Claim Text:
1. A connector system, comprising: a first connector body defining a channel between a longitudinally-oriented fixed wall and a longitudinally-oriented flexible beam located opposite and generally parallel to the fixed wall when in a relaxed state, wherein a distal beam surface of the flexible beam defines a first protrusion having a first inclined surface; a second connector body defining a cavity configured to receive the first connector body, wherein a mesial cavity surface of the cavity defines a second protrusion having a second inclined surface that is configured to abut and engage the first inclined surface when the first connector body is disposed within the cavity of the second connector body; and a member configured to be inserted within the channel and, when inserted into the channel, causes the flexible beam to flex laterally and move the first inclined surface with respect to the second inclined surface sufficient to generate a longitudinal force between the first and second inclined surfaces.
