  • Patent number: 4819897
    Abstract: Supporting of cables, hoses, or other tubular articles so as not to chafe against one another or against an external support. Such articles are supported spaced apart from one another so as to be free to swivel relative to one another in separate planes. A pair of saddle members are pivoted together and are provided with means to enable flexible tubular articles to be tied to the respective members in such swivelling relationship to each other.

  • Patent number: 4538443
    Abstract: Portable swaging tool for affixing a battery terminal onto an electrically conducting cable, such as for the starting motor of an internal combustion engine, especially with the cable already installed in the confined space of a vehicle engine compartment. Portions of a short handle member and a pivoted clamping member have cooperating jaws to receive a battery terminal between them. The handle member carries clamping means adapted to engage the clamping member to force the jaws together sufficiently to swage a terminal onto a cable end inserted into a bore in the terminal.

  • Patent number: 4445358
    Abstract: A portable swaging tool for affixing, onto the end of an electrical cable, a terminal of the type that fits on the terminal post of an electrical storage battery such as may be used to drive the starting motor of an internal combustion engine. A handle carrying one of a pair of cooperating jaws has pivoted to it a clamping member carrying the other cooperating jaw so as to be juxtaposed to the first jaw when the free end of the clamping member is swung to and against the handle. The handle also carries clamping screw means for forcing the clamping member against the handle to clamp a terminal pre-inserted between the jaws and to swage the terminal tightly onto the end of a battery cable pre-inserted into a bore in the terminal.
