Abstract:
An electrical transition switching apparatus and method for permitting transition switching of subscribers lines from earlier generation switching system units such as, panel, crossbar and step-by-step to similar generation systems or to new generation systems such as, the new electronic switching system units (E.S.S.), comprising cut through relay members, power distribution members and relay actuation means for selectively actuating and deactuating said relay members to thereby permit reversible connection of the subscribers'' lines to either of the similar generation units and the new E.S.S. units or to the earlier generation units to which they were originally connected.
Abstract:
A portable, lightweight and foldable support platform comprising a planar support member and a pair of support leg assemblies secured to the support member at the lateral ends thereof with the support member being fabricated having a core of lightweight, high-strength material, such as a balsa wood composition, and having a plastic layer secured to the underside of said core and a nonskid textured plastic layer secured to the upper surface of the core, the longitudinal sides of the core having aluminum rails secured thereto; the leg assemblies being provided with pivotable hinges to enable the same to be folded flat against the underside of said support member for storage thereof; and the ends of said longitudinal side edges being provided with mating toggle latches to enable adjacent ones of said support platforms to be securedly interconnected to form a support assembly.
