Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame having multiple openings for slidably receiving multiple airbag support assemblies. Each support assembly includes an airbag coupling member slidably disposed in a one of the openings in the frame for maintaining a spring member between the frame and the airbag device. The airbag coupling member has a coupling end protruding from a first side of the frame facing the airbag device for connecting to the airbag device. Pressing the airbag device towards the frame compresses the spring member therebetween. An electrical switch assembly is connected to the frame. The electrical switch assembly includes an electrical switch for a circuit. The electrical switch has a push button that continuously engages the airbag device when the frame is connected to the airbag device via an airbag coupling member, to maintain the electrical switch between the frame and the airbag device.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame configured for supporting a vehicle airbag device. Support assemblies are movably connected to the frame. Each support assembly includes an airbag connecting member engaging a spring member. Pressing the airbag connecting member towards the frame compresses the spring member. An electrical switch assembly is connected to the frame. The electrical switch assembly includes at least one push button electrical switch for connecting to an electrical circuit. Pressing at least one support assembly a predetermined distance lowers a portion of the at least one support assembly towards the frame for urging a vehicle airbag device capable of being connected to a connecting end of each airbag connecting member, against at least one switch in the electrical switch assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus for the drying of sludges and other fouling feed materials. A rotary screw type indirect heat exchanger is provided having at least one screw member. The screw member includes a helical-shaped flight having a helix angle of about 10 degrees or less and a surface roughness of about 63 micro-inches or less. Means are provided for rotating and heating the screw member and for spreading feed material onto the screw member. The apparatus operates at heat transfer rates and for a time period sufficient to reduce the moisture content of the feed material without requiring mechanical cleaning of feed material foulants from the screw member.

Abstract: An electrical switch assembly of the type including a movable contact and at least one additional contact having a free end portion lying generally across the line of travel of the movable contact and having a further portion secured against movement within the switch assembly. The switch assembly is provided with a stop member projecting into the line of travel of the free end portion for limiting following movement of the free end portion as the movable contact is retracted, ensuring a complete break in an electrical connection formed between the movable contact and the additional contact.
