Abstract: A cable support with tines has a first tined member including open chambers between its tines. Each chamber receives one cable. To hold the individual cables tightly independently of their dimensional deviations, a second tined part with an identical tine distribution is associated with the first tined part. The tines of the first tined part are positioned between the tines of the second tined part. A detachable catch connection provides two-way connection of the two tined parts.

Abstract: A contact keyboard comprising a plurality of modular keys individually insertable in a base frame having feet adjustable in height in order to permit a variable inclination of the key plane. The back feet are pivoted on a shaft internally to lateral sides of the base frame and are provided with edges engaging the support plane for the base frame. The edges have extensive planar portions lying at different distances from the shaft for regulating the inclination of the key plane. The angular position of each back foot is stabilized by a corresponding spring supported by the pivoting shaft and which urges the foot against an associated lateral side of the base frame and causes one of a plurality of notches of the foot to be engaged by a tooth of the associated lateral side of the base frame.

Abstract: Vibration isolation support structure for supporting an object upon a floor or the like. The structure includes a housing in which the lower portion thereof is adapted to engage a floor. The portion of the housing which engages the floor consists of elastomeric material. The housing has an opening therein at the upper portion thereof. Within the housing is a dish-shaped receptacle. A stem extends freely through the opening in the housing and has a base which rests upon the dish-shaped receptacle. The stem is adapted to support a load. The base and the stem are angularly and laterally movable with respect to the dish-shaped receptacle. Therefore, an object supported by the stem is laterally and angularly movable with respect to the housing. Thus, even though a floor upon which the housing rests is uneven in nature, the load supported by the support structure may assume a level position.

Abstract: A tilt mechanism for a stand-alone keyboard includes two molded springs located within the keyboard enclosure. One end of each spring is anchored within the enclosure while the other end shaped in the form of a foot is free to move through openings located in the bottom portion of the keyboard. Notches located on the outer periphery of each foot are adapted to engage an edge of the opening locking the foot in place after a required length of the foot extends from the enclosure.

Abstract: Apparatus providing an improved stabilizer pad assembly or foot construction for outriggers or stabilizer arms provides a housing containing a stabilizer pad in a manner to provide for a three dimensional relative movement therebetween under shifting load conditions. The housing of such apparatus is shell-like in character and has openings in its side and bottom, the side opening accommodating a slip fit therein of a stabilizer pad and its containment without any positive interconnection thereof to the housing. The containment of the pad is achieved by the application of a readily releasable rod to and across the side opening to the interior of the housing. The opening in the bottom of the housing provides for the dependency therethrough of an anchoring element forming part of the pad, which may be reversible in character.

Abstract: This invention relates to a wiring diagram pocket for a switchboard cabinet essentially comprising a panel, the edges of which along its two vertical sides and its bottom are bent with multiple right angles forming abutment sections which extend at a distance from and parallel to the panel.

Abstract: A multiple position leg assembly for a heat exchange unit is disclosed. A support surface has a pair of slots which coact with a leg such that the leg has a shipping position wherein it does not extend beyond the bottom of the unit and has a support position wherein it is securely fastened in the slots of the support surface to maintain the unit a preselected distance from a mounting structure. The leg is designed such that internal forces act to secure narrowed portions of the leg in the slots to provide a secure support for the unit.

The base and the stem are angularly and laterally movable with respect to the dish-shaped receptacle.

Abstract: This invention is related to a vibration isolating surface protector having high traction properties. A soft compliant substantially platelike foam cushion is bonded to a substantially rigid backing plate and the periphery of the cushion has an integrally coated compliant membrane. When an axial or oblique force is applied to the backing plate surface remote from the cushion, the cushion and membrane compress, yielding extraordinary traction properties.

Abstract: Improvements are disclosed in liquid level sensing apparatus having a liquid replenishment line so that as liquid is expended more may be added to keep the liquid at a desired predetermined level. The apparatus is contemplated for use in the humidification of gases, particularly for the administration of oxygen and the like to a patient.

Abstract: A removable light-weight, apparatus for the aeration of a body of water or other liquid in a tank or a pool having a submerged liquid source or inlet port supplying a continuous or a sporadic stream of liquid into said tank, said aeration apparatus comprising an air induction tube extending between and communicating at its upper and lower ends respectively with the ambient atmosphere and the liquid stream, and support means for said tube, the reduced pressure along the stream of liquid drawing air from the atmosphere into the liquid in the tank. A conduit may be provided coupled to the outlet of the liquid inlet port, the lower end of said air induction tube being inserted through the tubular wall of said conduit so as to permit the air in the lower end of the air induction tube to communicate with the liquid moving through the conduit, said conduit preferably terminating in a filter or a diffuser.

Abstract: An improved float pad mounting is disclosed for releasably connecting the float pad to an outrigger lift jack shaft. The lift jack can be activated to move the shaft between a retracted position for outrigger travel and extended positions grounding the float pad for stabilized outrigger support. The float pad has a base of large area and a central hub upstanding from the base. Cooperating hemispherical surfaces are formed between the shaft and the hub which become engaged in the extended positions to transmit the outrigger load to the float pad base. An annular collar surrounds the shaft, and a pin extended through aligned openings in the collar and shaft secures the collar to the shaft at a location slightly above the load transmitting surface. Two closed links are loosely connected to the collar at 180.degree. spacings around the center axis of the shaft, and two lugs are formed on the float pad hub at like 180.degree. spacings around said hub.

Abstract: The fault indicator case has a concave mounting surface along which extend two legs having at their ends mounted jaws with serrated surfaces for engaging cable from below. Camming surfaces on the jaws facilitate placing the case on the cable. A shield can be fastened to the case after having been mounted.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for improving building heating and cooling, wherein relatively cooler air is circulated upwardly from adjacent the floor of a room or other space. The upwardly projected relatively cooler air displaces relatively warmer air from the upper part of the room or space, and the warmer air is displaced to a lower level, thereby tending to equalize the air temperatures at different levels of the room or space. The apparatus used for air circulation is adapted for use also in periods when cooling is required, as in summer, in a disposition to propel air horizontally. The apparatus structure includes adjustable legs permitting use of the fan or blower in dual positions.

Abstract: A refrigerator cabinet is supported at the rear corners by vertically adjustable legs and at the front by a pair of widely-spaced front wheel assemblies that are connected through a self-leveling system. Movable members associated with each of the wheel assemblies are connected by a rod that serves to cause each movable member to urge its corresponding wheel assembly downwardly with like force. When the cabinet is placed on an uneven supporting surface, the wheel assemblies move up and down until the forces supported by each are equal.
