A bus whose top structure includes a forward and rearward roll-over girder constructed as hollow bearers which are supported at the lower ends on the frame structure of the vehicle in order to increase the rigidity of the top, particularly against compression in case of rolling over during an accident.

A clip operable to connect an electrical terminal post with a bus strip comprises: A. a channel section having opposed arms between which the bus strip is receivable, B. and a generally hook shaped section integral with one of said arms, said hook shaped section containing an opening to pass said terminal post extending generally parallel to said one arm.

A bus frame including a floor frame and a roof frame, the roof frame including a three-dimensional longitudinally continuous framework occupying at least a portion of the total roof frame width. The three-dimensional framework fits along the corners of the bus formed where the roof and side walls of the bus meet. The outer contour of the framework has the form of a triangular prism, one face of the prism coinciding with the bus roof, and another face coinciding with a bus side wall. The prism-sh...

A bus is provided which may be driven over highways and freeways in the usual manner. The bus is equipped with elongated wheel housings which are pivoted to opposite side walls to swing from a horizontal position to a vertical position. When in horizontal position the sides of the elongated wheel housing form decks extending along opposite sides of the bus, the low hung hull forming the bottom of the bus supporting the bus in the water. When the wheel housings are swung into vertical position, t...

A bus bar for electrically coupling a plurality of spaced-apart parallel terminal pins arranged in banks is constructed of flat strips of electrically conductive material. Internal longitudinal slits divide a portion of the strip into sections with every other section being deformed to form a first generally S-shaped bend and the remaining sections being deformed to form a second generally S-shaped bend oppositely directed from the first bend to define with a first bend a pair of passages capabl...

A bus-coupler or bus window in an information transport system for connecting a plurality of buses, to each of which a plurality of arithmetic units, a plurality of memory or storage units and a plurality of input-output units are connected separately through stations. The bus coupler includes a dead-lock control circuit for preventing a dead-lock which could possibly occur in communication between the buses.

A bus body comprises elongated, one-piece panels extending substantially the entire length of the body and defining exterior and interior body sides and roof. A multiplicity of generally U-shaped, one-piece rib members, spaced at intervals along the length of the body and coupled adjacent their ends to the bus floor in an inverted position, are located between the interior and exterior panels and are joined to all of the panels. A plurality of stringer members, located along the joints between t...

A coaxial bus and bus system for electric furnaces which significantly reduces and minimizes heating and losses due to magnetic induction effects are characterized by a concentric tubular bus stem connected at one end to a transformer and branching at the other end to be connected to the furnace. The bus stem includes concentric tubular conductors which are connected at such one end to the transformer by respective diametrically opposed terminal lugs. At such other end, bus branches each includi...

A bus shelter in the form of an open three-sided transparent structure having a translucent roof thereon. The walls of the structure are spaced from the ground to provide an open bottom area through which the wind may sweep dirt and debris from the floor of the shelter, so that maintenance thereof is not required.
