Abstract: An electronic connector includes a rigid central region and at least one branch that extends away from the rigid central region. A flexible part is disposed at one end of the at least one branch and adjacent to the rigid central region. A conductor terminal is located at an opposing end of the at least one branch. A rigid part is disposed between the flexible part and the conductor terminal. At least one flexible element is disposed adjacent to one surface of the flexible part. The flexible part of the at least one branch and the at least one flexible element combine to permit the at least one branch to be both (i) sufficiently flexible to permit the at least one branch to be bent, and (ii) sufficiently rigid to permit the at least one branch to subsequently return to its original shape.

Abstract: A bracket mounts a device to any of plural surfaces at any of a plural orientations. A platform part has a mounting surface to support the device. An end part is located at one end of the platform part. The end part has openings to receive threaded screws by which the end part is fastened to a first external surface when in a first orientation. The mounting surface has openings to receive threaded screws by which the platform part is alternatively fastened to a second external surface when in a second orientation. A guide slot in the mounting surface has an open end that faces away from the end part. The guide slot, when the bracket is in the second orientation, receives through the open end a knob secured to the device, guides the knob as the device is moved, and retains the knob to hold the device.
