    Abstract: A continuous forms feed tractor in the form of an elongated housing (40) mounts for rotation thereon, an endless belt from which protrude longitudinal spaced aligned pins (82), projectable within similarly spaced holes along an edge of a continuous forms record medium (84) for positively feeding the continuous forms medium (84) about a rotary platen (38) and between the platen (38) and a print head (36) for implementing printing on the continuous form (84). The housing (40) is provided with a long cut forms chute (172) running the length of the same, below the endless belt and parallel therewith for feeding letter size or legal size paper sheets onto and about the platen (38). A short cut forms chute (174) extends obliquely through the elongated housing (40), at the end facing the platen (38), inclined downwardly towards the platen (38) and the long cut forms chute (172) for feeding short cut forms, such as a punch card onto and about the platen (38) for printing thereon. Forces are applied on pressure feed rolls (94, 96) to press the cut forms medium against the rotating platen (38) driving them around the platen (38), up past the print mechanism (36). A door (44) pivotally mounted to the side of the housing (40) for movement between a first, upright position exposing the endless belt and a second position sandwiching the form between the door (44) and the top of the elongated housing (40), allows access to the short cut forms chute (174), at the side of the endless belt, when the door (44) is in raised position.

    Abstract: A personal computer includes a frame unit and a top cover mounted to pivot on the frame unit. In one version of the computer, the top cover pivots upward and outward to the rear of the system as it is opened. In another version, the top cover pivots upward to the side. One or more DASD storage devices may be mounted to extend downward from the top cover. A planar board is attached atop the lower side of the frame unit, where flexible mounting hardware allows the attachment of one of several types of planar boards. A central support structure includes a riser card plugged into a connector of the planar board, and a number of card connectors into which option cards can be plugged for electrical connection with the planar board. The central support structure also includes a bracket extending along the rear of the computer, having slots through which port connectors of the option cards can extend. The central support structure is held in engagement with the connector of the planar board by the top cover when this cover is closed. When the top cover is open, the DASD storage devices may be easily replaced, the central support structure may be unplugged from the planar board, and the planar board can be easily replaced or serviced. A front surface of the computer includes a door, which is opened by rotation outward and downward, to be slid inward, providing access for the replacement of media in the storage devices. This door and the top cover are separately lockable using a multi-function lock.

    Abstract: This invention relates to personal computers, and more particularly to personal computers having a connector assembly with an integral retainer enabling resistance to disconnection which would interfere with continued operation of the computer. A particular configuration of card edge connector is provided, and a mating cable end connector is provided with latches which engage and grip undercut portions of recesses adjacent the card edge connector.

    Abstract: DISCLOSED IS A MULTICONDUCTOR, FLAT, INSULATED RIBBON CABLE (10), THE CABLE CONSTRUCTED OF A CONVENTIONAL MATERIAL SUCH AS PVC WITH MULTIPLE CONDUCTORS (11) THEREIN ARRANGED IN SPACED APART SIDE-BY-SIDE RELATION. AND INCLUDING AXIALLY EXTENDING TERMINAL REINFORCED EDGES (L2A, 12B) COMPOSED OF A MATERIAL SUCH AS PTFE OR FE. THE EDGE REINFORCEMENT (13A, 13B) MAY BE FORMED BY A LAMINATION OR EXTRUSION PROCESS THEREBY INHIBITING TEARING OF THE EDGES OF THE MATERIAL WHEN THE CABLE IS INSERTED OR REMOVED FROM AN ENCLOSURE, E.G. OF A PERSONAL COMPUTER. ( FIG 1 )
