  • Patent number: 6938479
    Abstract: A novel sensing device having a unique structure, for measuring volume, position or mass of matter (11) comprising of a housing (12) having a removable top (13), a permanent bottom (14), an electronic oscillator board (15) having plurality of electronic components for measuring volume, position, or mass of matter. A coax type wire (16) having a first end (17) connected to said electronic oscillator board (15) and a second end (18) terminating at the bottom of receiver hole (20). A retainer (19) used to form said receiver hole (20) having a top end (21) open to said permanent bottom (14) on said housing (12) to accommodate said coax type wire (16). Said receiver hole 20 having a bottom end (22) and lower end (25) being isolated by said non-conductive material (23). Said non-conductive material (23) having an upper end (24) being attached by mounting means (26) to said permanent bottom (14) of housing (12).

  • Patent number: 6276644
    Abstract: A novel cable anchor for retainment and attachment of cables and tubing which utilizes a one-piece A-shaped rigid body (11) comprising of a U-shaped top (12) having the front, back and bottom open having two extensions one W-shaped left side extension (13) and one W-shaped right side extension (14) both extensions extending in a downward direction having 40 degrees more or less between the extensions. The W-shaped extensions having a barb surface located at the extreme outer surfaces of the W-shape. The U-shaped top (12) having an attachment hole (15) located at the top center. When manual pressure is applied on the outer surfaces of the extensions causing the extensions to move closer towards each other until the extensions are touching each other in the closed position thereby allowing the A-shaped rigid body (11) to be received in a bored hole of a substructure. The U-shaped top (12) may be flattened to facilitate the attachment of a separate cable clip or the like.

  • Patent number: 5639049
    Abstract: A novel cable clip for retainment of cables or tubing which utilizes a one-piece J-shaped rigid body (9) comprising of a cupped shaped bottom (10) having both ends open, a short side (11) having a locking device located at the end of the said short side (11), a long side (12) having a locking device located at the unattached end of the punched-out projection surface (13), said punched-out projection surface extending in a downward direction pointing towards the said short side locking device and being part of said long side (12). At the upper end of said long side (12) having an attachment hole (14) having a mechanical device for attachment of said J-shaped rigid body (9) to a substructure. The said J-shaped rigid body (9) can be flexed repeatedly along the surface of both the short side (11 ) and long side (12) where they become common with the cupped shaped bottom (10) without fracturing, allowing the locking devices to interlock repeatedly and to disengage repeatedly.

  • Patent number: 5462312
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an enclosure for establishing a coupling between two tubes. In particular, the invention provides shielding for transmission lines extending through the coupling. The enclosure is comprised of lengths of identical split tubing portions are engaged with one another form a tubular replacement section. Identical interlocking elements engage one another and secure the replacement section between the two tubes.
