US Patent:

41133358, Sep 12, 1978

Filed:

Oct 28, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/736309

Inventors:

Roger J. Lang - Garden Grove CA
Gary E. Lang - Garden Grove CA

Assignee:

Eltra Corporation - Toledo OH

International Classification:

H01R 1100

US Classification:

339 29R

Abstract:

This invention relates to a re-formable multiconductor flat, or ribbon, cable, which comprises a plurality of spaced insulated conductors, aligned in a predetermined, laterally spaced, pattern along a single sheet or film of plastic, the single sheet of plastic being only intermittently bonded to the laterally spaced conductors. The intermittent bonding pattern preferably utilized is one that results in transverse, peelably bonded, areas extending across the width of the entire cable alternating with transverse unbonded areas which also extend across the width of the entire cable. Cable harness units are formed from such cable, by severing a main cable along adjacent bonded areas, mass-terminating conductor ends within the bonded areas, severing the film in the non-bonded area to create a pair of tear tabs, removing the bonding films by exerting manual force on said tear tabs to free the intermediate portions of the conductors so that they may be re-arranged or re-formed to fit optimally within a confined space.

International Classification:

H05K 107

US Classification:

339 17LM

Abstract:

A mechanical and electrical interconnecting mechanism for assembly of a display printed circuit board at a predetermined angle relative a main logic printed circuit board in a hand-held microelectronic calculator. The mechanism permits combined mounting of each of the printed circuit boards within the calculator case and allows wave soldering of the display board to the main board.

Appl. No.:

6/375921

Inventors:

James H. Curley - Van Nuys CA
Roger J. Lang - Garden Grove CA

Assignee:

Allied Corporation - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

H01R 1350

US Classification:

339176MP

Abstract:

A multi-socket connection device, forming an electrical connection with flat ribbon cable, contains a series of individual connectors mounted in a multi-socket connector body. The connector body has a recess for accepting individual connector members and for holding the connector in engagement with the body. The connector member is aligned in its socket to resists displacement of the connector from the socket when a second connector is placed in an electrical engagement with the connector. Additionally, the connector has a means for engaging a cap. The cap is placed on top of the wires forcing the wires down into the connector to form an electrical connection and a latch means on the connector engages the cap to hold the cap firmly in place in the assembled position.

International Classification:

H01B 708

US Classification:

174 27

Abstract:

This invention relates to a multi-conductor laminated cable which comprises a plurality of insulated wire conductor twisted pairs laminated between plastic film, the twisted pairs being aligned in the laminated cable in a manner such that each of the twisted pairs may be separated and terminated more readily, and faster, than present state of the art laminated twisted pair cable -- with little sacrifice in the electrical characteristics. Further, the resulting laminated cable of this invention has an overall narrower cable width for a given number of twisted pairs laminated therein.
