Abstract:
A multiple telephone jack slide assembly includes a jack support member for supporting a multitude of telephone jacks upon an electronic wire connecting system. The jack support member has a longitudinal channel formed by a slotted opening for slidingly receiving telephone jacks, the side walls of the telephone jacks engaging edge portions of the slotted opening. One or more retaining members are secured to the jack support member to inhibit further sliding movement of the telephone jacks after the same are inserted in the channel through an opening communicating therewith.

The tow hook hitch includes an upper member extending above the tow hook, a lower member extending below the tow hook, a shaped insert secured to the upper member or lower member for extending within the tow hook, and a clamp bolt for securing the aforementioned components together.
Abstract:
A multiple telephone jack slide assembly includes a jack support member for supporting a multitude of telephone jacks upon an electronic wire connecting system. The jack support member is molded from resilient flame-retardant plastic and includes a channel formed by a rectangular-shaped, elongated slotted aperture. The telephone jacks include side walls which slidingly engage edge portions of the slotted aperture to support the jacks within the channel. The channel has closed ends, and the length of the channel is substantially an integral multiple N of the length of each jack whereby N jacks can be supported in abutting end-to-end relationship with each other and with the closed ends of the channel. The jack support member is sufficiently resilient to permit the channel to be temporarily pulled apart near its central portion for insertion of the jacks into the channel.
Abstract:
A fiber optic cable distribution frame assembly includes a support frame in which a number of drawers are slidingly supported for movement between stored and extended positions. Incoming and outgoing fiber optic cables are routed to each drawer. Each drawer supports rows of termination connector support brackets, each such bracket including two or more connector support columns. Each such support column has first and second sets of support arms extending therefrom in opposing directions. The support arms extend at an angle of between 25 degrees and 65 degrees relative to the plane in which the drawer slides. An adaptor is supported by each of the support arms. Each adaptor receives termination connectors from a selected pair of incoming and outgoing fiber optic cables for removably coupling the selected pair of fiber optic cables.
Abstract:
A multiple telephone jack slide assembly includes a jack support member for supporting a multitude of telephone jacks upon a telephone interchange wiring panel. The jack support member has a longitudinal channel formed by a slotted opening for slidingly receiving grooved telephone jacks, the grooves engaging edge portions of the slotted opening. The jack support member is fastened either directly to the wiring panel by fasteners or is secured within a conventional terminal board mounting bracket. One or more retaining members are secured to the jack support to inhibit further sliding movement of the telephone jacks after the same are inserted in the channel through an open end thereof. The support member may also support a conventional punch down terminal board adjacent the plurality of telephone jacks.

A tow hook hitch assembly attaches to one or both of the front tow hooks provided on a four wheel drive vehicle for mounting a tow ball, winch, or other accessory to the front end of the vehicle. The tow hook hitch includes an upper member extending above the tow hook, a lower member extending below the tow hook, a shaped insert secured to the upper member or lower member for extending within the tow hook, and a clamp bolt for securing the aforementioned components together.
Abstract:
A universal wiring connection cord is disclosed for interconnecting various types of wiring sockets that are interconnected with the electrical lighting system of a towing vehicle to various types of wiring plugs that may be interconnected with the electrical lighting system of a trailer. The universal wiring connection cord includes a central cable housing a number of stranded electrical wires bundled therein. The bundled electrical wires extend from a first end of the central cable and are provided with electrical connectors adapted to be engaged with the electrical terminals housed within the wiring socket mounted to the towing vehicle. The ends of the wires extending from the first end of the central cable are free to move with respect to one another in order to be positioned in the pinout pattern of the wiring socket. The electrical wires also extend from the opposing second end of the central cable and are provided with electrical connectors adapted to be engaged with the terminals housed in the wiring plug mounted to the trailer. Again, the second ends of the electrical wires are free to move relative to one another to match the layout of the terminals within the wiring plug of the trailer. One of the electrical wires is provided at each end with a spring-biased clip for establishing ground connections at the towing vehicle and trailer ends. Rigid wire extensions are provided at the towing vehicle end of the connection cord to facilitate insertion of the connectors into the wiring socket mounted to the towing vehicle.

Abstract:
A high-density pull-out drawer assembly for telecommunications wiring includes a support frame and one or more pull-out drawers. Each pull-out drawer includes a series of fuse protection blocks for receiving removable fuses, and a series of terminal pin blocks for allowing a technician to configure incoming-lines with outgoing lines in order to provide customers with desired levels of service. A wiring raceway is provided for guiding configuration wires extending between the pins of the terminal pin block.
Abstract:
A mounting plate for supporting one or more fuse blocks to a telephone equipment bay frame includes a channel-shaped, elongated support member having mounting arms extending from the opposing ends thereof and adapted to be secured to opposing vertically-oriented standards of the bay frame. The central portion of the elongated support member includes a substantially planar surface used to support one or more of various types of fuse blocks. Sixteen pairs of wiring terminal holes are formed within the elongated support member spaced at equal intervals commensurate with the spacing of wiring terminals provided in conventional fuse blocks. Screw mounting holes are also formed in the elongated support member at spaced intervals midway between adjacent pairs of wiring terminal holes and lying along the central axis of the elongated support member for receiving mounting screws used to secure the fuse blocks to the mounting plate. Ground bar apertures are also formed within the elongated support member adjacent the first, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, twelfth, thirteenth, and sixteenth pairs of wiring terminal holes for receiving one or more ground bus bars extending from the fuse blocks supported by the mounting plate. The mounting plate is adapted to support one or more 8-pin fuse blocks, one or two 16-pin fuse blocks, or combinations thereof.
