Abstract

A container may be provided. The container may comprise a seizure assembly, a housing, a circuit board, and a pin connector. The seizure assembly may comprise a retainer, a pressure applicator, and a charger. The retainer may comprise a casing and a nose with a nose opening. The charger may apply a force to the pressure applicator forcing the pressure applicator into the casing. The housing may comprise a housing cavity in which the seizure assembly is disposed, a housing wall comprising a housing opening that may be congruent with the nose opening, and a housing bottom comprising a charger recess in which the charger is disposed. The circuit board may be disposed in the housing cavity and may have an extender comprising a body and a head. The pin connector may be disposed in the housing wall and have a pin disposed between the pressure applicator and the head.

Claims (49)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a seizure assembly comprising;

a retainer comprising,

a casing, and

a nose comprising a nose opening,

a pressure applicator, and

a charger that applies a force to the pressure applicator forcing the pressure applicator into the casing; and

a housing comprising;

a housing cavity in which the seizure assembly is disposed,

a housing wall comprising a housing opening being congruent with the nose opening, and

a housing bottom comprising a charger recess in which the charger is disposed.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board disposed in the housing cavity, the circuit board comprising an extender comprising a body and a head, the head being disposed in a casing opening disposed in the casing.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the extender is connected in an electrical pathway on the circuit board to elements on the circuit board.

4. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a pin connector disposed in the housing wall, the pin connector comprising a pin wherein the pin is disposed between the pressure applicator and the head.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the pin extends from the pin connector and extends into the housing opening and the nose opening.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the nose is adjacent a housing wall inner surface of the housing wall.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the nose is substantially cylindrical.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the nose opening and the housing opening comprise concentric circles.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the retainer is attached to the housing bottom.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the retainer is attached to the housing bottom via a fastener disposed in a fastener opening in a flange extending from the retainer.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the charger comprises a spring.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pressure applicator is spherical.

13. An apparatus comprising:

a seizure assembly comprising;

a retainer comprising,

a casing comprising a casing opening, and

a nose comprising a nose opening,

a pressure applicator, and

a charger that applies a force to the pressure applicator forcing the pressure applicator into the casing; and

a pin connector comprising a pin wherein the pin is disposed between the pressure applicator and a head of an extender, the head being disposed in the casing opening.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising a circuit board on which the extender is disposed.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the extender is connected in an electrical pathway on the circuit board to elements on the circuit board.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising a housing wherein the housing comprises a housing cavity in which the seizure assembly is disposed.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the housing comprises a charger recess in a housing bottom of the housing, the charger being disposed in the charger recess.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the retainer is attached to the housing bottom.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the retainer is attached to the housing bottom via at least one fastener disposed in a fastener opening in a flange extending from the retainer.

20. An apparatus comprising:

a seizure assembly comprising;

a retainer comprising,

a casing, and

a nose comprising a nose opening,

a pressure applicator, and

a charger that applies a force to the pressure applicator forcing the pressure applicator into the casing;

a housing comprising;

a housing cavity in which the seizure assembly is disposed,

a housing wall comprising a housing opening being congruent with the nose opening, and

a housing bottom comprising a charger recess in which the charger is disposed;

a circuit board disposed in the housing cavity, the circuit board comprising an extender comprising a body and a head, the head being disposed in a casing opening disposed in the casing wherein the extender is connected in an electrical pathway on the circuit board to elements on the circuit board; and

a pin connector disposed in the housing wall, the pin connector comprising a pin wherein the pin is disposed between the pressure applicator and the head wherein the pin extends from the pin connector and extends into the housing opening and the nose opening.
