Appl. No.:

8/608723

Inventors:

Ann Greene - Cranford NJ
Richard Sangiamo - Linden NJ

Assignee:

The Genlyte Group, Incorporated - Seacucus NJ

International Classification:

F21V 2100

US Classification:

362374

Abstract:

A lighting fixture with a safety hook allows easier wiring of a lighting fixture, allows easier and accurate alignment and attachment of the fixture's housing and cover during installation and prevents the fixture from dropping down during servicing. A safety hook with two stages or hook elements is installed in the cover of the lighting fixture. An eye flange with a slot is installed in the housing so that the slot can slide over the safety hook in the cover. As the slot is guided over the safety hook, the slot will engage the first stage or hook element which allows the housing to hang from the cover without any assistance from the installer while the necessary wiring connections are made. Then, the slot is guided further onto the safety hook until the slot engages the second stage or hook element which allows the housing and cover to be easily aligned and connected. In addition, if the fixture needs to be serviced, the safety hook prevents the housing from dropping down onto the person servicing the fixture as the housing is removed from the cover.

Inventors:

Michael E. Chin - Cranford NJ

Assignee:

The Genlyte Group Incorporated - Seacucus NJ

International Classification:

F21V 1700

US Classification:

362448

Abstract:

A lighting fixture with a socket base having a closed and cool running back which reduces the amount of heat transferred to the area behind the lamp socket base and allows lower temperature rated wires to be used in the installation of the lamp socket base. The lamp socket base has raised lugs on which the lamp socket rests. A gasket is placed around or between the lamp socket and the lamp socket base and another gasket is placed between the lamp socket base and the wall or ceiling box. The lamp socket base is constructed as one piece such as from a casting. All of these features help to reduce the amount of heat transferred from the lamp socket to the other side of the lamp socket base and also to the wires in the area behind the lamp socket base.
