Appl. No.:

09/903206

Inventors:

Stephen A. Boyle - Attleboro MA
John C. Bergeron - Attleboro MA

Assignee:

Rika Electronics International, Inc. - Attleboro MA

International Classification:

H01R 1324

US Classification:

439700, 439 66

Abstract:

A double-ended, coaxial contact assembly has a center probe rod ( ) mounted in the bore of a dielectric center spacer bushing ( ) and mounts a probe contact assembly on each end of the center probe rod. The center probe rod is received in a ground sleeve ( ) with the probe contact assemblies maintained in coaxial relationship with the ground sleeve by a dielectric outer spacer bushing ( ). In certain embodiments a movable ground plunger ( ) is slidably received in each end of the ground sleeves and biased outwardly by respective ground plunger coil springs ( ). In one such embodiment the center spacer bushing ( â) is provided with an axially extending sleeve disposed between the respective probe contact assembly and the ground sleeve.

International Classification:

H01R 1324

US Classification:

439219, 324754, 439700

Abstract:

An electrical socket ( ) mounts a plurality of electrical contact probes ( ) for providing an electrical connection between terminals of an electronic package ( ) received in a seat ( ) formed in the socket and respective conductive pads of a DUT board. The contact probes each have a slidable contact tip ( ) which is adapted for engagement with a respective terminal of an electronic package received in the socket and which is removable from the contact probe for ease of replacement. The removable contact tips or plungers are provided with a retainer surface ( ) for interengagement with a removable retainer member of the socket.

Appl. No.:

12/479023

Inventors:

Frederick Beauregard - Northbridge MA, US
John Bergeron - Winchendon MA, US

International Classification:

B65D 75/02
B31B 1/26

US Classification:

206784, 493405

Abstract:

A packaging form or blank for one or more lipped containers, where each of the containers has an upper lip that extends outward beyond the periphery of the container body, and where the containers have been placed one inside another to create a nested stack configuration. The form or blank is an elongated, flat construction that defines an opening that is sized and shaped such that when a container body is inserted through the opening, the form rests against the bottom of the lip of the container at the bottom of the stack. When the form is then folded over the stack, the form rests against the top of the lip of the container at the top of the stack. The form or blank also comprises one or more longitudinally-extending sections adapted to be folded to span the space on one side between the form portions that are adjacent to the lips of the containers at the bottom and top of the stack, and laterally-extending flaps that are adapted to be folded to span the spaces between the form portions on two other sides adjacent to the one side, to fully enclose the folded form around the lips of the stack of containers.
