Abstract: A garbage disposal assembly includes a garbage disposal and switch assembly. Each may be independent of the other in operation. The disposal assembly includes a housing with an opening for passage of particulates into an interior volume. A motor is located within the housing. A flywheel and impellers break up the particulates. An access door permits access into the interior volume separate from that of the opening at the sink. The switch assembly has a switch housing with a dial and a switch. Power to the switch is regulated by the dial which pulses a single amount of power through the switch when the switch is activated. The switch rests in a neutral position allowing a single contact by a user to activate and deactivate an electronic device coupled to the switch assembly.

Abstract: A cooler having a main body with opposing openings. Lids cover the openings. The cooler is configured to rest on a second lid while first lid is operable. The cooler is flipped over to reorient the contents and situate old ice on top of new items. The second lid is now accessible while the cooler rests on the first lid. One or more latches are included to selectively secure the lids in a closed position.

Abstract: A plug-like conductive shell 10 of an electrical connector includes a peripheral recess 20 therearound in which is disposed a metal strip 50 having a plurality of spring fingers 66,68 for EMI protection upon mating with a receptacle-like conductive shell of a mating connector. The EMI strip 50 is held in place by one or two elastomeric rings 52. A first system includes a ridge 24 in the shell recess bottom 32 and a corresponding formed ridge 60 in the metal strip 50 disposed thereover, with a pair of rings 52 one on each side of the formed ridge 60 securing the strip 50 against axial movement. A second system includes a groove 102 in the shell recess bottom 104 and a corresponding formed ridge 106 in the metal strip 108 disposed therein, defining a corresponding groove 114 within which is disposed a single ring 112, securing the strip 108 against axial movement.
