Retractable Connector For An Electronic Device

US Patent:
7896676, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Feb 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/388408
Inventors:
Frank J. Ziberna - Winfield IL, US
Assignee:
Bi-Link - Bloomingdale IL
International Classification:
H01R 13/62
US Classification:
439310
Abstract:
A retractable connector device having an inner housing, a cover belt, and two sidewalls. The device may comprise electronic components for electronic devices including computer peripheral devices such as serial bus devices, Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices, or IEEE 1394 devices. The belt surrounds a portion of the inner housing. The belt is for moving the device between at least two positions, a deployed position where the connector extends through a hole in the inner housing to connect to a receiving device, and a stored position where the connector is within the housing, separated and protected from external elements by, at least in part, the belt.

Apparatus And Method For Shielding Printed Circuit Boards

US Patent:
7087835, Aug 8, 2006
Filed:
Oct 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/968689
Inventors:
Frank J. Ziberna - Winfield IL, US
Assignee:
Bi-Link Metal Specialties Inc. - Bloomingdale IL
International Classification:
H05K 9/00
US Classification:
174 35R
Abstract:
A shielding apparatus for a portion of a printed circuit board is provided comprising a cover for shielding a selected portion of the printed circuit board. The cover includes an edge, wherein a sidewall is molded about the edge of the cover. The sidewall includes a first and second ledge for supporting the edge of the cover. The shielding apparatus is further shown to include an inner wall extending from a first portion of the sidewall to a second portion of the sidewall for defining discrete areas of the printed circuit board being shielded. In this arrangement, the cover may define apertures in the cover along the abutment with the inner wall to improve flow during the insert molding process and provide a mechanical bond between the cover and the inner wall.

Part Carrier Strip

US Patent:
6016918, Jan 25, 2000
Filed:
Aug 18, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/135837
Inventors:
Frank Ziberna - Winfield IL
Assignee:
Dial Tool Industries, Inc. - Addison IL
International Classification:
B65D 8538
US Classification:
206714
Abstract:
A part carrier strip in combination with a part for insertion therein. A flexible planar part carrier strip includes a plurality of part-receiving apertures define by a plurality of side edges. Each of the aperture side edges includes an inwardly projecting and resiliently deflectable tab. Each part is adapted for securement in a corresponding one of the apertures and includes a closed top side, an open bottom side having a peripheral flange, and a plurality of interconnecting sidewalls. Each sidewall is disposed adjacent a corresponding one of the aperture side edges, and each sidewall further includes an outwardly projecting retaining member spaced upwardly from the peripheral sidewall. The retaining members and the sidewall define therebetween a capture area adapted to receive therewithin an adjacent one of the side edge tabs to thereby retain each part on the strip.
