Abstract: A connector for a high amperage, AC or DC connection comprises a plug and a receptacle configured to a securely mate and lock with each other. Connector receptacles comprise a locking mechanism having a bottom latch bracket having two slots, a top latch bracket having arcuate grooves and being pivotally coupled to the bottom latch bracket, and a latching rod configured to engage a plug and having guide pins extending through the slots and arcuate grooves. When the top latch bracket is in an unlocked position, the distance between the guide pins is at a maximum. Upon turning the top latch bracket, the guide pins move cooperatively within the arcuate grooves and the distance between the guide pins is minimized and the latching rod securely engages the plug.

Abstract: Removal of a conventional separable insulated connector from an electric power system often results in a shortened electric cable. An extender for a separable insulated connector enables the separable insulated connector to connect to a shortened cable. A conventional cable adapter is inserted into the extender, which includes a conductive connector for accepting the shortened cable and a conductive rod for carrying electric power from the shortened cable to the separable insulated connector. The extender also includes an inner semi-conductive layer that borders the conductive rod and compression connector, an outer semi-conductive layer, and a insulating layer between the two semi-conductive layers. The extender is inserted into a separable insulated connector, which is then connected to the electric power system.

Abstract: An adaptor band is flexible, C-shaped, and includes a torsion spring receiver. Additionally, the adaptor band includes one or more slots for receiving a screw to fasten the adaptor band to an internal surface of a pre-existing light housing. The adaptor band is compressed and inserted within the pre-existing housing that does not have torsion spring receivers already therein. Once inserted, the adaptor band is released, thereby expanding and pushing against the internal surface of the housing. The adaptor band is fastened to the internal surface of the housing without having to hold the adaptor band in a fixed position. The torsion spring receivers receive torsion springs coupled to other lighting components, including light modules and trim modules.

Abstract: A light fixture includes multiple light emitting diode (“LED”) modules. Each LED module includes a substrate on which one or more LED's are disposed. The LED modules can interface with one another in a variety of different configurations including an end-to-end configuration in which adjacent ends of the LED modules interface with one another. When adjacent LED modules interface with one another, there is a substantially continuous array of LED's across the LED modules. For example, one or more rows or alignment patterns of the LED's may continue, substantially uninterrupted, within and across the LED modules. Electrical connectors or other means for powering the LED modules are disposed remote from the interfacing locations. For example, electrical connectors may couple to side ends of the LED modules, away from interfacing ends of the LED modules. Thus, the electrical connectors do not impact the continuity of light across adjacent LED modules.

Abstract translation: 灯具包括多个发光二极管（“LED”）模块。 每个LED模块包括其上设置有一个或多个LED的基板。 LED模块可以以各种不同的配置相互接口，包括端到端配置，其中LED模块的相邻端彼此相接。 当相邻的LED模块相互接口时，LED模块之间有一个基本连续的LED阵列。 例如，LED的一个或多个行或对准图案可以在LED模块内和两个LED模块之间持续，基本上不间断。 用于为LED模块供电的电连接器或其它装置远离接口位置设置。 例如，电连接器可以耦合到LED模块的侧端，远离LED模块的接口端。 因此，电连接器不会影响穿过相邻LED模块的光的连续性。
