BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0019] The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
[0020] FIGs. 1A-1C illustrate exemplary representations of conventional rear holder to be engaged with brackets of the junction box.
[0021] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary representation of a proposed rear holder in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0022] FIGs. 3A and 3B illustrate exemplary representations of insertion of the rear holder in the brackets of junction box, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
[0024] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a rear holder configured to connect with the brackets. The rear holder may include one or more locking arms engaged with the brackets through a locking mechanism. The locking arms include locking projections configurable with connecting portions of the brackets. The locking projections of the proposed rear holder provides guideways to access the rear holder in the junction box. Thus, with the locking projections, the proposed rear holder can be easily disassembled and assembled with brackets of the junction box.
[0025] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary representation of a proposed rear holder in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the rear holder 200 may include locking arms 201 and a central element 202. Each of the locking arms 201 may include an upper end and a lower end. The lower end may include locking projection 201-2 whose width is smaller compared to the width of the upper end 201-1 to allow easy insertion of the rear holder in the brackets of the junction box. The lower end of the locking arms also provides guideways to allow assembling and disassembling of the rear holder with the brackets.
[0026] FIGs. 3A and 3B illustrate exemplary representations of insertion of the rear holder 200 in the brackets 300 of junction box, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. As the lower end has a smaller width compared to the upper end, the lower end 201-2 of the locking arms 201 may be easily inserted in the connecting portions of the brackets 300, where the connecting portions are defined as a gap in rear portion of the brackets where the rear holder can be inserted. In particular, the locking projections 201-2 may be inserted in the connecting portions so as to move the rear holder in a complete locked position together with the connecting terminals 301. When the rear holder 102 is situated at a provisional locking position with respect to the brackets in which the locking arm is inserted halfway, the connecting terminal 301 that remained to be resilient are bent outwardly. Then, the rear holder is further inserted to obtain a complete locked position. In this manner, connecting terminals 301 contained in the brackets 300 are locked by the rear holder 200 which is engaged with a rear portion of the brackets. Thus, the locking arms 201 facilitates locking of the rear holder 200 with the brackets 300.
[0027] The present disclosure provides an improved rear holder that can be easily configured with the bracket of junction box. The rear holder is provided with locking arms having locking projection to allow easy insertion of the rear holder in the brackets and get locked with each other. In addition, the locking projection also provides guide ways to enable a user to assemble and disassemble the rear holder with the brackets.
[0028] The proposed rear holder 100 may be used with different types of brackets irrespective of their configuration as it overcomes any possibility of creating hindrance in access to rear holder in junction box while assembling and disassembling.
[0029] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
