Abstract

A shelf system and a label LED strip lamp includes a shelf and a label LED strip lamp. Each of at least one carrier element includes a body, and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a clamping slot and a catch plate provided on the clamping slot. The label LED strip lamp includes a snap assembly for engagement with the catch plate, and a lamp tube. The snap assembly includes a connecting edge, a set of clamping tooth disposed on one side of the connecting edge, and a wavy-shaped engaging edge spaced from the clamping tooth. The clamping tooth inserts into the clamping slot. The lamp tube includes a non-transparent edge, an upper light transmitting edge connecting the non-transparent edge with the catch plate, and a lower light transmitting edge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical supply, comprising:
a bottom cover;
a top cover mounted on the bottom cover, the top cover comprising a row of positive collector holes and a row of negative collector holes spaced apart from the positive collector holes, the positive holes comprising a first positive hole and a second positive hole spaced apart from the first negative hole, the negative collector holes comprising a first negative hole and a second negative hole spaced apart from the first negative hole, the positive and negative collector hole being slots; and
a positive electric contact and a negative electric contact, the positive electric contact comprising a first positive free end and a second positive free end, the first and second positive free ends being inserted through the first and second positive holes, the negative electric contact comprising a first negative free end and a second negative free end, the first and second negative free ends being inserted through the first and second negative holes, a chord length of the positive electric contact being less than a maximum distance between the first and second positive holes of the positive collector hole, a chord length of the negative electric contact being less than a maximum distance between the first and second negative holes of the negative collector hole, when the first positive free end of the positive electric contact moves towards the top cover, the second positive free end of the positive electric contact moves away from the top cover, when the first negative free end of the negative electric contact moves towards the top cover, the second negative free end of the positive electric contact moves away from the top cover.

2. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 1 , wherein middle sections of the positive and negative power contacts are abutted against the bottom cover.

3. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 1 , wherein the positive and negative power contacts are arc-shaped groove, and two slots are opened on the bottom cover and are configured for receiving the positive and negative collector respectively, and portions where the positive and negative power contacts are in contact with the bottom cover are received in the slots.

4. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 3 , wherein the slots are through holes, and the portions where the positive and negative power contacts are in contact with the slots are arc-shaped surface.

5. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 3 , wherein the electrical supply further includes a sandwich plate arranged between the bottom cover and the top cover, and the sandwich plate includes two through holes which are configured for respectively crossing through the positive and negative power contacts, an electrical contact is disposed on each of the two through holes so as to electrically connect to the positive and negative collector respectively.

6. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 3 , wherein each of the free ends of the positive and negative collector include a curling portions and the curling portions are curved outward of the positive and negative power contacts, the bottom cover includes four through holes for receiving the curling portions respectively while the curling portions are pressed.

7. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 1 , wherein the two springs are respectively arranged between a first positive free end of the positive electric contact and a first negative free end of the negative electric contact and the bottom cover, the first positive free end and the first negative free end respectively extend out of the first positive hole and the first negative hole, the positive and negative collector are sandwiched between the bottom cover and the top cover.

8. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 1 , wherein the two springs are respectively arranged between a second positive free end of the positive electric contact and a second negative free end of the negative electric contact and the bottom cover, the first positive free end and the first negative free end respectively extend out of the first positive hole and the first negative hole, the positive and negative collector are sandwiched between the bottom cover and the top cover.

9. The electrical supply as claimed of claim 1 , wherein the two springs are respectively arranged between a first and second positive free end of the positive electric contact and a first and second negative free end of the negative electric contact and the bottom cover, the first positive free end and the first negative free end respectively extend out of the first positive hole and the first negative hole, the positive and negative collector are sandwiched between the bottom cover and the top cover.

10. A shelf system, comprising:
a plurality of vertical shelf rails,
supporters disposed in the vertical shelf rails,
two bus bars arranged in the supporters,
at least one support arm arranged in each of the vertical shelf rails,
at least one electrical supply disposed on the support arm,
the vertical shelf rail being hollow rail, each of the vertical shelf rails including at least one row of punched holes wherein each of rows has a plurality of punched holes, the supporters being made of insulating material, and the two bus bars being adjacent to each other along a length extension of the vertical shelf rails and insulatively disposed in the inner cavity of the vertical shelf rails,
the support arm including a nose-shaped insertion hook configured for engaging with the punched holes and the electrical supply being disposed on the nose-shaped insertion hook,
the electrical supply including a bottom cover and a top cover mounted on the bottom cover, a positive current collector and a negative current collector sandwiched between the top cover and the bottom cover, the top cover including two rows of positive collector hole and negative collector hole which are spaced apart from each other,
the positive collector hole including a first positive hole and a second positive hole spaced apart from the first positive hole, the negative collector hole including a first negative hole and a second negative hole spaced apart from the first negative hole,
the positive and negative power contacts being in contact with the slots, the positive collector including a first positive free end and a second positive free end, the negative collector including a first negative free end and a second negative free end, the first positive free end and the second positive free end of the positive collector being respectively inserted into the first and second positive holes, the first negative free end and the second negative free end of the negative collector are respectively inserted into the first and second positive holes,
a chord length of the positive electrical contact being less than a maximum distance between the first and second positive holes and a chord length of the negative electrical contact being less than a maximum distance between the first and second negative holes in the initial state of the positive and negative electrical contacts, and when four free ends of the positive and negative electric contacts are inserted into the first and second positive holes and the first and second negative holes respectively, the positive and negative power contacts rotate secondly whose direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of the first rotation so as to make the first positive free end and the first negative free end, which move toward the top cover, respectively abut against the bar bus so as to electrically connect therebetween, the second positive free end and the second negative free end will abut against the supply strip placement board.
