摘要： A tool changer including male and female flanges for connecting end effectors to robot arms. A male flange having a tapered projection is inserted into a tapered opening in a female flange having a rod coaxial with the diameter of the tapered opening. A rotatable locking stud is aligned within an opening in the male projection and includes a slot having locking grooves at its lower end. The stud is rotated through an angle causing the male and female flanges to be drawn together until the cooperating tapers are seated together. A spring retains the flanges in the locked position. A cooperating pin and pin receiving socket respectively provided on the male and female flanges at locations displaced from the male and female tapers are utilized to assure proper orientation between flanges and to prevent rotation of the flanges. Electrical terminals on the male connecting flange engage cooperating conductive terminals on the female flange, providing an electrical path between electrical sources and load utilization devices on the end effectors. Pneumatic couplings are also provided between the male and female flanges. A plurality of removable flange identifying pins are arranged along the circumferential wall of the male flange for electrical engagement with cooperating sensors provided in each tool holder of a tool crib for identifying the type of end effector being stored. A single operator arm is provided in the tool crib for simultaneously moving the operating arms of all of the tools in the tool crib respectively to the engaged and disengaged positions.

摘要： A tool changer including male and female flanges for respectively connecting end effectors to robot arms and the like. A male flange assembly having a tapered projection is inserted into a tapered female flange member having a rod aligned along the diameter of the tapered opening. A rotatably mounted locking stud is aligned within an opening in the male tapered projection and is machined to provide a slot having locking grooves as its lower end. The stud is rotated through a 35 degree angle causing the male and female flanges to be drawn together until the cooperating tapers are seated together. A spring retains the flanges in the locked position. A cooperating pin and pin receiving socket respectively provided on the male and female flanges at locations displaced from the male and female tapers are utilized to assure the proper orientation between flanges and to prevent rotation of the flanges. Spring loaded electrical terminals provided on the male connecting flange firmly engage cooperating conductive terminals fixedly mounted upon the female flange to complete an electrical path between electrical sources and load utilization devices forming part of the end effectors. Pneumatic couplings are provided by means of tapered projections arranged on the male flange and cooperating tapered openings provided on the female flange. O-rings arranged on grooves on each of the tapered projections provide air-tight seals between the coupling.

摘要： A dual purpose wall plate (10) includes a flat support plate (20) that defines on one half a support plate opening (26) and a sloped cable support extension (32) for extending into the hollow wall structure and for passing low voltage communications cable (39) through the wall. The other half of the support plate (20) includes a plug opening (38) and a plug receptacle housing (40) and a high voltage plug receptacle (44) for receiving a power plug (41). The external surface of the dual purpose wall plate is substantially flat and substantially coextensive with the wall to which it is mounted, therefore forming no protrusions that would interfere with the mounting of a flat screen television or other device directly over the wall plate.

摘要： A high chair features various modes of adjustability and enhanced utility. The height of the chair can be adjusted using a single hand that engages a rear handle. The height of a seat platform of the chair can be adjusted separately relative to the tray. The tray itself is ergonomically designed for the benefit of the caregiver. A removable tray liner facilitates after-meal clean-up. Wheels on the underside of the tray ease fore/aft adjustment. A pivoting back rest of the chair minimizes rearward shift of the center of gravity of the occupied chair, thus requiring a smaller chair footprint. Further, an accessory bar pivoted to a seat back portion of the chair provides readily accessible entertainment.

摘要： A wall plate (10) is provided that accommodates communication cable and is formed by a support plate (11) and a cable support extension (12) mounted to the inner surface (20) support plate. The cable support extension is open-ended, with one opening in communication with the access opening (26) of the support plate (11) and the other opening projecting inside the wall structure (50). This allows the communication cable (56) to be fed from within the wall structure, through the wall plate, and beyond, with the cable support extension functioning as an interior sight barrier without obstructing the placement of a flat screen television set or other wall mounted objects.

摘要： The apparatus is a reduced size baby stroller with a structure that counteracts the usual lengthening when the stroller is folded. The rear wheels of the stroller are interconnected with the front legs and attached to the rear legs by a pivoting wheel link so that the rear wheels do not separate from the front wheels when folded, but instead pivot out of alignment with the rear legs. The stroller handles are mounted on tubes that can telescope inward because all the attachments to the outer tubes are made by external fixtures that do not penetrate into the interior of the tubes, and the canopy can also slide inward when the stroller is folded because the canopy frame in mounted on a fixture with a track.

摘要： The apparatus is a baby stroller that folds easily. A fold bar preventing the sides from moving toward each other is released by pulling a flexible wire. The wire releases a latch locking together pivoting sections of the fold bar and also activates a cam to move the sections over center to permit the sides to be pushed together. The stroller also includes a single action brake system that is designed to not interfere with the folding action and a hard surface footrest that folds because it is supported on a continuous length of flexible material that acts as hinges on both sides and the center of the footrest.
