Patent CA-2229115-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH LESTER
IPC: F16B13/08
Filed: 1998-02-09
Abstract: A toggle member comprising an elongated cylindrical tube having a slot from one end to approximately the center of the tube, defining an opening and channel to receive a fastening bolt; a pivoting threaded bolt engaging with a round ball, the ball threaded to engage the bolt, the ball acting as a pivotally mounted system to allow the bolt to pivot in a manner relocating itself inside and parallel with the tube, said ball being attached toan elastomeric spring bias material tongue fixably seated within the tube so as to exert a spring bias in a direction to force the bolt perpendicular to the tube. The toggle member is meant to be used with a threaded bolt or screw. The elastomeric spring being thinner in the direction facing the bolt entrance allows the bolt to swivel or pivot parallel and into the tube. When the bolt resumes its perpendicular position relative to the tube it is further restricted against the torque exerted by the rotation of the bolt, when the bolt is tightened, by the spring width being greater, in this axis, and having greater strength and moment of inertia, statically restricting the ball from rotating and always keeping it located to its center position within the tube.

Title: Refrigerator cabinet and method of assembling the same
Inventor: VOLL SCOTT R
IPC: F25D23/06
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: A refrigerator cabinet assembly includes a shell formed by opposed, upright side walls and a top wall, all of which have in-turned front and rear face portions with each of the front face portions terminating in a return flange defining a liner receiving cavity opening forwardly of the shell.  Each liner receiving cavity is spaced inwardly of a respective side and top wall such that a channel, which is readily accessible from within the shell, is defined.  A rear wall is interconnected to the side and top walls by being arranged between and forced to intimately contact a pair of spaced layers defining the rear face portions of each of these walls.  A plurality of reinforcement members, including a pair of upper corner plates and a pair of side reinforcement bars adapted to be arranged in the channel, as well as upper and lower crossbars in one preferred embodiment that interconnect the side reinforcement members, are attached to the shell, along with a mullion plate and a faceplate.  Since the return flanges open forwardly of the shell, a liner can be front loaded therein in a quick and easy fashion with an inwardly extending flange provided on the liner projecting into the liner receiving cavity.  The side reinforcement members and their associated brackets are provided with structure defining hinge locations for both refrigerator door hinges, as well as one hinge for a freezer compartment, to assure proper alignment and spacing of the hinges.

Title: Circuit breaker with welded contact interlock, gas sealing cam rider and double rate spring
Inventor: SLEPIAN ROBERT M
IPC: H01H71/50
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a housing, an operating mechanism and separable main contacts, and a rotatable crossbar which rotates to open and close the contacts. The crossbar interacts by way of a protrusion thereon with a rotatable, positive off-link. A handle mechanism is disposed in the housing and has a handle protruding from the housing which is normally movable from a closed to open disposition. However, if the operating mechanism has reacted in such a way as to open the separable main contacts but, in fact, they have not opened because, for example, they are welded shut, the protrusion on the crossbar will interact with the positive off-link and prevent the handle mechanism from moving to the opened position thus warning personnel that the contacts have not opened. There is also provided in association with the crossbar a cam which is spring loaded from the bottom against a portion of a cavity in a crossbar which interacts with a movable portion of the movable contact in such a manner as to latch it open when it has independently moved to an opened position relative to the rotatable crossbar. The cam rider reacts in such a way that it seals off or protects the aforementioned spring from gaseous arc products during the opening operation. There is provided on the trip mechanism a double pitch spring. The double pitch being such as to expand the range of the adjustment characteristic of the tripping mechanism.

Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: A press-on, twist-off closure (11) for a container having a cylindrical neck which includes a plurality of vertically spaced helical threads formed in the outer surface thereof in generally parallel relationship to each other. A  flexible, cylindrical closure skirt (13) includes a plurality of radially inwardly projecting spaced, deformable lugs (32) that are circumferentially disposed around the inner cylindrical skirt surface and axially spaced therefrom for engagement with the threads on the cylindrical neck of the container. The lugs are sized so that an interference fit is provided between at least some of the lugs and at least some of the threads. Upon removal from the container, a rotational movement causes at least some of the lugs to engage upwardly inclined surfaces on the threads, thereby providing an upward camming action to the closure.
Patent CA-2241672-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved fastening nut
Inventor: MEDEIROS JAY C
IPC: H01R4/38
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: A vibration-tolerant torque limiting fastening lug whereupon tightening of the set-screw produces a parasitic torque at the thread plane defining the set-screw/housing interface. The resulting parasitic torque acts in opposite direction to the installation torque such that the actual torque below the thread plane is less than the installation torque. As a result, the tensile force experienced by the set-screw and which acts against the housing of the lug is reduced.
