US Patent:

54375045, Aug 1, 1995

Filed:

Sep 9, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/118927

Inventors:

George Halvatzis - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

A47F 1110

US Classification:

362125

Abstract:

A display case lighting fixture supportable between the inner opposing wall surfaces of a display case. The display lighting fixture comprises a housing having a longitudinal extent and first and second housing end portions. Halogen-type light producing bulbs and reflectors are mounted in the housing in order to produce a lighting pattern within the interior of the display. The display lighting fixture includes first and second housing support elements which extend substantially along the longitudinal axial extent from said first and second housing end portions, respectively. The first and second housing support elements have first and second wall engaging portions, respectively, and each wall engaging portion is adapted to engage one inner opposing wall surface of the display case. Contained within housing end portions is a simple mechanism for reliably adjusting the position of the first and second housing support elements along the longitudinal extent so that the distance between the first and second wall engaging portions can be made substantially equal to the distance between the inner opposing wall surfaces. In this way, each wall engaging portion engages one inner opposing wall surface in order to support the display case lighting fixture therebetween.
