Abstract
A connection apparatus for connecting a first face of a first electrical device to a second face of a second electrical device. First and second hooks are coupled in spaced relation to the first face of the first electrical device. A pivot member, in facing relation to the first hook, is coupled to the second face of the second electrical device for releasably engaging with the first hook. The second electrical device is pivotable about the engagement of the first hook and the pivot member between a proximate position where the second hook is proximate to the second face of the second electrical device and a spaced position where the second hook is spaced apart from the second face of the second electrical device. A locking apparatus is displaceably mounted on the second face of the second electrical device for releasably engaging with the second hook in a first position and disengaging with the second hook in a second position. The movement of the locking apparatus from the second position to the first position when the first hook and pivot members are engaged serves to hold the electrical devices together.
