A cable connector housing assembly with an automatic ejector apparatus integral thereto for facilitating disconnection between cable connector housings. A convenient quick-release operating handle is positioned on the connector housing assembly. The handle is used to disconnect the mechanical and electrical connection between first and second electrical connector housings. The connector housing assembly has a novel, pivoting internal cam apparatus which is operatively coupled to the handle, which, when extended, causes the internal cam apparatus to move a captivated V-shaped bar from a first position to a second position, thereby breaking the electrical connection. Internal to the connector housing are rows of locating ribs that facilitate the correct positioning and alignment of the cable end during assembly of the connector. The associated ejector apparatus is positively biased or pre-loaded via compression springs to automatically return to a reactivation position following disconnection of mated connector housings.

Connector assembly with ejector

A number of embodiments of a support for a portion of a limb of a user are described. In one embodiment, the support comprises a frame, and a platform movably connected with the frame such that the platform is variably positionable with respect to the frame. A supporting member is constructed to simultaneously support a wrist and a portion of an arm of the user. A supporting member bearing structure connects the platform with the supporting member such that the supporting member is multi-directionally movable with respect to the frame and the platform.

A bowling ball drilling apparatus for drilling variable size holes includes a table having an upwardly opening ball supporting pocket. A boring apparatus is mounted below the table for reciprocation in a generally vertical direction in a path intersecting the pocket. A carriage moves the boring apparatus in the path. The boring apparatus has an output shaft rotatable about a vertical axis. An adjustable boring head is connected to the output shaft for rotation therewith, the boring head receiving a boring tool and being variable adjusted to offset the boring tool horizontally relative to the vertical axis so that the boring tool orbits about the vertical axis to produce a variable size hole in the bowling ball dependent on an amount of the offset.

Apparatus for drilling variable size holes in bowling ball

The length of a drilling cycle in a bowling ball fitting and drilling method is reduced in an apparatus including a fitting apparatus (10) usable by a bowler to determine the size of a thumb hole and at least one finger hole to be drilled in a bowling ball and including a drilling apparatus (14) having a ball support (22), a rotatable drilling tool (30) movable relative thereto and a drive (36) for the drilling tool (30). A dove tail slide connection (50), (52) provides for moving the drilling tool (30) in an orbital path and an adjustment mechanism (56), (58), (60), (62), (70), (84) is provided whereby the diameter of the orbital path may be varied to vary the diameter of a hole drilled in the ball. A control motor (122) is responsive to the fitting apparatus (10) to operate the adjusting mechanism (56), (58), (60), (62), (70), (84). The control motor 122 is carried by the drive (36) and thus, may be adjusted 'on the fly'.

Apparatus for fitting and for drilling variable size holes in a bowling

Delays in fitting and drilling bowling balls are eliminated in a point of sale bowling ball fitting and drilling apparatus. A fitting apparatus (30) includes two movable finger blocks (34), (36) and a thumb aperture (38). Through the use of inserts taken from a group of inserts (150), the fitting apparatus (30) may be utilized to generate control signals to a drilling apparatus (46). A ball (204) may be positioned within the drilling apparatus (46) and insert receiving holes drilled therein in response to the information received by the drilling apparatus (46) from the fitting apparatus (30).
