Electrical connector, electrical connector assembly and electrical equipment
An electrical connector includes a support bracket and a connection terminal. The connection terminal includes a terminal body mounted on the support bracket and in sliding electrical contact with a bus bar extending in a first plane, and a terminal connection portion protruding from a bottom of the terminal body in a first direction parallel to the first plane and electrically connected to a circuit board.
CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION DEVICE
A device for connecting and disconnecting an electrical apparatus by a first line and a second line, the device comprising a first part, carrying at least one first pole belonging to the first line; a second part, carrying at least one second pole belonging to the first line; the first part being movable relative to the second part in a connection and disconnection direction; a movable support guided in movement with respect to the first part, the support carrying at least one first pole belonging to the second line; the second part carrying at least one second pole belonging to the second line; at least one lock for securing the support with respect to the first part; the connection and disconnection device defining a first operating area in which: the at least one first pole belonging to the first line is in contact with the at least one second pole belonging to the first line so as to close the first line, and the at least one first pole belonging to the second line is in contact with the at least one second pole belonging to the second line so as to close the second line, the distance separating the first part from the second part being less than a first threshold; the connection and disconnection device defining a second operating area in which: the at least one first pole belonging to the first line is separated from the at least one second pole belonging to the first line so as to open the first line, and the at least one first pole belonging to the second line is in contact with the at least one second pole belonging to the second line so as to close the second line, the distance separating the first part from the second part being comprised between the first threshold and a second threshold; the connection and disconnection device defining a third operating area in which: the at least one first pole belonging to the first line is separated from the at least one second pole belonging to the first line so as to open the first line, and the at least one first pole belonging to the second line is separated from the at least one second pole belonging to the second line so as to open the second line, the distance separating the first part from the second part being greater than the second threshold; the at least one lock being configured to secure the support and the first part when the distance separating the first part and the second part becomes greater than the second threshold, and to detach the support from the first part when the distance separating the first part and the second part becomes less than or equal to the second threshold.
FURNITURE WITH REMOVABLE ELECTRONICS RACK
A piece of furniture, such as a lectern, has a shell with an opening. A rack for electronic equipment is mounted within the shell. The rack can be slid between a stowed position in which the rack is entirely within the furniture and an access position in which the rack extends through the opening and is partially outside the shell.
Lockers with charging power
In a stack or matrix of lockers, typically in two, three or more tiers or rows and in multiple columns, charge power strips are secured at the back sides of the lockers and exposed through openings in the back walls of the lockers so as to provide line power and also low-voltage DC charging power for smartphones and other portable devices, with a plurality of different charge port fittings provided. The power strips are of a length to extend to two or more lockers and preferably are installed vertically, but could be installed horizontally. The lockers have a protected channel at rear, within which the power strip is installed.
Under Cabinet Mobile Broadband Device Charging and Use System
