Abstract: A communications connector has a jack housing and a pair of plug interface contacts. The plug interface contacts each have an insulation displacement contact end and a plug interface end. The plug interface end and the insulation displacement contact end each have a broad face and, the broad face of the plug interface end and the insulation displacement contact of each plug interface end contact are parallel to each other. Additionally, the broad faces of each contact also being parallel to each other.

Abstract: A device for propagating beansprouts or other plants has a container for the beansprouts. One side of the container is substantially covered by a supporting plate which may be in the form of a disc perforated with many tiny holes. A shaft is carried by the supporting plate and extends within a center tube mounted within a water tank. The tube is preferably triangular and has three faces provided with a plurality of spaced-apart holes. The spacing between adjacent holes is greater towards the bottom of the tube. A plurality of small resilient stoppers are lodged within the respective holes in the tube. The growing strength of the beansprouts pushes the supporting plate (upwardly in a preferred embodiment). The shaft, which is carried by the plate, moves within the tube.
