| 20120231642 | CABLE SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED ADAPTOR - A power cable or data cable system includes an integrated electrical connection adaptor configured to be mechanically coupled to the cable system when not in use. The adaptor is coupled to the cable system using clasping features formed in the body of the adaptor or a tethering element. Thus, the adaptor is conveniently located for use and cannot be lost. In some embodiments, the tethering element serves as a cable management system that enhances portability of the cable system by bundling loops of the cable system together. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20140134856 | POWER-TRACK ADAPTER - An adapter for use with a U-section longitudinally extending power track has a base adapted to fit in the slot and a head adapted to fit outside the slot on the track so that an electrical device can be connected via the adapter to the conductors in the track. A first operating shaft extending along and pivotal about an axis in the housing carries contact fingers pivotal on rotation of the first shaft between a retracted position recessed in the base and a contacting position projecting from the base and, when the base is fitted to the slot, engaging the conductors. A second operating shaft extends along and pivotal about the axis in the housing. A second switch assembly connected to the second shaft and operable thereby on rotation of the second operating shaft to connect and disconnect the contact fingers with phase contacts on the housing. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140308829 | TRACK TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND TRACK TRANSMISSION DEVICE THEREOF - The present disclosure provides a track transmission system and the track transmission device thereof. The track transmission system comprises at least a track transmission device, a connecting device, and a control device. The track transmission device is provided for disposing slidably at least an electronic device. In addition, signal transmission with the control device can be accomplished through the connecting device. The electronic device is coupled to the circuit board of the track transmission device by contacting. As the electronic device slides along the track transmission device, signal transmission with the control device still can be maintained. | 10-16-2014 |
| 20140335708 | Connection Apparatus Connectable With Neutral Bus - An improved connection apparatus is connectable with an elongated neutral bus to electrically connect a neutral conductor to the neutral bus. The connection apparatus is movable among any of a variety of positions along the neutral bus in order to facilitate connection of the various neutral conductors with the neutral bus at various desirable locations within an electrical enclosure. The connection apparatus is also advantageously removable from the neutral bus and is reinstallable thereon to facilitate changing the locations of the connections between the neutral conductors and the neutral bus and to avoid interference between any of a neutral connection, a connection apparatus, a neutral bus, and a circuit interrupter. | 11-13-2014 |
