Steven L. Carson - Morrow GA

International Classification:

B66D 100

US Classification:

254218

Abstract:

A star stud adjuster apparatus including an adjuster. The adjuster includes a J-shaped support with an exterior surface having a pair of brackets projecting therefrom. The adjuster includes a handle with a forked end that is capable of being positioned between the brackets. Also provided is a cylindrical member. The cylindrical member has a pair of side surfaces with each having a ratchet integral thereto and projecting therefrom. The cylindrical member is positionable between the forked ends and held in place with an axial rod. Banding material is included. The banding material is weaved around a plurality of bowed studs and is secured by a nail to one of the bowed studs. The banding material is capable of being positioned around the cylindrical member between the forked end when the adjuster is positioned on an opposite stud.

Abstract:

A slide-type switch for controlling electrical output to a light or motor. The switch includes a printed circuit board having a sliding variable resistor mounted thereon. When the variable resistor is adjusted for minimum current flow, the slide on the variable resistor comes into contact with an actuator arm also mounted on the printed circuit board. The actuator arm then becomes detached from a butt contact, breaking the circuit. A novel knob arrangement is also disclosed for use with standard all face plates.
