Abstract:
1. A power connection system for a powered device, comprising: a retrofit body having a housing defining a recess and a first electrical conductor and at least a second electrical conductor, the first and at least second electrical conductors extending outside the retrofit body; a first arcuate electrical contact member extending into the recess and at least a second arcuate electrical contact member extending into the recess, the first and at least second arcuate electrical contact members connected to the first electrical conductor and the at least second electrical conductor, respectively; a pivotal joint located proximate the first arcuate electrical contact member; and a power delivery head, the power delivery head having a third arcuate electrical contact member and at least a fourth arcuate electrical contact member the third and at least a fourth arcuate electrical members coupled to a power source and removably mateable with the first and at least second electrical contact members, respectively, the power delivery head further having pivot pin located proximate the third arcuate electrical contact member; wherein the retrofit body is coupled to the power delivery head with the pivotal joint and the pivot pin such that the removable mating of the first and at least second arcuate electrical contact members with the third and at least fourth arcuate electrical contact members, respectively, causes the first arcuate electrical contact member to mate with the third arcuate electrical contact member first when coupling the retrofit body to the power delivery head and the first arcuate electrical contact member to disconnect from the third arcuate electrical contact member last when decoupling the retrofit body and the power delivery head.
