Antenna system includes a base structure and a multiplicity of vertebrae arranged in a stack to define a spine. The spine has an elongated length which extends from a base end to a tip end. A compression applicator is configured to apply an elastic compression force on the stack in a direction along the elongated length from the tip end to the base end. Vertebra interfaces associated with each of the adjacent pairs of the vertebrae are configured to facilitate a variable deviation in an angular alignment of a vertebra axis of each vertebra relative to an adjacent one of the vertebra contained in the stack.

A battery holder assembly () includes a cavity structure (CS), a screw plate (SP), a spring electrical contact (SEC), an insulator cup (IC), and a pin (). CS () defines a cavity () in a chassis panel (CP) of an electronic device (ED). SP () snugly fits within an opening in CP (). SP has a base () forming a cover for enclosing the cavity. SP forms a connection with CS and a first terminal of a battery (), when battery is positioned in the cavity and SP is fitted within the opening. SEC () provides a connection between battery and SP. IC () snugly receives battery therein. IC fits within the cavity and electrically insulates a second terminal of battery from CS. A battery contact (BC) is disposed on IC. BC () provides a connection to the second terminal. Pin forms a connection between BC and ED.

A retention clamp includes a shaft having a stop member and a first threaded portion, the first threaded portion including a left hand thread. A clamping member is threadably connected to the first threaded portion. A biasing member positioned between the stop member and the clamping member transfers a rotational force applied to the shaft to the clamping member to rotate the clamping member into an engagement position. An indexing member can be slidably received over the first threaded portion and positioned between the stop member and the clamping member. The indexing member is frictionally engageable with the clamping member so indexing member rotation rotates the clamping member. Both the indexing member and the clamping member can include meshable ratchet teeth to assist clamping member rotation. Legs extending transversely from the biasing member can positively engage the stop portion and the indexing member.

An electrical connector has a flexible boot to create a flexible, sealed interface. A connector body has a plurality of pin receivers positioned within a tubular sleeve. The flexible boot is received in the connector body and includes a tubular body of elastically flexible material. The tubular body has a body diameter dimensionally controlled to provide an interference fit when received in the tubular sleeve. A boot flexible sleeve is positioned outward of the tubular body. A boot joining wall homogenously joins the tubular body to the flexible sleeve. A flange extends from a free end of the flexible sleeve defining a circular ring oriented transverse to and encircling the flexible sleeve. A boot ring fixes the flange to a panel. The connector body is thereafter elastically displaceable with respect to the panel when the tubular body deflects with respect to the flexible sleeve and the flange.

A connector () is provided that comprises a dielectric body (DB), pins (), and a plate (). Each pin is captured within DB () so as to extend therethrough. Each pin is defined by a pair of nubs () extending from DB's opposing faces (), respectively. Each nub is movable along an axis aligned with an elongated length of the pin. The plate is formed of a planar conductive material secured to DB adjacent to a first opposing face. The plate comprises apertures through which the pins extend in a first direction. At least one aperture is sized and shaped to form an electrical connection between the plate and selected pins. Resilient spring fingers (RSF) are formed on a periphery of the plate. Each RSF () extends away from DB in a direction between a plane defined by the first opposing face and first direction of the pins.

Radio

Electronic module

A knob assembly for the switch of a radio is provided which prevents the switch from being rotated to certain positions except when the knob is moved in an axial direction after contact with a stop. The knob may be returned to a location where other switch positions may be selected without requiring further axial motion of the knob on the part of the radio operator.
