International Classification:

H01B 708

US Classification:

174113C

Abstract:

A multiple wire electric cable (10) having a plurality of conductive wires (12), each formed of a multifilament tensile core (14) of unbonded aramid fibers (16). Said conductive wires (12) further having at least a pair of tinsel conductor ribbons (18, 20), spirally wrapped in the same direction about tensile core (14). Further, each of conductor wires (12) arranged in an orientation wherein the spiral wraps of conductor tinsel in each conductor wire (12) are in alternating directions from one conductive wire to the next.

Appl. No.:

7/885523

Inventors:

Edwin L. Wheeler - Boise ID
Edwin R. Peterson - Boise ID

Assignee:

Preco New Products Corp. - Boise ID

International Classification:

B65H 7548

US Classification:

2421071

Abstract:

The invention is a dual reel cord take-up device for flat wire cable which has a generally semi-cylindrical upper and lower case half which snap together over a dual-purpose shaft to make two compartments. The first compartment is a cord take-up compartment which is divided in two by a slotted rib on the shaft in that compartment. Flat wire cable is received in both sides of the compartment through apertures in the walls of the compartment. In the second compartment is a flat coil spring fixed on its outside end to a generally cylindrical spring cup within said compartment, and fixed on its inside end to the dual-purpose shaft in that compartment. The spring cup is biased against rotation except to tighten the spring, so the shaft is continually under tension to rotate and retrieve the cable into the take-up compartment.

Inventors:

Edwin R. Peterson - Boise ID

International Classification:

A01K 2700

US Classification:

119109

Abstract:

Plastic parts have press fit connections requiring no glue or sonic welding. In addition to animal collars the retractor mechanism is used in different types of housings for other purposes such as child restraint or pulling a suitcase on wheels. For use with an animal collar the housing has a leash outlet tunnel and a parallel collar strap tunnel, and may have a transverse clip tunnel to receive a clip for detachably mounting the retractor mechanism on the collar.

Appl. No.:

6/252797

Inventors:

Edwin R. Peterson - Boise ID

International Classification:

A01K 2700

US Classification:

119109

Abstract:

A retractor mechanism is mounted on the collar adjacent the buckle, the weight of these parts holding them under the animal's neck when the leash is retracted. A guide ring half way around the collar provides a stop for a handle on the free end of the leash when the leash is retracted, thus positioning the handle on top of the animal's neck when the leash is not in use. A semicircular spring steel stiffening member extends between the retractor mechanism and said guide ring to secure these parts to the collar and provide a smooth sliding surface for the leash as it is extended and retracted.

International Classification:

B65H 7548

US Classification:

242373

Abstract:

The invention is a dual reel cord take-up device for flat wire cable which has a generally semi-cylindrical upper and lower case half which snap together over a dual-purpose shaft to make two compartments. The first compartment is a cord extension and take-up compartment which is divided in two by a slotted disk on the dual-purpose shaft in that compartment. Flat wire cable is wound on the dual-purpose shaft in both compartments, and extends through two apertures in the walls of the compartment. The cable in one aperture is fixed so it does not move in and out of the aperture. The wire cable in the second aperture is free to extend or retract through the aperture. A spring provides the power to retract cable into the take-up device.
