151 Rotary vacuum-electric switch US697592 1991-05-08 US5250770A 1993-10-05 John G. Cummings
A control shaft is rotatable in the axial opening in a cylindrical boss projecting forwardly from a front wall of a resinous plastic housing. The boss is received in a cylindrical opening in a panel formed with two slots for receiving mounting members projecting forwardly from the housing and having latching hooks for securing the housing on the panel. The boss and the mounting members form a triangle. The spacing between the boss and the plane of the mounting members is different from the spacing between the cylindrical opening and the plane of the slots whereby an interference fit is produced between the mounting members and the slots to obviate looseness. An anti-rotation pin on the housing is received in another opening in the panel. A key pin on the housing is received in a key opening in the panel. The key pin and the boss are located along a radial line oriented at an acute angle to the plane of the mounting members. Each of the latching hooks has a hook shoulder ramp slanting forwardly and laterally and a lateral ramp tapering forwardly from the hook shoulder ramp. At the intersection between the hook shoulder ramp and the lateral ramp, a rounded member projects rearwardly for engaging the panel and securely retaining the latching hook in the slot. The forward and lateral slanting of the hook shoulder ramps compensates for variations in the thickness of the panel and obviates looseness throughout a range of thickness.
152 Combination high pressure switch and valve device US670560 1991-03-18 US5153396A 1992-10-06 Larry D. Cummings

The force transmitting mechanism includes a pressure sensing diaphragm adapted to be exposed to the pressure to be sensed. The force transmitting mechanism is responsive to pressure above a predetermined lower threshold pressure value to open the high pressure switch. The device also provides for rupturing the pressure sensing diaphragm so as to provide extreme high pressure relief in the event pressures build above a predetermined upper threshold high pressure value substantially higher. Additionally, the device may be electrically connected by means of a blow-off connector. The blow-off connector includes a resilient latch adapted to remain locked and retain the connector in position under normal operating conditions. The latch, however, releases and allows the connector to blow-off at or about the upper threshold pressure.

160 Air assisted hand held welding tool US646882 1984-09-04 US4559437A 1985-12-17 Joseph W. Griffith
An air assisted hand welding tool for clamping and welding conductors together. The tool includes a handle formed of pivotally connected lever-like members. An air passage is connected to an air pressure source provided in the handle of the hand tool. A valve is manually engaged by the operator (following tactile closing of the electrodes on the conductors) to open the air pressure to an expansion chamber formed between the members. As the chamber pressure is increased, the members are urged to a consistent clamping force thereby to assist the operators normal hand clamping function. A switch in the expansion chamber is connected to the welding circuit and is activated following chamber expansion to initiate welding. The entire welding operation including air assist and welding current initiation are all accomplished by a simple closing motion of the operators hand.
