An apparatus for the processing of wire and/or tubular components includes a base member and at least two wire/tube processing modules. The modules can be releasably engaged with each other and the base member in which engagement mechanically and electrically couples the modules and the base member. The base member includes an operator interface enabling operation to any linked module.

Front panel for a room air conditioner

A plastic housing structure for an air conditioning system is provided with a plastic cover at its indoor end, with fastening means formed integrally with those structures such that no separate fastening devices are required. The overlapping skirt portion of the cover includes ribs with notches formed on the top and bottom sides of the skirt. The overlapped portion of the housing structure includes corresponding upwardly and downwardly extending flanges to engage with the notches to retain the cover in its installed position.

Grille mounting for a room air conditioner

A discharge air assembly for use in a room air conditioning unit is disclosed. The discharge air assembly includes both horizontal and vertical louvers for directing the air being discharged in any direction. The horizontal louvers are mounted in V-shaped slots defined by a vertical support member and are secured thereto by a louver retainer which via frictional fit maintains the louvers in the desired position. Additionally, control knobs mounted for sliding displacement are utilized to effect rotational displacement of the vertical air deflectors. The entire assembly is arranged as a subassembly which can be mounted with any room air unit having a discharge opening of a selected size.

Apparatus and a method are disclosed for mounting a grille assembly to a sleeve designed for installation of an air conditioning unit. Rotatable mounting channels are secured to brackets of the grille assembly and may be manipulated from the interior of the sleeve to allow the grille assembly to be secured to the sleeve from the interior of the building. The sleeve includes a sleeve flange coacting with the grille flange and a channel support member having notches for receiving the rotatable mounting channels of the grille assembly for affixing the grille assembly to the sleeve.

Grille mounting means and method

An air conditioning unit and a control box assembly incorporating as a portion thereof a power cord strain relief are disclosed. A portion of the front panel of the control box is bent into a clip portion parallel to the side panel of the control box. The power cord is mounted therebetween and a screw is utilized to displace the clip portion to secure the power cord between the side panel and the clip portion. An opening in the control box allows the power cord to exit therefrom while secured in position by the components of the control box assembly.

Apparatus for joining a sheet to a structural member angled therefrom which includes forming an indented portion in the sheet as well as a slot such that a clip having a tail section, a body section and a head section may be inserted such that the tail section extends through the slot and the head section extends beyond the end of the sheet such that the head section and the tail section are on one side of the sheet and the body section is on the same side of the sheet as the indented portion. The clip head has a screw opening such that a screw may be inserted through the member to which the sheet is to be joined into the clip head. Upon tightening the screw a support surface on the clip tail engages the sheet at the slot and the screw threads engage the interior surface of the indented portion of the sheet thereby securing the sheet to the screw and consequently the member through which the screw extends. The clip head may also have contact surfaces such that the clip body may be deformed against the indented portion of the sheet and held in a deformed stressed position by the contact surfaces thereby securing the clip to the sheet prior to the insertion of the screw. This joint has particular application for aluminum tube sheets used with aluminum heat exchangers when the tube sheets are mounted to a bracket perpendicular to the ends thereof.
