Patent ID: 8221182

Claim:
A quick connect electro-mechanical system, comprising: a plurality of interconnectable components having a housing wherein the housing has an interior and an exterior and wherein the interconnectable components have electrically conductive surfaces and non-electrically conductive surfaces and wherein a circuit is formed by electrically connecting at least two of the interconnectable components; a snap-fitting mechanical connector system having a male and female component wherein the male snap-fitting mechanical connector extends outward from the interconnectable component and wherein the male snap-fitting mechanical connector has a shaft portion having a first end and a second end and wherein a head portion having a circumference greater than a circumference of the shaft portion is located at the first end and wherein the snap-fitting mechanical connector is located on a first end of the housing with non-electrically conductive surfaces but containing an electrical conductive element wherein the male snap-fitting mechanical connector connects a first interconnectable component to a second interconnectable component and wherein an opening in the female snap-fitting mechanical connector of the second component exposes an electrically conductive contact surface capable of forming a circuit with the male snap-fitting mechanical connector; and wherein the snap-fitting mechanical connector of the first interconnectable component allows the first interconnectable component to mechanically and electrically connect along an x-axis, a y-axis or z-axis with respect to the second interconnectable component wherein each of the axes is approximately ninety degrees with respect to each other.
