Abstract: A lamp power assembling structure and method, the lamp power assembling structure is installed indoors and is connected an indoor power source, and includes a lamp power seat and a lamp fixing seat. The lamp power seat has a first power connector for connecting to the indoor power source and two sliding trenches. Each sliding trench has an arced channel and an enlarged hole formed at an end of the arced channel. The lamp fixing seat has a second power connector corresponding to the first power connector and two fasteners separately corresponding to the two enlarged holes. The two fasteners are separately inserted into the two enlarged holes, and the lamp fixing seat is rotated about the first and second power connectors so as to make the two fasteners separately to be engaged with the arced channels to fix the lamp fixing seat to the lamp power seat.

Abstract: Cabling arrangements or associated components can be provided that use plugs and sockets for connection. A locking mechanism can secure a plug in a seated configuration in a socket. A handle may be operable to disengage the locking mechanism, for example, to facilitate removal of the plug from the socket. A tab can be provided that is configured for detachably coupling with the handle. The tab can be configured to detach from the handle in response to a detachment force exerted on the tab that is less than a disengagement force that is sufficient when exerted on the handle to disengage the locking mechanism.

Abstract: A utility strap with embedded serial bus wires is provided. The utility strap is comprised of a flexible elongated strap member with each of the first and second ends having at least one of a ring, hook-and-loop fastening system, button hole, loop, grommet, and a carabiner. Serial bus wires are incorporated within said strap along a significant portion of the length of the strap, said wires forming a serial bus cable with exposed serial bus connectors for providing an electrical connection between two computer devices, peripherals, or other similar electronic devices.

Abstract: A power cord apparatus for remotely detecting excessive operational parameters in an alternating current (AC) powered machine (e.g., dehumidifiers, air conditioners, refrigerators, and Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines) is provided. The power cord apparatus includes a cooperative remote parametric sensing device (e.g., heat sensing, vibration transducer) in the vicinity of the electrically powered machine.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for protecting a cable from damage and holding the cable in position with respect to an opening in a machine deck can include a first body portion with a first channel portion configured to receive a cable, a second body portion with a second channel portion configured to receive the cable, a hinge connecting the first and second body portions, and one or more flange portions connected to the first and/or second body portions and configured to support the body portions on a surface of a machine deck such that the cable is positioned at a predetermined angle. The first and second body portions can be pivotable with respect to one another about the hinge between a closed position in which the first and second channel portions can be substantially aligned and an open position in which the channel portions can be separated from each other.

Abstract: By providing two integrated components, an outer housing and an inner sleeve member, with the inner sleeve member being securely mounted to the outer housing in a manner which prevents its separation from the housing, an efficient, easily manufactured and assembled cable connector is realized. In the preferred embodiment, the inner sleeve member is press fitted into the housing in order to provide the desired secure, integrated affixation of these components. Furthermore, the inner sleeve member is constructed in a generally hollow cylindrical shape with at least two arm members integrally formed therewith, each of which angularly slopes inwardly from the cylindrical wall of the sleeve member, and comprises a distal end portion which is angularly disposed relative to the arm member in at least one direction and preferably in two directions.

Abstract: A connecting structure for a portable electronic device cord comprises a substantially arc-shaped binding member having an outwardly convex surface projecting toward the interior of the device case from an opening in the case through which the cord passes, the binding member forming an integrated single unit with an interior wall of the case. The cord, one end of which is secured to a board within the device, is wrapped around the surface of the arc-shaped binding member and thereby bent at substantially a right angle as it extends through the binding member by which it is securely held and out the case opening. By firmly securing the cord to the case in this fashion the need for an external bush is eliminated and the cord can be wrapped snugly around the device without bending at sharp angles, thus increasing ease of transport and reducing the possibility of the cord breaking loose from the device.

Abstract: A grounding contact member for electrically connecting cooperating metal shells in a coupling comprises a metal band divided along both edges into several spring contact fingers that are bent inwardly into two U-shape portions. The contact member is located in an annular recess around the inside of a coupling ring with the fingers at one end engaging the metal shell on which the coupling ring is mounted and the fingers at the other end engaging the other metal shell to which the coupling ring is connected.

Abstract: Breakable electric contact device of the type comprising two conducting strips (3, 4) between which an electric contact can be made using a conducting piece (5) in the form of a moving blade, at least one of the faces of which is intended to come into contact with the conducting strips. Furthermore the device comprises two cleaning strips (7, 8) which, located in front of the conducting strips (3, 4) in the direction of travel of the moving blade (5) toward the contact-closed position, are intended to scrape at least the region of each face of the moving blade (5) that is intended to press against a conducting strip (3, 4).

Abstract: An electrical contact is configured such that a root portion 36a of a contact portion 36 extending from an anchoring portion 37, which is press-fit into a fitting slot 41 provided in a receptacle housing 31, is positioned below a reference line M which interconnects the upper ends of the lateral side ends of the anchoring portion 37 which meet the fitting slots 41. In this configuration, the distance L from the root portion 36a of the contact portion 36 to the point of contact C, which meets an intermatable contact 16, is made relatively long to make the resiliency of the contact portion 36 relatively small.

Abstract: An overhead wiring system for use in the suspended ceiling of a clean room includes a generally rectangular housing with closed top, side and end walls and a substantially open bottom. A plurality of movable panels are provided in the bottom to close the bottom wall, one or more of the panels having openings through which a power cord can pass. A barrier within the housing divides its interior into a wiring chamber and a power cord chamber, the wiring chamber having a terminal strip connectable with wires from an external conduit. A power cord is connected to the terminal strip, through the barrier and through one of the panels with a stress-relieving cord grip in each of the pass-through locations. The housing is supporting so as to be substantially coplanar with a suspended ceiling and without exerting stress on the ceiling.
