Flexible circuitry may be wrapped around an elongated support member that is mounted along an edge of the electronic component.

Abstract: A tool includes a handle, a working device, a positioning device, a clamping device, and a fine adjustment mechanism. The handle includes a pivotal end, a grip end, and a plurality of retaining sections. The working device is pivotally connected to the pivotal end of the handle. The positioning device is moveable between a fixing position and an adjusting position. The clamping device is adjustably positioned on the handle. The fine adjustment mechanism for fine adjusting the clamping device is adjustably positioned on the handle and engaged with the clamping device. The fine adjustment mechanism includes at least one positioning unit alternatively engaged with a selective one of the plurality of retaining sections to fix the clamping device to the handle in position. The clamping device is adapted to be fine adjustably moved through a distance smaller than a pitch between two adjacent retaining sections.

Abstract: A fastener includes a frame; a rotary shaft mounted to the frame and having a passage running through a center thereof; two ratchet wheels, a first lock member; a handle pivoted to the rotary shaft; a second lock member movably mounted to the handle and having an operation portion for a user's hand to operate to force the second lock member to disengage from the ratchet wheels; a rewinding member mounted to the handle and having a reel, a spring coil, and a shell; and a strap having two ends, one of which is mounted to the rewinding member and the other passes through the passage, and are wound around the rewinding member. Accordingly, the fastener allows the user to conveniently rewind the strap to enhance the user's operational hand feel.

Abstract: The present invention is briefly named “The tightener” for fastening a selected securing member around an object and carrying it comprising a set of two independent devices. One of them is an ordinary clamp being in common use everywhere in the world with a strap permanently attached to it and said clamp is modified to enable connecting it with a tightening device and named a jamming clamp to distinguish one clamp from the other. The tightening device comprises a shaft with its ends and with a ratchet mechanism is mounted in a two-arms handle. Said handle operating as a lever of the ratchet mechanism turning said shaft.

Abstract: A tool for installation and removal of power transmission belts from fixed center pulleys in a power transmission system. The tool consists of a principal member for attaching to a pulley, thus absorbing forces created during installing and removing belts, and simplifying the process. Separate installing and removing devices are secured to the principal member and all configured to support and maneuver the belt while installing onto, or removing from, the selected pulley.

Abstract: A fence wire tensioning tool includes an arm 2 with fixed jaws 7 attached to both sides and a positioning foot 4 which pivots about a bolt 8. At the opposite end of the arm is fixed a movable jaw assembly 1, which extends to form a handle 3. This assembly rotates about a pivot pin 5, which is secured by a hexagonal socket set screw 10. The handle 3 may include a rubber or plastic hand grip 12 which affords a better purchase on the tool by the operator.

Abstract: A manual post puller mechanism having a lever extendable for increasing the amount of leverage applied for pulling the post from the ground, the lever being securable within a base and serving as a handle graspable by the operator for carrying the mechanism between locations. A chain extends downwardly from a chain engaging front portion of the lever which includes slots that allow the position of the chain to be adjusted so as to vary the amount of leverage applied to the post. A post holder mechanism carried at the bottom of the chain engages the post and defines an enclosed generally rectangular opening that receives the post. A pair of pivot plates coupled with the lever generally hinder an operator's fingers from being pinched during post pulling operations.

Abstract: A belt installation and removal tool is provided for installing and removing a belt on a pulley and includes a handle assembly which includes a hand-grip portion, an extension portion connected to the hand-grip portion, and a finger-containing portion connected to the extension portion. A first finger and a second finger are connected to the finger-containing portion of the handle assembly. A spacer element is connected to the finger-containing portion of the handle assembly and is located between the first finger and the second finger. The spacer element projects a spacer distance out from the finger-containing portion so that the fingers extend completely past the belt. The finger-containing portion includes a reception area for receiving a third finger. The third finger includes a knurled portion which facilitates gripping of the third finger.

Abstract: A belt tightener includes, in addition to a clasping mechanism for a belt to hold motor vehicles and other heavy loads firmly in a given position of transportation device such as a carrier vessel, a specific device for preventing the belt from loosening during its actual use under shaking conditions. The belt tightener can thus, be used advantageously to firmly tie down motor vehicles, cargo containers, heavy objects, and the like with a belt to fixing structures on carrier vessels while preventing the belt from loosening by external forces exerted during rough seas when the vessels are rolling and pitching.

Abstract: A device for gripping or locking a rope or wire comprises a pair of rope engaging members or jaw members defining a pair of oppositely arranged wire engaging surfaces forming a passageway for the rope. The jaw members are mounted in the frame of the gripping device by means of a swinging link suspension including a pair of swinging links. The jaw members are suspended so that the frictional forces acting between the rope and the jaw members cause displacement of the rope engaging surfaces thereon in mutual parallel relationship towards each other, when a pulling force is applied to the rope in a first direction, while the rope engaging surfaces are displaced away from each other, when a pulling force is applied to the rope or wire in a second opposite direction. This means that the rope is pinched between the rope engaging surfaces, when the rope is pulled in the said first direction, and released, when pulled in said second direction.

Abstract: A child's car booster seat that cooperates with the automobile's existing safety belt restraint system is disclosed. A contoured seat bottom elevates the child above the existing automobile seat. A frontal shield is fixed pivotally and slidably along one side of the seat and removably fitted at the other side of the seat to lock into variable positions on the booster seat. A channel traversing the front of the shield accepts the automobile's lap safety belt for securing the booster seat to the automobile's existing car seat. In an open position, the upper surface of the booster seat is completely exposed to permit positioning of the child. The shield can then be pivoted, adjusted and locked with one hand to restrain the child. The automobile's safety belt is then extended across the shield to secure the booster seat to the automobile's existing car seat.
