Abstract:
Structural members widely adaptable for use to build various composite structures and assemblies having horizontal and vertical supports, such as columns, beams and rails, are shown and described. The composite structural members include a longitudinal channel having a web and first and second legs. Each leg includes a plane that extends from a side of the web and is inclined relative to the web, and a cylinder is located at an edge of the leg that is spaced from the web. Various fittings can be used to engage at least one of the cylinders of the channel to fix the channel in position relative to a second, third and/or fourth channel to form the column, beam or rail. Further, select brackets can be used to attach together columns, beams and rails of the assembly.

A crimping apparatus for crimping a workpiece such as a terminal or eyelet around a core such as a wire or a fiber optic cable. The apparatus includes upper and lower identical plates supported for opposing reciprocal motion on respective upper and lower portions of a press. Each plate includes two crimp segments. Each crimp segment has an impingement surface. All four of the crimp segments are supported for mutually convergent motion relative to one another. The vertical motion of the two plates closing together drives both the vertical and the lateral components of the convergent crimp segment motion. The impingement surfaces of the respective crimp segments form a generally annular composite crimping surface for cooperatively crimping a work piece into an arcuate configuration around a core.
A simple, unique sine bar for facilitating measurement of compound angles characterized by the precise positioning of three spheres with respect to an upper plate upon which a workpiece is placed for inspection and measurement as to accuracy with respect to a compound angle cut thereon. A right angle corner of the sine bar defines an axis coincident with the center of the sphere thereat, whereby a trigonometric solution of the vertical distances defining the angle cut of the workpiece may be readily determined.
