    摘要: This disclosure relates generally to coupling a furniture accessory to a furniture apparatus. One embodiment provides a method of electrically coupling at least one electrical contact on a furniture accessory to at least one electrical contact on a furniture apparatus. The method may comprise positioning a portion of an elongate body, coupled to the furniture apparatus, in a space between at least two retaining bodies of a retainer coupled to the furniture accessory such that the at least two retaining bodies contact an exterior surface of the elongate body on at least the portion of the elongate body and retain at least the portion of the elongate body in the space. Positioning the portion of the elongate body in the space may comprise electrically coupling at least one electrical contact of the furniture accessory with at least one electrical contact of the furniture apparatus.

    摘要: A vehicular electrical plug or connector is provided. In another aspect, an electrical connector includes a wire cable having a first end that is permanently connected to a wheeled recreational vehicle, a second end with an outlet-engageable plug thereon, and a switch allowing for a high potential or dielectric withstand test by the vehicle manufacturer in one switch condition, and then the switch allowing for normal use while detecting and/or alerting a user of an electrical ground and/or polarity problem in another switch condition. A further aspect of an electrical connector employs multiple lights on a plug, one of which alerts a user of an electrical ground and/or polarity problem, and another of which is illuminated when electricity is flowing through the plug. Another aspect of a vehicular electrical plug and method of manufacturing same, includes liquid polyurethane fed into a hole in a plug housing which then fills the otherwise open area therein to create a water-resistant seal for the plug.

    摘要: A method for attaching a contact element to the end of an electrical conductor is specified, by which electrically conductive material which is present at the end of the conductor and is fixedly connected to the conductor is shaped to form a contact element with a variable shape. The end of the bare conductor is firstly moved into an at least approximately vertical position. Particles of an electrically conductive material are then applied at such a high speed to the upwardly projecting front-side end of the conductor in the axial direction thereof that the material of the conductor connects to the electrically conductive material to form a compact structure which is connected to the material of the conductor in a mechanically fixed and electrically conductive fashion. In order to form a metal body without interrupting the method, further particles of the electrically conductive material are subsequently applied to the compact structure, and the metal body is finally shaped mechanically to form the contact element.
