Abstract
An electro-mechanical connection apparatus. The apparatus includes a connection base configured to mechanically support an external device, and a first connection device operably connected to the connection base, wherein the first connection device is configured to operably connect with a second connection device associated with the external device. The first connection device includes a first electrical contact configured to establish an electrical connection with a second electrical contact of the external device, wherein the first electrical contact establishes the electrical connection with the second electrical contact while the connection base mechanically supports the external device.
Claims17
An electro-mechanical connection apparatus comprising:
- a base configured to mechanically support an external device, wherein the external device includes a device connector;
- and
- a base connector operably connected to the base, wherein the base connector is configured to operably connect with a device connector associated with the external device and includes:
- a retention mechanism to removably secure the device connector to the base connector regardless of orientation of the apparatus and release the device connector from the base connector upon being subjected to a sufficient force, and
- a first electrical contact configured to establish an electrical connection with a second electrical contact of the external device, wherein the first electrical contact establishes the electrical connection with the second electrical contact while the base mechanically supports the external device.
