Abstract
According to examples, an apparatus may include a housing having a bay, the bay having a surface opening. The apparatus may also include a connector attached to the housing and a first jaw movably positioned in the bay, the first jaw having a threaded through hole. The apparatus may further have a threaded fastener extending through the surface opening and threadably engaging the threaded through hole, in which rotation of the threaded fastener is to cause the first jaw to move linearly in the bay to removably lock the connector to a port.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a bay, the bay having a surface opening;
- a connector attached to the housing;
- a first jaw movably positioned in the bay, the first jaw having a threaded through hole;
- and
- a threaded fastener extending through the surface opening and threadably engaging the threaded through hole, wherein rotation of the threaded fastener is to cause the first jaw to move linearly in the bay to removably lock the connector to a port.
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a first jaw and a second jaw disposed opposite to each other in the housing, the first jaw having a first threaded through hole and the second jaw having a second threaded through hole;
- a first threaded fastener engaged with the first jaw through the first threaded through hole, wherein rotation of the first threaded fastener transposes the first jaw with respect to the second jaw;
- and
- a second threaded fastener engaged with the second jaw through the second threaded through hole, wherein rotation of the second threaded fastener transposes the second jaw with respect to the first jaw.
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a bay;
- a first jaw disposed in the bay, the first jaw having a first threaded through hole;
- a second jaw having a second threaded through hole, the threads in the second threaded through hole being directed in an opposite thread direction from the first threaded through hole;
- and
- a threaded fastener threadably engaging the first threaded through hole and the second threaded through hole, wherein rotation of the threaded fastener in a first direction is to cause the first jaw and the second jaw to move away from each other and rotation of the threaded fastener in a second direction is to cause the first jaw and the second jaw to move toward each other.
