Abstract: An adapter molded of plastic, for mounting a fiber optic cable connector on an opening in a panel, the adapter having, when installed on the panel, a surface disposed at an angle of approximately 30° to the panel, said surface having at least one aperture for receiving an optical fiber connector assembly, and a plurality of snap feet depending in such locations and so dimensioned as to be usable to secure the adapter in a suitably sized and configured aperture in a panel.

Abstract: A smoke/fire detector assembly having a base section with electrical contacts and a removable/attachable sensor section having corresponding electrical contacts. Each one of the electrical contacts is adapted to electrically contact a corresponding one of the base section electrical contacts. Each one of the electrical contacts has a threaded hole formed therein to receive an electrical contact screw. The hole has a projecting rim disposed about a peripheral portion. The base section has a plurality of recessed pocket formed therein for a corresponding one of the plurality of base section electrical contacts. Each one of the pockets has a pair of opposing sidewalls, a platform, and a resilient tongue-like member protruding into a region between the opposing sidewalls. Upper surfaces of the platform and the tongue-like member are disposed in a common plane spaced from the bottom portions of the sidewalls to provide a channel therebetween.

Abstract: A smoke/fire detector assembly having a base section and a removable sensor section. The base section includes a plurality of electrical contacts and the sensor section includes a corresponding plurality of electrical contacts. Each one of the sensor section electrical contacts includes a member having a first end, extending from the sensor section, and a second end electrically connected to electrical components within the sensor section. Each one of the base section electrical contacts has: a first section having a surface adapted for mounting to a surface of the base section; a second section, having an edge common with the first section and a surface extending perpendicular to the surface of the first section; and, a pair of finger-like members, extending from a second edge of the second section. The second edge of the second section is perpendicular to the common edge. The finger-like members are laterally spaced along, and cantilevered from, the second edge of the second section.
