Abstract:

A mounting system for a member to a support structure. The member includes ends and sides. A hinge may be attached to one of the ends of the member. Hinges may be attached to both ends along the same side of the member. The hinge may include an arm from which a tab extends. The ends may include securing means. The support structure includes a mounting aperture that is configured to interact with the hinge of the member. In some embodiments, the support structure may have multiple mounting apertures. The mounting aperture is configured to prevent the hinge of the member from disengaging from the support structure. In some embodiments, the mounting aperture is configured to pivotally retain the hinge of the member.

Abstract:

Retrofit systems for replacing the outdated components of an existing light fixture. The retrofit systems may utilize the previously installed housing of the existing light fixture. The retrofit systems include brackets that are positioned on the ends of the housing. The positioning of the brackets is based off of the ceiling, t-grid, or the bottom of the housing. Lamp sockets with associated lamps, an optional ballast tray with associated ballast, reflector(s), lamps, and a shielding mechanism are all mounted on, and their position in the housing dictated by, the mounting brackets. Thus, regardless of the depth of the housing, the lamps are positioned a uniform distance from the ceiling opening to create consistent light distribution. Moreover, because these components are not directly attached to the housing, their dimensions need not precisely match those of the housing. Rather, the retrofit system can be installed in housings of varying sizes and shapes.

International Classification:

F21V 11/06

US Classification:

362354

Abstract:

A louver to distribute light emitted by a light fixture. A frame is formed integrally with the exterior housing of the louver. The integral frame eliminates the need for a separate louver door frame which has traditionally been used to mount a louver within a light fixture. The exterior housing may be formed from end blades and side stringers. A flange may provide additional support for the integral frame of the louver. Mounting means may be positioned and oriented on the end blades of the exterior of the housing. The mounting means may include hinges that interact with the light fixture housing or other mounting apparatuses. Additional securing means may be associated with the end blades of the louver for securing the louver in the proper orientation relative to the light fixture housing.
