    Abstract: A connector assembly includes an electrical plug connectable to an electrical outlet, an inner collar, and an outer collar disposed radially outward from the inner collar. The inner collar includes a plurality of jaws disposed circumferentially about the electrical plug. Each jaw of the plurality of jaws includes threads defined along an outer surface of each jaw. The outer collar includes at least one thread defined along an inner surface of the outer collar. Rotation of the outer collar relative to the inner collar causes the at least one outer collar thread to rotatably engage the inner collar threads and the plurality of jaws to deflect inward such that the plurality of jaws engages and compresses the electrical outlet when the electrical outlet is connected to the electrical plug.

    Abstract: Harness adjustment assemblies for user-worn electrical appliances and connection systems for the same are disclosed. In one aspect, a system includes an electrical appliance including a housing defining a recess, a track removably connected to the housing within the recess, a harness adjustment assembly connected to the housing by the track, and a harness assembly configured to be worn by a user of the electrical appliance to facilitate carrying the electrical appliance. The harness adjustment assembly includes an actuator assembly movable and selectively repositionable along the track. The harness assembly is connected to the actuator assembly such that the harness assembly is selectively repositionable relative to the electrical appliance housing upon actuation of the actuator assembly.

    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a canister defining a debris chamber, a lid mounted to a top of the canister, a debris inlet defined by one of the canister and the lid, and a lid latch rotatably connected to the canister. The lid latch is rotatable between a first position, in which the lid latch is disengaged from the lid, and a second position, in which the lid latch engages the lid to secure the lid to the canister. A bottom of the lid latch is spaced from an exterior surface of the canister to define a handle opening that allows a user to insert their fingers into the handle opening and grip the bottom of the lid latch.
