Filed:

Nov 15, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/153059

Inventors:

Donald F. Gehrs - Brandon MS
Louis L. Runge - Clinton MS
Percy A. White - Clinton MS

Assignee:

Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

E05C 110

US Classification:

292163

Abstract:

A sliding, door latch has a latch member and a spring member integrally molded in one-piece. The latch member, which can be secured in a latch opening in a thin door panel without the use of tools, includes a planar base member which covers and slides reciprocally in the opening. An integral actuator extends traversely from the back of the base member through the opening and has integral bosses on its sides which form grooves engaging tangs in the sides of the latch opening. An integrally molded latch finger projects from the actuator toward the door panel edge. The spring member includes a first pair of spaced apart elongated elements integrally hinged to the actuator, a second pair of elongated elements integrally hinged at one end to the first pair, a beam integrally hinged to and connecting the other ends of the second pair of elongated elements, and a hook integrally molded to the center of the beam and engaging the rear edge of latch opening. The integral spring member biases the latch to the latched position. A finger pocket recessed in the actuator is engaged to slide the latch away from the latched position thereby bending the hinges of the spring member.

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H02B 104

US Classification:

361355

Abstract:

In an electrical transition a nonconductive base has at least one side rail and at least one interior rail spaced apart from a side rail and a wire connector fitted therebetween. The side rail and interior rail prevent the connector from moving across the base. A bus bar is placed on the base and has a tab extending into the opening of the connector.

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H02B 120

US Classification:

174174

Abstract:

In an improved panel interior assembly of the type in which elongated bus bars are snap-fit into an insulating support structure a plurality of integrally molded pins are attached to the insulating support structure positioned to extend through holes in a pan to which the insulating support structure is to be attached. These pins are ultrasonically staked to securely hold the insulating support structure and bus bars attached thereto on the pan.
