Abstract
A support base includes a connector hub having a top end, a bottom end spaced apart from the top end, and a chamber wall extending between the top and bottom ends. The chamber wall defines a chamber within the connector hub. A power interface set may be positioned in the chamber. The power interface set is dimensioned such that an annular support gap is formed between the power interface set and the chamber wall. A cover plate may be coupled to the top end of the connector hub.
Claims19
A support base, comprising:
- a connector hub having a top end, a bottom end spaced apart from the top end, and a chamber wall extending between the top end and the bottom end and defining a chamber;
- a flange radially extending from the top end of the connector hub;
- a baffle positioned in a flange groove formed in an upper surface of the flange;
- a baffle spring positioned between the baffle and a flange groove wall of the flange, the baffle spring being moveable between an uncompressed state and a compressed state;
- and
- a power interface set positioned in the chamber, wherein a maximum outer diameter of the power interface set is less than an inner diameter of the chamber such that an annular support gap is defined between the power interface set and the chamber wall.
A support base assembly, comprising:
- a support base comprising:
- a connector hub having a top end, a bottom end spaced apart from the top end, and a chamber wall extending between the top end and the bottom end and defining a chamber;
- a flange radially extending from the top end of the connector hub;
- a baffle positioned in a flange groove formed in an upper surface of the flange;
- a baffle spring positioned between the baffle and a flange groove wall of the flange, the baffle spring being moveable between an uncompressed state and a compressed state;
- a cover plate coupled to a top end of the connector hub, the cover plate having a cover plate hole axially aligned with the chamber;
- and
- a power interface set positioned in the chamber and including a connector adjacent the cover plate hole.
A method of assembling an electrical accessory and a support base, comprising:
- inserting a tube of the electrical accessory into an annular support slot of the support base,
- wherein the support base comprises a connector hub comprising a chamber wall that defines a chamber of the connector hub, and the annular support slot is defined between a power interface set and the chamber wall;
- moving a baffle from a first position away from the chamber wall to a second position nearer the chamber wall, in the annular support slot, by compressing a baffle spring, wherein the baffle spring is positioned between the baffle and a flange;
- and
- contacting a connector of an accessory electrical interface housed in the tube with a corresponding connector of the power interface set to electrically connect the power interface set to the accessory electrical interface.
