An ear set with miniaturized electronic sound receiving and emitting equipment, in which the housing containing all or a portion of the electronic equipment has pivotally connected thereto a spring loaded lever to be placed behind the ear, the free end of which is by the preloaded spring continuously urged toward the housing. This lever has a bend and has its free end portion offset relative to that end portion of the lever which is pivotally connected to the housing. The angle of offset is such...

A die set includes a die shoe with upstanding pins and a punch holder having a depending punch and bushings which reciprocally receive the pins of the die shoe with the center distance of the pins greater than the center distance between the bushings to cause line contact of a portion of the circumference of the pins with the bushings. This engagement of the pins and bushings minimizes tilting of the punch holder and facilitates removal of the punch holder and also allows greater deflection of t...
