发明名称 Docking module enclosure including connectors and power switching
摘要 An enclosure is provided for mounting a bed monitoring docking module on a bed frame structure. The enclosure has an elongated sleeve-like housing with an interior cross-section substantially complimentary to the outer cross-section of the docking module. The docking module is slidably insertable into and removable from a supported position within the sleeve-like housing through an open forward end of the housing. A connector housing mounted within a back end of the sleeve-like housing contains enclosure power, control and sensor connectors which are matable with respective externally accessible docking module and sensor mat connectors. The connector housing has an aperture through a wall thereof for mounting the enclosure sensor connector for interfacing with the mat sensor connector and a pair of apertures through a forward wall thereof for mounting the enclosure power and control connectors in alignment for interfacing with the docking module power and control connectors as the module is inserted into the sleeve-like housing. The forward wall of the connector housing is contoured to position the enclosure power and control connectors such that, during insertion and removal, the control interface is connected before the power interface and the power interface is disconnected before the control interface, respectively.
