International Classification:

B65D 85/00
B65B 5/00

US Classification:

206320, 206523

Abstract:

A holder for a telecommunications device includes a container including a side wall connected to a base. Together the side wall and base define a cavity. Side wall defines an opening of the container at an end of the side wall distal to the base. A resilient insert is disposed inside the cavity. The insert includes a bottom portion that abuts the base and a feature for releasably retaining the device inside the container. A lid is in selective locking engagement with the side wall's distal end. When in locking engagement, the lid encloses the opening of the container to retain the device inside the holder, and to muffle a sound and/or a vibration produced by the device. A locking mechanism is operatively attached to the container and/or the lid, and holds the lid and the container together when the lid is in locking engagement with the distal end.

Abstract:

A drive line power transfer mechanism having a housing, a power transfer mechanism, a first fluid, at least one cooling conduit and a fluid source. The housing has a wall member that defines a cavity. The power transfer mechanism is positioned within the cavity. The first fluid is at least partially contained within a cavity. The first fluid lubricates and extracts heat from the power transfer mechanism during the operation of the drive line power transfer mechanism. The cooling conduit is formed within the wall member. The fluid source is in fluid communication with the fluid conduit and passes a second fluid through the cooling conduit to draw heat out of the housing that is generated by the operation of the drive line power transfer mechanism. A method for cooling an axle assembly is also provided.
