MODULAR WIRING SYSTEM WITH LOCKING ELEMENTS

摘要

A modular wiring system comprising a functional unit and a wiring unit. T here is also a system for coupling the functional unit to the wiring unit in a rotational manner. This system is formed from at least one locking prong comprising electrically conductive material. When the functional unit is cou pled to the wiring unit, the locking prong is both electrically and physical ly coupled to the functional unit. Alternatively, or in addition, the system for coupling the functional unit to the wiring unit in a rotational manner can include at least one flange coupled to the functional unit and at least one flange coupled to the wiring unit. These flanges operate such that when the functional unit and the wiring unit are coupled together, they are rotat ed to form a locking connection between the flange on the functional unit an d the flange on the wiring unit.
