2 Claims.
This invention relates generally to fastener units and more particularly to preassembled nuts and retainers therefor designed for permanent attachment within an aperture of a work piece or sheet.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fastener unit of extremely simple and practical construction consisting of a nut and a sheet metal retainer or cage therefor wherein the constituent parts may be relatively rotated to effect permanent attachment within a complementary aperture of a work piece.
More specifically the invention is directed to a fastener unit as set forth above wherein a nut rotatably mounted upon a complementary sheet metal retainer may be housed within said retainer and inserted as a preassembled unit within the aperture of a work piece, the nut being thereafter rotatable to effect overlying of one side of the work piece by the nut and the opposite side of the work piece by the retainer member.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a fastener unit consisting of a nut and a sheet metal retainer or cage therefor which unit may be applied to or inserted within a work aperture without the necessity of springing or flexing the cage member and to this end the invention contemplates rotatability of the nut within a sheet metal cage after telescopic association of the fastener unit with the work aperture.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages will be more apparent from the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein Fig. 1 is a perspective view disclosing a fastener unit of the present invention applied to an apertured work sheet;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged, central, transverse, sectional view taken substantially along the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view disclosing the relative positions of the nut and retainer member constituting the fastener unit during initial association thereof with the aperture of a work piece;
Fig. 4 is a transverse, sectional view taken substantially along the lines 4-4 of Fig. 3 after the fastener unit of Fig. 3 has been completely inserted within the work aperture;
Fig. 5 is a front elevational view taken substantially along the line 55 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 6 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 4 disclosing. a modified form of coupling between are relatively rotatable and secured against axial separation.
Referring now to the drawing, wherein like numerals have been employed to designate similar parts throughout the various figures, it will be seen that one embodiment of a fastener unit contemplated by the present invention is designated generally by the numeral ID. This fastener unit includes a nut member l2 and a sheet metal nut retainer l4. The nut retainer it may be produced from a strip of sheet metal stock and apertured to accommodate an annular protuberance l6 extending from one face of the nut member l2. The outer extremity of this protuberance is swaged or otherwise forced radially outwardly to provide a shoulder it. In this manner the nut is relatively rotatable with respect to the sheet metal retainer it within given limits.
The aperture in the retainer for accommodating the annular nut protuberance It is formed in a plate section 20 which superimposes the outer surface of the nut. Spacing members 22 depend from the plate 20 and terminate in radially extending feet portions or flanges 24. It will be noted that the width of the portion of the retainer member intermediate the feet 24, namely the plate 20 and spacer members connected thereto is substantially equal to the width of the nut taken across its narrower width as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3. The nut is secured against further counterclockwise rotation with respect to the retainer member M by reason of the engagement of the corner portions 26 of the nut engaging with the inner surfaces of adjacent spacer members 22. Opposite corners of the nut I 2 have been relieved or chamfered so as to permit clockwise rotation of the nut from the position shown in Fig. 3 to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 5.
With the constituent elements of the fastener unit occupying the position shown in Fig. 3, the portion of the nut retainer bounded by the plate 20 and the spacer members 22 may be telescopically associated or inserted within a complementally shaped rectangular aperture 28 in a work piece 30. The nut l2 may now be rotated to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 5, the en agement of the retainer stock within the aperture 28 serving to secure said retainer against rotation with respect to the work piece. As the nut I2 reaches the limit of its rotary displacement, fingers or abutments 32 depending from the plate 20 of the retainer member spring inwardly into the nut and retainer member whereby the parts latching relation with respect to the adjacent 3 side surfaces of the nut and thereby secure the nut against inadvertent or unauthorized turning. Other devices such as dimples or the like may be employed with equal facility to function similarly to the fingers 32 in securing the nut in its attached or work overlying position. It will be noted that in this. position opposite extremities of the nut overlie one surface of the work piece 30 and the radial feet or flanges 24 of the retainer member overlie the opposite surface of the work piece 38 in the vicinity of the aperture 28.
With the fastener unit secured in position upon the work piece 38 a complementary screw member 34 may be inserted through. an. aperture in a work piece 86 and tightened within the nut i2. Any tendency for the screw to withdraw the fastener unit from the work aperture 28 is re sisted by the engagement of the overlying portions of the nut I2 and any tendency for the fastener unit to be forced in the opposite direction is resisted by the engagement of the feet 24- with the opposite surface of the work piece 88. If it is desired to have the fastener unit loosely mounted within the aperture 28 so as to permit lateral shifting within given limits within the aperture this may be accomplished by making the aperture slightly larger than the overall width and length of the retainer plate 28. To remove the fastener unit from the work piece 38 it is only necessary to depress the fingers 32 and apply a rotating force to the nut I2 from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fi 3'. By rotating the nut to the position shown in Fig. 3, the fastener unit may be withdrawn from the aperture 28. It will therefore be apparent that the invention contemplates a very simple preassembled nut and sheet metal retainer which may be attached .and detached with respect to an apertured work piece with a minimum amount of effort.
Fig. 6 discloses a slightly modified form of fastener unit designated generally by the numeral llla. This fastener unit Illa v is similar in all re spects to the fastener unit l8 previously described with the exception of the means for rotatably coupling the nut and retainer which also serves to secure the parts. against axial separation. The retainer member lie of the fastener unit its is provided with an annular flange 38 which is frusto-conical in shape and is designed to be received by a complementary annular recess, extending into the body of the nut l2a. After the flange 38 has been associated with this recess the stock of the nut positioned radially inwardly therefrom is swaged or forced into overlying relationship so as to provide a shoulder [811. Thus the nut and retainer are rotatably coupled and also secured against axial separation. This. type of coupling makes for neat appearance and avoids any protrusion beyond the outer surface of the retainer plate.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the present invention provides a fastener unit of Number simple and practical construction which is adapted to be attached to an apertured work piece or sheet by the simple expediency of relative rotation between the nut and sheet metal retainer after initial insertion within the work aperture. While certain details have been described herein, it will be understood that other modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
The invention is hereby claimed as follows:
1. A fastener unit comprising an apertured sheet metal retainer member including a plate section and a pair of side sections formed integral with andv extending laterally from opposed margins of said plate section, flange members extending'laterally outwardly from the free margins of said side sections of the retainer member for engaging one surface of an apertured work piece, a solid nut member of substantial thickness having major and minor axes, said nut memher on the surface opposite the clamping surface thereof being rotatably coupled with and superimposed hy said plate section, said side sections of the retainer member overlying the periphery of the nut member, said nut. member having a pair of opposed chamfered corners providing clearance to permit rotation of said nut relative to said side sections of said sheet metal retainer memn in one direction to permit the clamping sine of the nut to overlie the surface of a work piece oppositely disposed from the surface engaged by said flange members, and abutment means on said plate section adapted to coact with a side wall said nut member to prevent retrograde rotation thereof relative to said retamer member after the nut has been shifted to fastening position with respect to said apertured work piece.
2. A fastener unit in accordance with claim 1 wherein said abutment means on said plate section consists of a struck out element which is in the path of rotation of the nut member but exposed to prevent retrograde rotation thereof when said nut member is shifted to fastening position.

Future of the BCS
April, 25, 2012
By HornsNation staff | ESPN.com
ESPN.com continues its offseason look at what is happening with the BCS.
In a conference call of all the bloggers, they look at future of the BCS.
Adam Rittenberg looks at how location will affect what the Big Ten does:
The Big Ten's destination dilemma is inherent within the current bowl/BCS system. The big bowl games always have been played in the South and West, and because of the "double-hosting" model, the same holds true for the national championship games. Most Big Ten fans understand the reasons behind this, and have willingly hopped on airplanes every December and traveled far and wide to see their teams play. It's this willingness that has made Big Ten teams so attractive to BCS bowl committees.
But the future postseason structure will bring change. A four-team setup would create two semifinals, which might take place within the current bowl structure, but most likely will not. The semis could take place at on-campus sites belonging to the higher seeds, a plan Delany advocates, or at neutral sites like Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium and Detroit's Ford Field. The Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis? Beats facing LSU in NOLA.
Ted Miller talks about what the Rose Bowl means to the whole equation:
When the BCS power brokers meet in Hollywood, Fla., this week with the intention of transforming the college football postseason, the Rose Bowl must be given special status. Why? If you were to request a list from the sports' cognoscenti on the greatest traditions in college football, most would rate the Rose Bowl No. 1.
David Ubben looked at the Big 12's need to get a championship game again:
Can it survive in college football's new world without a title game?
Expanding to 12 teams is a possibility, but not a necessity for the league to reinstitute a title game. The Big 12 could petition the NCAA and likely bring back the event on the season's final weekend, the same weekend the league hosted from the time it began in 1996 until 2010.
There's little motivation to do so from those who tend most to on-field matters: Coaches. At least one expressed a desire on Monday, though.
There is, of course, more to this discussion. Read the full notebook here.

The many social, environmental and economic benefits that would result from robust resource policies have been recognised by both the European Union and the governments of its member states. For example, by boosting re-use and repair of products, jobs are created while the impacts from mineral and metal extraction, incineration and landfill are avoided. But ambitions for encouraging re-use and repair, and the broader vision of a more resource-efficient and lowerconsuming Europe, appear to be at risk of being abandoned by policy-makers.
This briefing explains the results of an opinion poll conducted by TNS Opinion in 8 countries on behalf of Friends of the Earth Europe. Europeans were asked about their habits and views in relation to locally produced food. The polling found that Europeans see a lot of benefits to buying locally produced food, but that there are problems which currently make it more difficult.

However, with his new album You're Dead! due out October 7th, he's gaining more and more popularity. Oh yeah, and it might have to do with the fact that Kendrick Lamar is featured on his first single from the record, "Never Catch Me." The song's music video just dropped, and it's getting even more viral by the second.

It took about a week to receive the table and the box and contents were perfect. No punctures in the box and no damage to the contents. The table was totally assembled, except for bolting the 4 legs on and that took no time at all. This is a great table for a small area in the kitchen. The two leafs give the table alot of flexibility and are easy to raise and lower. The table is very sturdy without being too bulky. Chairs that are more than 21 inches wide at the front will be a tight fit. We bought two chairs from overstock that are 18 inches wide and that leaves about 4 inches clearance. The fit and finish of the table is excellent.. Would buy it again!!
After only 2 weeks, the extension "locks" broke and I cannot open the leaves up on each side until I install some sort of lock to keep it in place and support it. This was mentioned on Overstock in previous reviews and held true. Disappointed in the qualtiy.
i tried to use this table for eating and it is not sturdy enough to even lean on. i cannot afford to buy another table and have to eat on my lap. overstock should have mention it is not a table you can use daily because it is not strong enough. i won't buy another item from overstock because i cannot trust their descriptions of their items.
Great size for a small space. Nice looking. Leaves are not supported well and sag slightly when extended. In addition, our table was missing a support for one of the leaves.
The table looks good and fits the space nicely - however, one of the leaves doesn't go straight out when extended, but rather dips a bit on the end - and you don't want to put a plate on that without fortifying it from underneath somehow (gotta figure that out before I have company over). Easy to assemble, I will keep it, but need to make sure that leaf is strong enough to support dinner before I do.
Very sturdy, solid wood for a buck thirty! Cant go wrong...looks way better than an MDF with laminate (at a similar price)...Many people complained the leaves weren't strong enough, this may be true if you are using it extended everyday. If that's the case spend more money for a larger table. If you just need it extended every now and then, you cant get a better deal!
Not as stable as I was hoping for :(
The table is poor quality! The sides that raise up are only supported by one small wood piece. Flimsy
Well you get what you pay for. The locking sticks for the leaves were split upon arrival. When extended the leaves can not bear much weight. Be careful and do not lean with your elbows or place heavy items on the extended leaves. The table itself is fine and so far pretty durable. I would not throw your keys on the surface or use it as a desk though.
This table is perfect for a small dining area. Plus with the leaves you can comfortably seat 4.

(AP) German electricity and gas supplier E.ON AG has lowered its earnings forecast for next year because of economic uncertainties and changes in the energy industry.
The reduced forecast comes as the utility, which is based in Duesseldorf, reported a 179 million ($228 million) loss for the third quarter. A year earlier, it made a net profit of 173 million.
Though the company says it's on track to meet its target for this year of underlying net income between 4.1 billion and 4.5 billion, it says it's reviewing its longer-term targets.
E.On says its previous 2013 forecast for underlying net income of 3.2 billion-3.7 billion no longer seems achievable

Arizona Diamondbacks
Baseball needs Puig, even at Parra's expense
We're all reasonable baseball loving adults, right?
It's plain to us that the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig is great for the game. He gets eyeballs on the sport. Gets people talking about baseball�excited about baseball. The only thing I hold against him is that he is a Dodger; other than that he's fantastic for the sport of baseball.
Is it worth it if this attention comes at the expense of one of your own, namely Gerardo Parra?
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports wrote a column Tuesday about the push to get Puig in the All-Star Game despite his limited number of games played. Rosenthal isn't the only one pushing; I heard Colin Cowherd do the same on his show Tuesday.
The establishment -- in the form of Giants manager Bruce Bochy -- is pushing back.
Per Rosenthal, Bochy told SiriusXM radio that as the NL manager for the All-Star Game he'd have a difficult time selecting Puig for the game.
"I couldn't take away from a player who has been here and done it the whole half and been out there grinding every day and he doesn't go," Bochy told SiriusXM. "I couldn't look at that player. I couldn't look at myself, to be honest."
Rosenthal points out that one of the players who, perhaps, would suffer from a Puig selection would be Parra. Would he be the player who doesn't go so Puig can? Hypothetically he could be. So are we Diamondback fans or baseball fans?
In this circumstance, I'm a baseball fan first.
It's a showcase event or at least it should be. Sizzle over steak. A little more of a kegger and a little less of a thesis paper. Why would baseball want to keep the life of the party out of the second biggest bash it throws all year long?
If Parra's hypothetical All-Star bid got wrecked in the process -- and who knows if that happens or not -- well, in baseball, players sacrifice all the time for the greater good. Parra is having a very good season, filled with "did you see that" moments. But Puig has the kind of buzz that baseball needs to put on display. Even I, as a Diamondback fan and Dodger hater, can see that.

By Nigel Slater 08/03 Updated: 14/03 11:40
PLAYTIME is set to become a lot more fun for youngsters in Evesham after a new play area was officially opened.
The new area and open space off Common Road now features climbing equipment, balance beams and stilts and swings for young and older children.
It was built following talks with residents more than 18 months ago when Wychavon District Council bosses asked them what improvements were needed in the area.
The new play area, paid for by the district council, is part of an £80,000 planning agreement which also includes pathways for walkers and trees and shrubs. There also will be meadow flower planting to provide a picturesque summer display.
New car parking space and boundary fencing will also make the area safer for children.
Youngsters from Swan Lane First School joined in with the celebrations and gave the play equipment its first test during a special ceremony held on Friday (March 2).
Lynn Stevens, parks officer at Wychavon District Council said: "We have great parks and open spaces available in Wychavon but it is always exciting to open a new one.
"We hope the residents in the surrounding area will like what we've done with the new meadow and that they will enjoy using the new facilities."

Additional 4G Devices Available to Nonprofits Nationally; Special Expanded Opportunity for Nonprofits in Affected Hurricane Sandy States
NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mobile Beacon (www.mobilebeacon.org), a low-cost, 4G mobile broadband service provider exclusively for nonprofits, is announcing changes to its mobile broadband offering through a TechSoup Global program, TechSoup.org.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120423/DC92532LOGO-b)
Mobile Beacon launched its partnership with TechSoup Global in April 2012 and remains the only mobile broadband service provider to make its devices available through TechSoup's donation program. Initially, nonprofit organizations were able to select one 4G device per fiscal year (July 1st – June 30th). Since the program launched, more than 800 nonprofits have taken advantage of this program.
Starting today, Mobile Beacon is donating up to 11 donated 4G devices per year to qualified 501(c)3 nonprofits, schools, and libraries. Eligible devices include a Wi-Fi modem, a USB modem, and a mobile hotspot.
The new tiered structure still allows nonprofits to request a single donated device and try out Mobile Beacon's 4G service; however, now nonprofits will also be able to apply for an additional 10 donated devices during the same year. Although 4G Internet service is not included as part of the donation, it is available for purchase at a heavily discounted rate of $10/month per device for an unlimited 4G data plan.
Mobile Beacon has further expanded this donation opportunity to nonprofits in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island to help their rebuilding efforts following the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. While nonprofits in these disaster recovery states can request a single donated device, they will also be able to request up to 25 additional donated devices.
"The Mobile Beacon Product Donation Program has far exceeded expectations in its first year, and it has provided much-needed 4G broadband access to nonprofits and public libraries across the U.S.," commented Karen Coppock, TechSoup Global's Vice President, Strategy and Impact.
"Hundreds of these organizations now use cutting-edge technology tools to deliver their social missions more effectively both in and away from the office. The expansion of the Mobile Beacon Donation Program to allow requests of multiple devices will build on the successful first year. Particularly in states impacted by Hurricane Sandy, this program will expand high-speed Internet access when and where it is most needed," she added.
The goal of these programs is to make affordable broadband service available to community anchor institutions so they, in turn, can better serve their communities. Mobile Beacon's service is meant to benefit nonprofits that lack traditional Internet access, have slow access or bandwidth constraints, or who need mobile connectivity outside of the office.
"The large response of new and returning clients from the TechSoup program confirmed that we are providing a much-needed service," said Katherine Messier, Managing Director for Mobile Beacon. "Broadband is the key infrastructure we use to communicate and connect in the digital age. By making mobile access more affordable for nonprofits, we're helping them serve their communities, particularly underserved populations, more effectively."
Messier added, "We are especially grateful to have the opportunity to help nonprofits rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. We hope that both the cost-savings and mobile access will provide a flexible framework for these organizations to continue their missions."
Interested 501(c)(3) nonprofits, schools, and public libraries should visit www.mobilebeacon.org/techsoup for information on how to confirm eligibility and apply for this program.
About Mobile Beacon
Mobile Beacon provides fourth generation (4G) mobile broadband services exclusively to education and nonprofit organizations across the United States. Mobile Beacon was created by a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is one of the largest national educational broadband service (EBS) providers in the country. Through an agreement with Clearwire, Mobile Beacon provides high-speed data services and mobile Internet access to educational and nonprofit organizations. Learn more at http://www.mobilebeacon.org.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

He was the first Canadian to legally break the 10-second barrier in the 100 m. Particularly noted for his top speed, Bailey ran 27.07 mph (12.10 m/s) in his 1996 Olympic title run, the fastest ever recorded at the time.

I think it's great that Gunn finally triumphed over Paly, especially in such a victorious fashion. It's about time that all the garbage about Paly having better sports is put down, after all, Gunn has high the highest amount of overall wins all time in the entire CCS. Go titans! Look for the sweep AT PALY on the 15th

Great location, can walk everywhere, secure building and parking, clean and nicely decorated unit, nice to get phone call a couple of days before arriving to make sure had received email for instructions upon arrival.
We visited for my 50th with 5 Girlfriends. Had the trip of a lifetime. Love Nashville, Location and the Condo. Everyone was happy to help in anyway. We were 1 block off the main drag and felt safe until late into the night walking back to our Apartment.. Can't wait to do it again!
Perfect location to experience downtown Nashville. Walking distance to everything you need.
We returned from our stay in Nashville on Friday and I have already recommended StayAlfred on Trip Advisor and to a friend, who was very jealous of my experience.
The unit was exactly as it appeared online if not better and the building is beautiful!
I was with my 70+ year old mother and we were able to walk everywhere. The Ryman is literally around the corner as is Broadway.
The process and booking was so smooth that I still can't believe our good fortune.
Very nice property in the heart of downtown Nashville. We could see the Ryman Auditorium from our window. Perfect for traveling families with 2 separate bedrooms and a pullout sofa. The kids could stay home and watch movies or play games while the adults went out to hear some music. Although we did not have time to use it, the workout facility looked very nice and with all the equipment. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival even though we arrived a couple of hours early.
Our stay at The Cumberland was fantastic. Nice, well maintained, and secure building. Spacious well appointed apartment with nice views in an excellent location. The concierge staff was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend our stay with Alfred's at The Cumberland.

My son is almost 11 months and still can't sit in his own.. Any suggestions?
Is any one I'm my kind of a situation?
Posted 02/04/2014
Just wanted to add that one of my girls has just recently started sitting on her own at 11 1/2 months, however she does go to physical therapy for low muscle tone. You may want to look into it. Of my twins, she is much better at her other skills than she is with gross motor skills when compared to her sister who is doing fine with gross motor. I really believe every baby is different. But it wouldn't hurt to look into therapy.
Posted 02/04/2014
He couldnt hold his head up till he was 7 months old? That seems alarming to me.... I really think you should call your doctor and talk to him/her about taking your LO to a physical therapist and have them look your LO over and maybe start doing weekly seesions with them, I mean it would only help your LO so you might as well right?

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
01 Sep 2011 15:49 GMT | Politics, Africa, Libya
The NTC's latest offer comes amid massing of troops around the remaining Gaddafi stronghold of Sirte [Reuters]
Libya's ruling National Transitional Council has given one extra week to Muammar Gaddafi loyalists to lay down weapons.
The council, known by its acronym NTC, has extended the deadline for surrender of Gaddafi's last bastion Sirte by one week, Mohammad Zawawi, an NTC spokesman, said on Thursday.
"We are not in a rush to get in to Sirte. It has no economic importance and we are not going to lose casualties for it. We can cut supplies and wait, even more than a week," he said.
The talks come alongside a blockade of supplies to the town, an NTC official said.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdul Hamid, reporting from Nawfalia east of Sirte, said: "This is the consequence of ongoing talks between NTC leaders and tribal leaders in Sirte and another nearby town Harawa.
Live Box 20115613924415945
"The idea is to give time to negotiations which is going on between the tribes in Sirte."
She said some tribal leaders based in Nawfalia and Ben Jawad area have been given the role of negotiating on behalf of the NTC.
"NTC is trying to get some sort of tribal allegiance as it will play very important role in the final outcome in Sirte," our correspondent said.
NTC officials have said they are attempting to convince Gaddafi loyalists in Sirte that the old regime is finished, and that they will be treated fairly if they surrender.
It has warned of an all-out military assault if Gaddafi loyalists do not yield the town, one of the last holdouts after fighters streamed into the capital, Tripoli, last week and ended Gaddafi's 42-year rule.
The rebels said on Tuesday they were ready for the final battle of their more than six-month uprising after their leaders gave Gaddafi's loyalists a Saturday deadline to surrender.
Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the head of the ruling NTC, had said the respite was offered to mark the three-day Eid al-Fitr feast which follows the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
"From Saturday, if no peaceful solution is in sight on the ground, we will resort to military force," Jalil said.
Division within Gaddafi family
The development comes a day after Gaddafi's son Saadi said he had been in contact with the NTC to help negotiate an end to "bloodshed" and that he had his father's blessing to do so.
But in a sign of division within Gaddafi's family, his other son Saif al-Islam vowed to continue resistance.
Live Box 201142012730683527
"We would like to tell our people that we are well and good. The leader [Muammar Gaddafi] is fine. We have more than 20,000 armed youths and we are ready to fight. I tell our men to strike back against the rats," Saif has been quoted as saying on the pro-Gaddafi al-Rai television station.
Libyan fighters said security would be guaranteed for Saadi if he surrendered, AFP news agency reported.
The statements from the Gaddafi sons came as NATO confirmed that it had bombed remaining outposts of Gaddafi's supporters in Libya, targeting their tanks and armoured vehicles as well as military facilities.
The Western military alliance said on Wednesday its jets had bombed Gaddafi forces near Sirte a day earlier.
They also hit targets in the area of Bani Walid, a desert town and a Gaddafi stronghold 150km southeast of the capital, Tripoli.
Gaddafi loyalists are now believed to be limited to three main areas in the country: Bani Walid, Sirte and Sabha.
Sirte, to the east of Tripoli, is the birthplace of Gaddafi and fighters opposed to him are concentrating their efforts to seize the town.
