Patent number: 5643014Abstract: A mounting arrangement between connector modules of a double-sided modular connecting block and polarity sensitive current and voltage limiting circuit protection devices. Connector modules having multiple pairs of insulation displacement connecting (IDC) terminals are insertable into a mounting bracket to form the double-sided connecting block. Exclusionary posts are selectively molded into a front and rear side of the connector modules and correspond to each pair of terminals. The posts on the front of a connector module align and mate with a cavity included on a front-mounted current and voltage limiting protection device. Similarly posts molded in a different location on the rear side of the connector module align and mate with a cavity included in a rear-mounted protection module. The corresponding posts and cavities create an exclusionary key and slot interface which prevents circuit protection devices of improper polarity from being inserted within the wrong side of a connector module.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1995Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Wayne Scott Filus, Antonio Albino Figueiredo, Adam Stuart Kane, Theodore Edward Kluska, Wayne David Larsen, Jeremia Patrick Starace

Patent number: 5113561Abstract: The rewinder has a tubular housing defining an interior chamber which is open at the top and bottom ends and has an inboard annular shoulder and an aperture through the housing wall. A winder with a handle and an annular shoulder is received in the chamber with the handle extending out the bottom. The winder annular shoulder and the chamber form an annular rewinding compartment. The inboard end of the spring is held to the winder while the spring passes through the aperture in the chamber wall and the rewound spring is retained in the compartment by a cover. The rewinder also has an element that adjusts the effective diameter of the compartment.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1990Date of Patent: May 19, 1992Inventor: Wayne A. Scott

Patent number: 4907311Abstract: A shoe tree which is applied externally to an article of footwear has a base with a toe grip provided on the front portion of the base, and a heel grip provided on the rearward portion of the base. The heel grip is received and is vertically movable on a post which extends generally vertically from the rearward base portion. A preferred embodiment utilizes a post having a roughened exterior and a heel grip having a throughbore which is slightly larger than the diameter of the post, which is received within the heel grip throughbore. When the heel grip is positioned on the heel of the footwear, the heel grip is tipped rearwardly under the natural bias of the flexed sole to thereby frictionally engage the throughbore wall with the roughened post exterior to fix the heel grip in place on the post and maintain the footwear sole in a straightened condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1988Date of Patent: March 13, 1990Inventor: Wayne Scott

Patent number: 4154097Abstract: A dynamometer and method for determining the power of a prime mover includes drive means mounted for rotation by a prime mover, and oscillatory means adapted to move in a linear reciprocal manner. Translation means are provided whereby the rotary motion of the drive means is transformed to linear reciprocal movement of the oscillatory means, the force imposed on the oscillatory means by the translation means being directly proportional to the angular force imposed by the drive means on the translation means. Means are further provided for applying a variable resistive force to the oscillatory means in opposition to movement thereof in one direction without generating significant amounts of friction heat, movement in the one direction being caused by the translation of motion from the drive means. The amount of resistive force imposed on the oscillatory means is correlated with the rotary speed of the drive means to determine the torque of the drive means and the power of the prime mover.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1977Date of Patent: May 15, 1979Inventor: Wayne A.

Patent number: 4064913Abstract: A flexible reinforced hose comprising nylon tubing to which a reinforcement (braid or spiral wrapping) of a synthetic or natural fiber is bonded, said tubing having an outer surface plasticized with meta-cresol to which said reinforcement is applied. Prior to application of the reinforcement excess meta-cresol is wiped off from the tubing whereby minimal residual meta-cresol remains in the completed hose. In the case of reinforcing fiber other than nylon, the bond between the reinforcing layer and the nylon tubing is essentially a mechanical bond whereas in the case of nylon reinforcing fiber, the inner surface of the reinforcement is fusion bonded to the outer surface of the tubing.In the method of making the hose herein, nylon tubing passes through a heated meta-cresol bath with excess meta-cresol being wiped off the tubing prior to application for a reinforcement of synthetic or natural fiber on the plasticized outer surface of the tubing containing minimal residual meta-cresol.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1976Date of Patent: December 27, 1977Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Wayne Scott Busdiecker, Harold Henry Seymour
