    摘要: A connector includes a cable tray configured to receive and retain a cable in a stable position and couple with a top cap configured to create an electrical connection with the cable as the top cap is manipulated in a predetermined manner while coupled with the cable tray. An upper surface of the cable tray is configured to receive the cable. The cable tray also includes a finger extending beyond the first end for some distance longitudinally. The finger includes a protrusion that protrudes to some extent in a transverse direction so that a cable-accommodating gap is defined between the protrusion and the first end. The protrusion is configured to bear against the cable and retain the cable in the stable position when the cable is inserted between the protrusion and the first end (before, during and/or after an electrical connection is established).

    摘要: A system for mounting an electrically-powered device such as a ceiling fan or other mounted fixture to supporting structure is disclosed. The system includes a mounting bracket having a receiving portion with a first electrical connector and a hangable structure with a mating member configured to be positioned against the receiving portion. The hangable structure includes a second electrical connector configured to become engaged with the first electrical connector as the hangable structure is moved downwardly into position to rest in proper alignment against the receiving portion. Positioning and alignment is accomplished without further manipulation of the hangable structure after engagement of the first and second electrical connectors. This system allows easier installation of the device by preventing gravity-influenced disengagement of the hangable structure from the mounting bracket once the electrical connection is established.
