Apparatus for securing one or more suction tubes, hoses, electrical and/or endoscopic cables, and intravenous and cardiovascular bypass tubing during an operation. The apparatus is a surgical attachment device that comprises a member (preferably molded plastic) having at least one opening adjacent a first surface thereof. A first portion of each opening is designed to slidably secure the tubes, ho...

A novel conductive contact comprises a dual beam spring (308, 310) which forms a "C" shaped spring and which is used to electrically mate to a contact on a printed circuit board. The open end of the "C" spring preferably fits over a plastic rib (404) in a housing for support. A surface mount contact (504) on the PCB has formed wings which fit into a rectangular slot in the PCB. To make electrical ...

A process and device for scanning a moving fiber sliver in a textile machine to measure the thickness of the sliver has a movably mounted scanning element which is pressed against the fiber sliver and has a contact pressure against the sliver. The degree of movement of the movable scanning element indicates changes in the thickness of the moving fiber sliver. An adjusting element is connected to t...

A friction clutch 1 for use in motor vehicles wherein an input member 3,5 receives torque from the engine of the vehicle and an output member 8 transmits torque to the input shaft 10 of a transmission is engaged by a device which generates a force that is proportional to the magnitude of the transmitted torque. The device has two relatively rotatable parts 13, 15 between which are balls engaging r...

An electrical connector provides for the termination of discrete conductors of a multi-conductor cable. The connector includes a connector housing which supports a plurality of electrical contacts. The contacts include insulation displacing contact portions. The insulation displacing contact portions are arranged in longitudinally and vertically spaced rows within the connector housing. A conducto...

The device incorporates a basic cassette (7), a cutter holder (9) which supports a cutter of suitable hard material and a superimposed part (10). The basic cassette incorporates a recess (8) to accommodate the cutter holder and the superimposed part. The cutter holder is formed with an upwardly extending cutter bearer part (12) of circular segment-shaped cross-section, which fits into a corresp. r...

One aspect of the invention provides a sanding tool including a first rigid member having a first planar surface. There is an elongated groove along the surface which receives an edge of a sheet of sandpaper. The sandpaper is supported by a second rigid member with a second surface which extends along the groove outwardly from the first planar surface. Another aspect of the invention provides a sa...

A bellows dispenser has a plunger lock down feature in a non-use position such as shipping and storage. During the plunger lock down a bearing member on the plunger seals the bellows about a container vent opening valve seat for avoiding any leakage in such non-use position.
