  • Patent number: 4030000
    Abstract: Support members are located near the corners of a pair of printed circuit cards for holding them together in a fixed, spaced-apart, adjacent and parallel relationship. Each card has a group of holes formed in the same pattern in each of the four corners thereof, at least one hole of each group extending all the way through the card. Each support member comprises a pair of plates that are joined together at a 90.degree. angle along one edges thereof. Load-bearing pegs project from parallel, non-joined together edges of one plate. Flexible posts project from parallel, non-joined together edges of the other plate. An arm extends from each post proximate the end thereof that is spaced from the other plate and in a direction substantially parallel to said parallel edges of the other plate.

  • Patent number: 3990013
    Abstract: An insulated coupling usable with a television tuner shaft or the like for electrically isolating the tuner shaft from the chassis of the television receiver includes a pair of flanged insulating bushings pressed into axially extending chambers formed in the ends of two coupled sections of the tuner shaft. A knurled pin fabricated from hardened steel or other strong material is pressed into the two bushings to hold the two sections of the shaft together with the two flanges of the bushings abutting to form an insulated section between the two coupled sections of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 3989886
    Abstract: A support pin assembly for mounting a wiring passageway cover on a wiring passageway base. The assembly, made of plastic material, consists of a pin and a support clip having a mounting aperture for fastening to the wiring passageway base. The clip has a pair of pin-mounting apertures spaced on opposite sides of the mounting aperture. There is a latching lip at the edge of each pin-mounting aperture. The base of the pin is generally U-shaped with extending legs each terminating in a hook configuration for locking engagement with the latching lip of one of the pin-mounting apertures.
