An antenna system for an article of furniture in which a panel of the article of furniture is sealed by a low loss dielectric material to isolate the panel from impurities which affect its electrical integrity. An antenna structure is applied thereon by silk screening, painting or otherwise marking of a conductive ink, or by vacuum deposition techniques, or by application of stamped or die cut foil, or by metallic tape, all by way of example. Connections to the antenna structure are made by compressing a conductive elastomeric material against terminations of the antenna structure so as to avoid temperature or other initiated dimensional changes of the panel which could effect the contact resistance to the terminations of the antenna structure, and also to avoid damaging the antenna structure. A specific connection arrangement is disclosed.

Furniture antenna system

A power tool in which feed rate information is used as a means of changing cutting implement speed to maintain an optimum chip rate removal. As the tool is loaded by a feed rate increase, the motor speed will increase to that point empirically determine to provide a good finish for the material and cutting implement size selected. If the load decreases, the motor speed will correspondingly decrease to that speed which will provide a good finish for the material and cutting implement size selected with out overheating of the material. A limit would be set to indicate to an operator when he is at the upper limit of the speed and feed rate range and turn off the tool after a short period of time to prevent destructive overheating.

Speed regulator for power tool

An electronic control board implemented by a printed circuit board is supported on a flexible lens or bezel which may be flexed to allow insertion, so as to be retained. The edges of the bezel are received in the interior periphery of an opening in a support housing, which opening is closed off by the bezel and by a cap which retains the exposed periphery of the bezel in its interior portion. Lugs may extend from the support housing and the cap against the printed circuit board to provide better support. The entire assembly is maintained unitary and retained to a power tool by fastening means such as screws extending therethrough and into the power tool.

Mounting for electronic circuit board in power hand tool

This disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for providing in a tool, appliance, or other electrically operated device the safety feature of requiring that the trigger or ON-OFF switch be in or returned to the OFF position before the tool will respond to placing the trigger or ON-OFF switch in the ON position.
