Abstract:

A battery for a portable phone is formed with a rectangular battery part and a curved flange part. The battery is held into place in the portable phone by bottom connections including nubs and a jagged portion with surfaces that constrain the battery to move in a plane. The battery is placed into the phone nub side first. Then, the battery is pivoted while the nubs are still engaged, to bring the contacts into position and then the battery is clipped into place.

International Classification:

F16K 29/00
E03B 7/10

US Classification:

137 59, 137549

Abstract:

An irrigation device includes a chamber having a peripheral wall made of a material susceptible to damage from the expansion of water in an interior of the chamber during freezing. A freeze member is located in the chamber and is made of a compressible material. The freeze member is configured to allow unfrozen water to pass through the chamber and to accommodate expansion of the water during freezing to prevent cracking or other damage to the peripheral wall.

Appl. No.:

8/054498

Inventors:

Richard C. Stange - Oceanside CA

Assignee:

Hughes-Avicom International, Inc. - Glendora CA

International Classification:

A47C 772

US Classification:

29718816

Abstract:

A removable passenger control unit (20) is detachably latched in position in a recess in the arm (12) of a passenger seat by means of a rotatable C-shaped pawl (40) that is mounted on a support arm (54) that projects into a recess (48,50,52) in an end of the passenger control unit. The legs (70,72) of the pawl straddle the support arm, and one leg (72) is threadedly engaged with a cap screw (60) that is rotatable and slidable in an aperture at the end of the support arm. The other leg (70) of the C-shaped pawl (40) has an aperture that receives an enlarged head (62) of the cap screw. The arrangement allows the pawl to be rotated between latched and unlatched positions and to be shifted axially of the cap screw by rotation of the cap screw. The capture of an upper leg (70) of the C-shaped pawl by the enlarged head (62) of the cap screw resists tilting moments exerted by engagement of the pawl with a panel edge ( 18) of the passenger seat. The pawl is captured by its cap screw (60) and support arm (54) by the threaded engagement of one pawl leg with the cap screw.

International Classification:

H04M 100

US Classification:

379433

Abstract:

A telephone is provided including (a) a housing defining an ear speaker, a microphone opening and a keypad, (b) a flip cover constructed to cover a portion of the housing, the flip cover being rotatably mounted on the housing to pivot between a closed position and an open position, and (c) a hinge assembly providing the rotatable mounting of the flip cover on the housing. The hinge assembly includes a hinge member retained within the housing, and a pair of hinge pins rotatably engaged at opposite ends of the hinge member and extending outwardly from the housing through apertures in the housing. The hinge pins are received by pin-receiving portions of the flip cover, and the pin-receiving portions are constructed so that rotation of the flip cover between the open and closed positions rotates the hinge pins. The housing includes a portion constructed to cause the flip cover to disengage from the housing, without damage to the flip cover, when the flip cover is rotated beyond its normal open position.
