A file directory structure generator and retrieval tool for use in a computer network is disclosed. The computer network comprises an output device, a local memory, a shared memory, and a local processor operating according to an operating system program and an application program. The local memory and the shared memory store files in a directory structure. Each file and level in the directory structure has network access privileges. The file directory structure generator and retrieval tool has a document locator module that maps the directory structure of the files stored in the memory to a real world hierarchical file structure of files and directories independent of conventions of the operating system. The document locator module can also change the network access privileges for files and directories without exiting the application program.

Network file management with user determined hierarchical file

A switch mechanism having a set of movable conductive contacts adapted to selectively conductively engage a set of conductive paths formed on a printed circuit board in order to open and close circuit paths created thereby. A contact carrier retains the movable contacts in a predefined spaced relationship and slidingly engages a guide member adapted to predeterminately guide the movement of the carrier with respect to the circuit board, the guide member being fixedly secured to a surface of the printed circuit board substrate.

Printed circuit board mounted guide system

A snow blower has a framework with a handle, a laterally adjustable vane shifter plate, a series of shiftable upright vanes for delivering streams of snow forwardly and laterally. The improvement, a snow deflector shield assembly which comprises an elongated laterally extending vane cap plate overlying and secured to the vane shifter plate. A flexible arcuate deflector shield along one edge is hingedly connected to said cap plate and overlies said vanes. A pitch-adjusting handle extends at right angles to and at one end is pivotally connected to said deflector shield and intermediate its ends is adjustably anchored upon the framework handle.
