  • Patent number: 5480204
    Abstract: A carrier for necked containers has a pair of split collars with conically tapered container neck-engaging fingers disposed at a 30-45 degree conical taper angle relative to planes transverse to the collar axes for engagement over the container necks to positions wherein the collar fingers are disposed below and in vertical supporting engagment with the container neck rings, and a bridge section joining the collars and forming a handgrip by which the carrier may be held in a normal position wherein the weight of supported containers bends the ends of the bridge section downwardly. The bridge section has upstanding ribs at its upper side which reinforce the bridge section against excessive bending and form upwardly opening cavities having drain holes for draining liquid from the cavities.

  • Patent number: 5447259
    Abstract: A carrier for a cluster of juxtaposed plastic jugs or other similar containers having handles by which the containers may be held. The carrier has a grip portion to be held in one hand and means on the grip portion engagable with the container handles for supporting the containers in suspended fashion from the carrier. A container package including a cluster of juxtaposed containers having handles and a carrier attached to the container handles including a grip to be held in one hand for carrying the container package.

  • Patent number: 5346271
    Abstract: A carrier for relatively heavy liquid containers, such as half-gallon bottles and gallon jugs, has container holders in the form of split collars that hold the containers by their necks and are pivotally attached to a bridge section by which the carrier is supported in normal carrying position to prevent accidental release of the containers from the carrier by twisting of the collars relative to the container necks in response to bending of the bridge section under the weight of the containers.

  • Patent number: 4775299
    Abstract: A clearance pocket having a housing attached to a cylinder of the compressor. In one embodiment, in which the housing has a sidewall and a distal wall and includes a clearance chamber with a passageway extending between the cylinder head and the clearance chamber, the pocket also has a piston movably located in the clearance chamber in slidably sealing engagement with the interior sidewall of the housing, and means for providing fluidic communication between the cylinder head and that portion of the clearance chamber between the piston and the distal wall of the housing.

  • Patent number: 4190749
    Abstract: A rotary thumbwheel switch assembly has a switch module including a translucent light ring for indicating positions of the rotary thumbwheel. The ring is illuminated from within by a light emitting diode which can be snap-mounted in place in the center of the translucent ring. The switch module comprises a thumbwheel to which contact brush sets can be easily secured by a spring biased tab. The switch module can be combined with a separable bezel. The switch module can be mounted from either side of a front panel, and can be connected to circuit assemblies housed by the panel prior to the insertion of the bezel. The bezel secures the switch modules to each other and to the panel. A kit comprising the separable elements of the illuminating diode, the bezel and the switch modules is described. A method for installing the separable elements includes the steps of inserting the modules from the front of the housing panel for testing each module's connection with circuit assemblies prior to installing the bezel.

  • Patent number: 4131771
    Abstract: In multiple position rotary switch a pair of printed circuit boards are arranged adjacent opposite sides of a single brush bearing rotatable element. Brush blocks have a plurality of contacting extensions which may be selectively deleted in accordance with circuit design. The rotatable element includes an integral wheel having peripheral means in association with a detent in the housing for particularly positioning the wheel relative to the circuit boards for selectively connecting circuits thereon to establish desired switch connections.
