Abstract: A beverage dispenser providing access to beverage containers in a refrigerator. Containers may be accessed through the door and may be obtained without opening the door of the refrigerator. Multiple beverage container types may be supplied.

Abstract: An elongated electrical spring strip has an insulating housing comprising a base and a cover snap-locked together. Channels formed in the housing carry multiple parallel contact springs therein transversely to the longitudinal direction of the housing. Shoulders on each contact spring lock the spring into its channel in the housing. A square-sectioned connection pin with a right-angle bent portion is engaged between and may be spot-welded to the contact spring shoulders. The bent portion is captured in a recess between the housing base and the cover to prevent movement relative to the housing when a straight portion of the pin extending from the housing is connected to another electrical component.

Abstract: A multiple purpose plug arrangement comprises an insulator housing wherein pairs of sheet metal strips form contact surfaces. The strips are bent so as to allow them to operate as rest contacts if desired. These rest contacts can be interrupted by a plug which may form a new circuit via the plug or simply interrupt the circuit via the rest contact. Thin insulator sheets permit the selective interruption of any one of the rest contacts.

Abstract: A destructive device for the destruction of equipment such as machines, tanks, and tank gun barrels for example, includes a casing, an alumino-thermic mixture carried therein, and an ignition fuse. The mixture is arranged such that, upon ignition, a heat-generating interreaction is produced for a certain reaction period. The casing is arranged to resist being carbonized by the heat generated by such reaction only for a period substantially commensurate with the reaction period. Consequently, the device may be significantly reduced in size and weight. The casing may comprise a low heat-conductive paper material which also serves to maximize the shock resistibility of the device.
