves the ability of the tip to conform to the shape of a small cable or wire bundle. Ridges on the strain relief tab engage the surface of a large cable or wire bundle. The ridges may be sawteeth which are angled to resist outward forces on the cable or wire bundle. Exit channels are provided for cable exit either axially or in either of two transverse directions.

  • Patent number: 4562987
    Abstract: A computer terminal support includes two vertical posts about which respective pivoting collars are free to pivot. Each pivoting collar is affixed to a swivel arm. A terminal support tray is affixed to an outer end of the outer one of the two swivel arms to thereby provide a substantial coverage area over which the computer terminal may be disposed. A vertical adjustment of the position of the outer pivoting collar on the outer vertical post is provided in order to permit adjustment of the vertical position of the display screen of the display device of the computer terminal. A horizontal pivot and a vertical pivot are provided for rotation of the computer terminal and its associated display screen of the display device in order to permit angular adjustment of the display screen anywhere within the coverage area for avoiding interference from glare.
