Abstract: A cabinet push lock has a key plug held by a retaining pin engaged in a circumferential groove in the key plug and mounted in a bore coplanar with the pin tumbler bores. The pin tumbler stacks are held in their bores by an elongated cap mounted in a groove closed at the front and extending across both the pin tumbler bores and the retaining pin bore. The cap is held against endwise movement, as by interlocking with the sides of the groove. The groove side walls are staked at spaced areas to releasably retain the cap, and other areas are reserved for subsequent restakings. The retaining pin bore, an aligned diametric bore in the key plug, and a bottom opening in the lock body provide a passage for transmission of thrust to drive a portion of the cap out of the groove to permit cap removal. The diametric bore in the key plug contains a drive pin to block the key slot, and a key stop ahead of the drive pin blocks an additional portion of the key slot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of interconnecting conductors of different layers of a multilayer printed circuit board by forming a depression in the relevant conductor of the outermost layer, so that the insulation layer(s) is deformed and contact is made between the outermost layer and the appropriate conductor(s) of the next layer or layers.The method can suitably be used in multilayer printed circuits on a substrate and in flexible multilayer printed circuits on an electrically insulating foil. In the latter case a temporary backing surface is required for the depression process. The substrate or the temporary backing surface must be deformable to a sufficient degree.

A lock button has a thumb operating section at the top portion of the housing and has a pressure regulating section which regulates the pressure that the bottom end of the lock button exerts against the tape.

Abstract: A vehicle alignment system uses transverse, longitudinal and vertical bars mounted on a vehicle and equating to X, Y and Z axes for establishing the dimensions of the vehicle, which dimensions are then compared to the vehicle engineering specifications. The transverse bars are connected to the underside of the vehicle and, to enable quickness and ease of transferring the alignment system between vehicles, quick connect fittings extend between the transverse and longitudinal bars. Additional supports extend between the longitudinal bars and a base surface. The system is arranged so that transverse bars in a path of entry and exit of the vehicle can be readily removed and the vehicle removed and replaced, while maintaining the alignment system substantially set up and ready for use. The process improves the speed of use of the system by substantially alleviating the dismantling previously required.

Abstract: A process for preparing dry dye granules is disclosed. The process involves the preparation of a controlled moisture content slurry of the dye. Then introducing the slurry into a turbogranulator to form solid spherical particles whose size is controlled by the moisture content of the slurry. Then drying the particles in a fluidized bed dryer by heated air. Most of the fines are removed during the drying stage in the exit air stream from the dryer. The remaining fines and over sized particles are recovered on screening and are combined and ground and used to control the moisture content of the initial slurry. The final solid granules have good strength as compared to the previously marketed spray-dried materials which were in the form of porous hollow spheres. They are more readily dispersible and more rapidly dissolving.
