  • Patent number: 10342346
    Abstract: A universal connector bracket including a bracket body, a first mounting feature defined by the bracket body, and a second mounting feature defined by the bracket body and distinct from the first mounting feature. The first mounting feature is structured and arranged to engage a horizontal support of a storage system. The second mounting feature is structured and arranged to engage a vertical support of a storage system. As such, the universal connector bracket can be coupled to one of the vertical or horizontal support, or can be coupled to both the vertical and horizontal support at the same time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8123547
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a plug and a socket. The plug includes at least one conductive pin, at least one first electrical conductor coupled to the at least one conductive pin, and a base portion and a column portion. The column portion extends from the base portion and defines at least one slot along a length of the column portion. The column portion is constructed of a compliant material and includes at least one opening that extends through the base portion. The openings and slots are aligned such that the at least one conductive pin extends through the at least one opening and is received in the at least one slot. The socket has an inner surface and includes at least one second electrical conductor that extends through the socket, and holds the plug. When the plug is received by the socket, an interference fit is formed and maintained as between the second electrical conductor and the conductive pin. The base portion of the plug and the inner surface of the socket are engaged to create a seal.
