Abstract
An overhead electrical infeed system includes an overhead mount surface, an electrical cord coupled to the overhead mount surface, an electrical outlet assembly coupled to a distal end portion of the cord having a proximal end portion mounted to the overhead mount surface and a distal end portion spaced from the proximal end portion. At least a portion of the weight of the electrical outlet assembly is supported by the electrical cord. A retractor is positioned along the electrical cord and is operable to raise the electrical outlet assembly or to retain the electrical outlet assembly at a selected elevation. An electrical outlet is electrically energized by the electrical cord and is mounted to the electrical outlet assembly, to provide users with access to electrical or data signals.
