    摘要: Lockable connection assemblies including lockable connection components are described. A lockable connection assembly may include an assembly for connecting components in an electrical or communication system, such as a fiber optic communication network. The lockable connection assemblies may include a connector (for example, a plug) and an adapter configured to be connected together, for example, using a bayonet-type connection. The components of the lockable connection assemblies may include elements configured to prevent the connector from unintentionally disconnecting from the adapter. For instance, the connector may include a locking nut configured to engage and lock a coupling nut connected to the adapter from rotating and disconnecting from the adapter. In another instance, the connector may include a coupling nut having finger flanges arranged at one end thereof and configured to engage a non-rotatable connector body when connected to the adapter to prevent the unintentional movement of the coupling nut.

    摘要: A railcar power connector includes a connector body defining a central opening configured to receive a portion of a cable, and a spring member having a protrusion moveable relative to the connector body between a locked position where the protrusion is configured to be secured to a mating connector and a released position where the protrusion is configured to be released from a corresponding recess of a mating connector. The protrusion moveable from the locked position to the released position upon a predetermined axial force applied to the spring member.

    摘要: A light fitting comprising: a first part for connecting to a surface, the first part comprising: a first electrical connector; and a first mechanical connector; a second part for connecting to a light, the second part comprising: an electrical interface configured to be releasably coupled to a power circuit for a light; and a second electrical connector, the second electrical connector being arranged to be electrically connected to the electrical interface for supplying power to the light; and a second mechanical connector arranged to releasably engage the first mechanical connector. The first electrical connector and second electrical connector are arranged to engage to provide an electrical connection between the first and second parts as the first and second mechanical connectors engage. The light fitting is arranged such that an electrical connection between the first and second parts can be provided when the second part is at any of a plurality of positions relative to the first part.

    摘要: A junction box is disclosed. The junction box is made of a body member defining a first port and a second port, the first port adapted to receive a first portion of a first downhole tool, and the second port adapted to receive a second portion of a second downhole tool, the body member defining an electric chamber intersecting the first port and the second port within the body member; a first mechanical connection on the first port for securing the first downhole tool; a second mechanical connection on the second port for securing the second downhole tool; a first electric connector installed on the first port; a second electric connector installed on the second port; and electric wiring positioned within the electric chamber and connected to the first electric connector and the second electric connector to couple the first electric connector and the second electric connector.
