Abstract:
In combination:first and second electrical buses carrying electrical signals; anda bus interconnect for electrically connecting said first and second electrical buses to one another so that said electrical signals can be transmitted therebetween, said bus interconnect including:a bus connector having a series of electrical contacts to be electrically connected to said first electrical bus,a housing,first and second signal paths for transmitting said electrical signals between said first and second electrical buses, said first signal path connected between the electrical contacts of said bus connector and said housing and said second signal path connected between said housing and said second electrical bus, said housing having electrical circuitry for controlling said electrical signals transmitted between said first and second electrical buses via said first and second signal paths, andat least a first arm having first and second ends, said first end pivotally connected to said housing and said second end connected to said bus connector, whereby said arm is rotatable relative to said housing in response to a pushing force generated when said bus connector is electrically connected to said first electrical bus so that the position of the electrical contacts of said bus connector is adjustable relative to the location of said first electrical bus.
