  • Patent number: 5588869
    Abstract: A terminal block for interconnecting conductors in telecommunications circuits is disclosed. The terminal block allows a plurality of telecommunication wires to be progressively connected to a connector member. The terminal block includes a conductor transporting driver module having passageways that customer wires and service wires are inserted into and a connector chamber housing two insulation displacing connector members for the tip and ring lines. Wires are connected to the connector member progressively through a cyclical motion of the driver module relative to the connector members along a path of travel having an angle relative to a mounting surface which facilitates easy access to both wires and a threaded fastener actuating the driver module even in the most demanding telecommunications housing environments.

  • Patent number: 5480310
    Abstract: A telecommunications connector (10) includes a ground clip (15) which resiliently engages the rim (17a) of a grounding bus rail (12). Opposing fingers (25, 26) grip the rim (17a). A pivot finger (26) first grips the rim (17a), and then the connector (10) is rotated (28) onto the rim. Tangs (45) also engage the rim (17a), and the connector (10) and clip (15) are locked in position on the rail (12) by jaws (47). Entry wings (30, 41) assist in opening the fingers (25, 26) and a ground lead receiving pocket (35) on the dip (15).

  • Patent number: 5359654
    Abstract: Modules integral with the body of the assembly include one for drop wire connections, one for subscriber wire connections, one for an electronics interface, and one for a network interface device. Protective sealant material within the assembly protects contacts from corrosion and other deterioration, and from shorting. Sealant plungers and a chamber containing a compressed gas impose compressive forces upon the sealant material. Shunt plugs associated with two of the modules permit signal transmission across the modules at desired times, and when removed eliminate the possibility of a subscriber being shocked or transmitting a spark when accessing subscriber components of the assembly. The main body and the modules of the assembly preferably are integrally connected and form a unitary sealed assembly.

  • Patent number: 4929238
    Abstract: A multi-pressure injector device, having utility as an angiographic syringe or as an inflation device for balloon angioplasty, wherein an inner barrel/plunger is reposed slidably reposed in an outer barrel, with a second plunger slidably reposed in the inner barrel/plunger, and with the inner barrel/plunger and outer barrel being selectively longitudinally lockable relative to one another along the length of travel of the inner barrel/plunger in the outer barrel. A quick-lock/release structure is disclosed, which is particularly suitable for use with inflation devices for balloon angioplasty. In one aspect, the injector comprises a rotatable connector which is mounted at a distal end of the injector, and includes a distal threaded neck portion and a proximal collar portion of greater diameter than the injector barrel. Such rotatable connector construction facilitates ease of use in attaching the injector to complementary matable structure of catheters, manifolds, and other fluid delivery means.
