International Classification:

B23Q 5/12

US Classification:

173176, 173 48, 173104, 173178

Abstract:

A multi-speed drill includes a housing with a motor including an output member. A constant mesh parallel axis transmission can be disposed in the housing and can include a high speed and low speed gears. A clutch member can be associated with the low speed gear. A conical spring can bias the low speed gear and the clutch member together for torque transfer up to a predetermined torque level. Above the predetermined level, cam surfaces between the low speed gear and the clutch member move them apart, thereby limiting torque transfer to the output spindle. In the high speed mode the torque transfer between the input pinion and the output spindle bypasses the clutch member. The maximum torque level capable of being generated at the output spindle in the high speed mode can be less than the predetermined torque level.

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

H01R 1366

US Classification:

439 95

Abstract:

Modular electrical connector assemblies and filtered connector inserts therefor. The assembly includes one or more connector inserts removably mounted within an outer shell. The filtered insert comprises a housing means, at least a portion of which is electrically conductive; at least one electrical contact within the housing means; and filter means within the housing electrically coupled to the contact for filtering interference, and electrically coupled to the conductive housing portion for providing a grounding path from the filter means to the conductive housing portion. Means are also provided for electrically coupling the conductive housing portion of the insert to the outer shell automatically when the insert is positioned in and mounted to the shell to provide an external grounding path from the conductive housing portion to the shell. With the invention connection of the grounding plane of the insert to external ground is achieved automatically upon mounting of the insert to the shell without requiring a solder connection and without using complex mounting springs or grounding clips, thus retaining the ability to easily mount and remove the filtered insert from the shell. The filtered insert preferably also has the same dimensions and contact placement as its corresponding unfiltered insert, and is fully interchangeable therewith.

International Classification:

H01R 13658

US Classification:

439609

Abstract:

A connector array (10) for mounting to a circuit board is disclosed including a conductive shroud (16) and two electrical connectors (12, 14). The shroud includes a conductive first plate (60) that separates the two connectors (12, 14) and the leads (34) of one connector from the leads (38) of the other connector. The shroud includes solder tails (68) that electrically engage ground circuitry on the circuit board (18). A conductive second plate (64) is spaced from and parallel to the first plate (60). Contacts (72, 80) extend from edges of each of the first and second plates and are arranged so that when memory cards (28, 30) are mated with the two connectors the contacts electrically engage outer conductive surfaces of the two memory cards. The two connectors are secured in a vertically stacked position by means of a pair of clips (50) that are in interfering engagement with openings (52) formed in outer walls of the housings of the two connectors.

International Classification:

H01R 466

US Classification:

439 95

Abstract:

Modular electrical connector assemblies and filtered connector inserts therefor. The assembly includes one or more filtered connector inserts releasably mounted within an outer conductive shell. A plurality of filtered contact assemblies are releasably retained within the insert. Each filtered contact assembly includes an electrical contact, a filter electrically coupled to the contact, and a first grounding means electrically coupled to said filter. The filtered contact assemblies are releasably and electrically coupled to the insert when the assemblies are releasably mounted to the insert, and to the outer shell when the insert is mounted within the shell. With the invention, a grounding path is automatically provided from the filter associated with each filtered contact assembly to the outer shell to dissipate filtered interference, while allowing individual removal and replacement of each filtered contact assembly from the insert, and removal and replacement of each insert from the shell. The filtered inserts have the same dimensions and contact placement as their corresponding unfiltered inserts, and are fully interchangeable therewith.

International Classification:

F16B 1304

US Classification:

411 32

Abstract:

A dual expansion anchor comprising a pair of inner and outer expansion fasteners connected to each other by means of a screw-threaded connecting tie, said expansion fasteners being adjustable on the connecting tie to adjust to the spaced positions of an inner supporting structure and an outer supported wall. Insertion limiting means is provided to limit insertion of the inner expansion fastener into the inner supporting structure in order to fix the position of said expansion fastener in said supporting structure. Torque applying means applied to the connecting tie expands the inner expansion fastener. Torque applying means applied to a nut on the connecting tie expands the outer expansion fastener.

Abstract:

A dual expansion and non-expansion anchor comprising a pair of inner and outer expansion fasteners connected to each other by means of a screw-threaded connecting tie, said expansion fasteners being adjustable on the connecting tie to adjust to the spaced positions of an inner supporting structure and an outer supported wall. Insertion limiting means is provided to limit insertion of the inner fastener into the inner supporting structure in order to fix the position of said inner fastener in said supporting structure. Torque applying means applied to the connecting tie inserts and sets the inner fastener. Torque applying means applied to a nut on the connecting tie expands the outer expansion fastener.
