The shorter lateral portions of the vertical leg have their upper edges bent toward the stem and are adapted to engage the near side of the stem at a slightly higher elevation than the terminal edge on the far side of the stem.

Abstract: An elongated rectangular clamp member is provided in its underside with a transversely-extending recess for the clamping reception of an attachment hinge leaf of a toilet seat assembly, and a longitudinally extending channel for the reception of a bowl attachment screw having a head longitudinally-adjustably captured therein and adapted to be secured through toilet bowl hinge attachment holes, thereby being adjustable to attachment holes of various spacings.

Abstract: A hinged retaining clip for retaining two mating pieces together is disclosed. The clip comprises two functional ends joined together along the approximate midpoint of the clip by an integral hinge. One end of the clip is fixedly attached to one of the mating pieces and the other end serves to retain the second mating piece to the first. Positive retention of the two mating parts is effected and maintained by cooperating latching means on the header body and on the clip.

Abstract: A clamp for securing a boat with integral oarlock receptacles in an inverted position on the roof of a motor vehicle. The clamp apparatus includes a bolt member that is positioned in an oarlock receptacle, a clamp assembly that can be releasably secured to the motor vehicle's rain gutter or other latching part and extensible and contractible coupling means which extends between and is connected to the bolt member and the clamp assembly. The coupling means can be contracted to draw the bolt member toward the clamp assembly thereby to secure the boat to the roof.

Abstract: A latch assembly for laterally and vertically restraining an aircraft baggage container in position upon the supporting platform of a baggage trailer. Separate latch members are provided for respectively restraining the baggage container against lateral and vertical movement upon the supporting platform. A common actuating member is employed to sequentially release the vertical and lateral restraints so that the vertical restraint may be released (to permit opening of the container doors) without releasing the lateral restraint so that baggage may be placed in or removed from a container located upon a trailer while the container is latched against lateral movement upon the trailer platform.

Abstract: A page keeper having a spring clip such as a clothespin and being removably coupled to a music rack thereby with a spring wire fixedly attached to the spring clip and extending therefrom with at least one spring coil at a first corner bend and with a second corner bend disposed over a page on a music rack or other reading aid and terminating in a smooth surfaced ball for reducing slidable friction to any page it is resting upon and keeping in an open position.

Abstract: A foundation anchor for fastening the base of a machine upon a foundation is equipped with a vertically extending anchor bolt movable in its axial direction, with a clamping nut being provided for attaching the base of the machine to the anchor bolt at the upper end thereof. The bottom of the anchor bolt is pivotally mounted within a cavity which extends beneath the upper surface of the foundation and compensating rings, having a wedge-shaped sectional configuration taken in the axial direction, are provided between the base of the machine and the clamping nut.

Abstract: A fixture attached to the floor of a vehicle for restraining and securely holding a wheelchair and its occupant while the vehicle is in motion. The fixture comprises a framework to which is secured upper and lower clamping jaws which act to grip the propulsion wheels of the wheelchair and which are actuated by a manually controlled air cylinder or equivalent vacuum or hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: A mesh adapted to be lowered on a group of dishes contained in a work-basket of a dish washing machine. The mesh is limp and drapes from its weight over and around the dishes to maintain them as deposited and apart from each other. A mechanized application locates the mesh overhead in the dish washing machine, and causes it to be lowered automatically as stated on the insertion of the dish-loaded work-basket into the machine and raised back to the overhead position on the withdrawal of the work-basket.

Abstract: A mount for securing a pair of telescopic shock absorbers to an end plate in a cushioning unit for a collapsible trailer hitch used for securing a semi-trailer to the deck of a railroad car. An assembly engages indentations in adjacent side portions of each of the shock absorbers at one end portion thereof to secure the shock absorber to an end plate on which the shock absorbers are mounted.

Abstract: A chassis connector and circuit board clip for electronic equipment, said clip having a pair of upright spaced apart legs, each having anchor means for mounting in a slotted chassis, a wall bridging the legs for supporting a circuit board spaced apart from and in alignment with a connector, and a locking tooth carried by one of the legs for holding the edge of an aligned circuit board relative to the chassis and connector. The clip is molded in one piece from plastic dielectric insulating material and one modification thereof also includes means for securing the connector to the chassis.

Abstract: A cable clamp and strain relief device is formed as a single piece from sheet material with a turned spring arm which provides a cable retaining, strain relieving function and a pair of depending leg members formed by flanging material at each transverse margin. The leg members each terminate in a turned distal end and are received in a pair of apertures in a cooperating plate. The terminal part of the distal end has a central tab with shoulders at each side such that normally the central tab springs out beneath the lower surface upon insertion through the apertures, but when insertion is restricted the shoulders may engage the plate lower surface adjoining the aperture to retain the clamp.

Abstract: Loose shelves are anchored against the bottom wall of a cabinet for purpose of shipping. A clip has a flat side enabling it to be slipped, while in contact with the upper surface of the stacked shelves, into a bore in a side wall of the cabinet which bore is substantially tangent to the top of said stack. Thereupon a screwdriver slot in the end of the clip is used to rotate the clip 180.degree. positioning a flange segment on the clip between the shelves and said side wall of the cabinet. The clip has a cylindrical portion on one side of said flange segment for insertion in said bore while on the other side of said flange segment the clip flares to provide a camming portion which locks it in place upon said rotation. A plurality of said clips are used at opposite ends of said shelves. Reversal of the installation procedure enables the clips to be removed and the shelves to be freed.

Abstract: A coiled latch for locating and holding a filter in a housing has two coaxially disposed turns preferably in the form of a conical helix, the smaller of the turns exerts a force on the filter holding it into the housing, while the larger of the turns abuts the peripheral margin of the filter to center it in the housing.

Abstract: A novel article of manufacture for mounting interchangeable electrical units having oppositely directed projections is disclosed. The article consisting of a one-piece mounting frame formed of insulating synthetic plastic material has a row of openings extending between front and rear surfaces into each of which a unit may be inserted until arrested by an abutment provided in each opening. A frame stiffening member having recesses to receive first projections of the units while the units are being inserted into each opening extends along one side of the row of openings and faces another stiffening member located on the other side of the row and having elastic tongues which are yieldable from a first to a second position by the second projections of the units during insertion. Upon insertion, the tongues reassume their first positions, thereby retaining the units. Passages are provided in the frame for insertion of a tool to deflect the corresponding tongues and demount the units.
