Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector body with a plurality of terminal receiving cavities formed therein. Each terminal receiving cavity is defined in part by a rigid floor and opposed upright walls. A rigid lock nib extends upwardly from the rigid floor into the terminal receiving cavity. A flexible beam opposes the rigid floor, and preferably includes a terminal hold down bump extending towards the rigid floor at a location generally opposite the rigid lock nib. The connector body is constructed and arranged for receiving a female terminal in each of the terminal receiving cavities. The female terminal may include a first and second end, and a body portion therebetween. The first end is open to receive a male terminal and the second end is constructed for attachment to a wire. The body portion includes a recess or aperture formed therein, defined in part by a rigid lock edge engaging a portion of the rigid lock nib.

Abstract: Dye diffusion thermal printing method and apparatus, particulary for the preparation of 35 mm format slides using a laser as the source of thermal stimulii, in which each successive dye coat of a dye ribbon on which the dye coats are in the form of stripes extending along the longitudinal axis of the ribbon, is brought into register with a receiver sheet by effecting relative transverse movement between the ribbon and the receiver sheet.

Abstract: A flap housing (14) for a foldable radiotelephone handset (10) has a hinge pin (72) with an actuator (96) for the radiotelephone activation switch (44) and a detent catch (88) integrated with the flap housing body (60). The actuator (96) engages the switch (44) to deactivate the handset (10) when the flap housing (14) is in a closed position. The detent catch (88) engages a detent stop (110) on the front housing (30) of the radiotelephone (10) when the flap housing (14) is in an open position.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a circuit board on the neck of a cathode ray tube includes a guide member formed in the cathode ray tube base. The guide member is formed to have a surface extending perpendicular to the tube longitudinal axis. The circuit board incorporates a socket having a channel for receiving the guide member for aligning the socket on the tube base. A portion of a locking piece is inserted through a hole in the socket wall in order to abut the perpendicular surface of the guide member to prevent removal of the socket from the tube base. A second portion of the locking piece forms a hook which cooperates with the socket to prevent inadvertent removal of the locking piece.

Abstract: The invention is a dual purpose container and lid for foods, cosmetics, medicines, nursery products and the like which is convertible to a flower pot. The container body and lid incorporate structural features which facilitate removal of the primary product from the container and utilization of the container for potting, the lid of said container being removable for use as a base for said container.

Abstract: The invention is a plastic container and resealable plastic lid interlock which provide centering and positive sealing of the lid with respect to the container as well as sufficient structural support to allow the container and lid to be processed on existing filling, labeling, and packaging equipment. The invention provides a double interlock, a prying flange for foolproof container opening, positive line contact sealing insured by the double interlock and a stackproof shear resistant lip.
