Abstract: A compressor plug cap assembly includes a compressor plug and a fence member. The compressor plug has a first plug side face and an opposing second plug side face, the first plug side face configured for operative association with a compressor. The fence member substantially surrounds and is operatively connected to the compressor plug. The fence member is mounted relative to the compressor plug so as to substantially coextend with the first plug side face and to extend beyond the second plug side face. The fence member has a top fence side and a bottom fence side, each of the top fence side and the bottom fence side being substantially open.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a rail having a plurality of apertures therethrough, and two electrical connectors including a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector, the first electrical connector detachably mateable to the second electrical connector, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector removably connected to the rail, at least one of the two electrical connectors being routed through at least one of the plurality of apertures.

Abstract: A connector system, including two electrical connectors configured to mate together; one electrical connector containing a magnetic flux responsive device configured for generating an electrical signal; the other electrical connector containing a magnet which is located in association with the magnetic flux responsive device when the two electrical connectors are mated together.

Abstract: An electrical tubing assembly includes an electrical tubing having a non-smooth outer surface. A grommet has an outer periphery, an annular groove in the outer periphery, and an inner surface. The inner surface is in continuous and intimate physical contact with the outer surface of the tubing.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp holder assembly is adapted to receive various injection molded end cap structures allowing the fluorescent lamp holder assembly to have several embodiments, including watertight embodiments. The fluorescent lamp holder assembly may be disposable or may allow replacement of the fluorescent lamp, with the replacement style being watertight. The fluorescent lamp holder assembly generally includes a fluorescent lamp surrounded by a protective sleeve. A first end cap covers a first end of the lamp and sleeve, while a second end cap structure comprising a power connector cap and tube power connector cap covers a second end of the lamp and sleeve. In one embodiment, the protective sleeve is a structure that includes inner and outer co-axial tubes with a plurality of spacers or creases therebetween and/or therein defining a plurality of chambers defining a plurality of air pockets. The air pockets provide insulation for assisting in cold starting of the fluorescent lamp.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for providing simple and effective attachment of a lamp holder base to a mounting plate includes providing in the mounting plate an opening having a wide opening portion and a relatively narrower opening portion, which together define at least one mounting tab of the mounting plate, the mounting plate further having an outer surface and a latch edge portion; providing on the lamp holder base an elongated body and a latch member, the elongated body including at least one mounting channel having a base surface and an inclined surface which define a first channel opening and a second channel opening, the inclined surface terminating at the first channel opening to define a pivot edge, the latch member including a latch surface region; inserting the elongated body in the wide opening portion until a cross section of the mounting plate is generally aligned with one of the first channel opening and the second channel opening; moving the mounting plate in a direction such that the at least one m

Abstract: A lamp holder carries a fluorescent lamp which includes first and second contact pins, with each contact pin having a diameter. The lamp holder includes a socket having a pair of walls defining a clearance distance therebetween which is at all times greater than the diameter of the contact pins. The walls define a slot therebetween, the slot configured for receiving the contact pins therein. At least one of the walls has a first notch for receiving the first contact pin therein. The lamp holder also includes an electrically conductive terminal associated with the slot for providing power to the second contact pin. The terminal is configured for melting when being an electrode of an electric arc discharge, thereby discontinuing the electric arc discharge.
