US Classification:

105 15

Abstract:

The present invention provides a drive assembly for a model toy train which connects a single drive shaft from an electric motor to a pair of discrete truck assemblies. The drive shaft drives a plurality of pinions which in turn drive a pair of worm shafts which extend toward the truck assemblies. A pair of worm wheel shafts are driven by the worm shafts to drive the wheels on the truck assemblies. A saddle and bearing combination rotationally connects the model toy train to the truck assemblies allowing the truck assemblies to freely rotate.

Cardell Corporation - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

H01R 13627

US Classification:

439352

Abstract:

A connector position assurance (CPA) device for use with the latching mechanism of a two-part connector includes a transverse body portion, two spaced, parallel, flexible side arms, and a flexible, generally Z-shaped bottom arm. The bottom arm has a pivot point which causes the distal end of the arm to pivot upon assembly of the connector and consequent flattening of the bottom arm. The rotation of the distal end releases the CPA from a rest position upon complete latching of the components to permit the CPA to move to an engaged position which locks the latch mechanism.
