International Classification:

F21V 13/00

US Classification:

362245, 362235, 36224902

Abstract:

Disclosed exemplary solid state light fixtures use optical cavities to combine or integrate light from LEDs or the like. In such a fixture, the cavity is formed by a light transmissive structure having a volume, and a diffuse reflector that covers a contoured portion of the structure. A circuit board has flexible tabs mounting the light emitters. A heat sink member supports the circuit board and is contoured relative to the shape of the light transmissive structure so that the tabs bend and the emitters press against a sufficiently rigid periphery of the light transmissive structure. TIM may be compressed between the heat sink member and the opposite surface of each tab. Various contours/angles of the periphery of the light transmissive structure and the mating portion of the heat sink member may be used.

Appl. No.:

5/738304

Inventors:

Robert Becker - Louisville KY

International Classification:

B60D 108

US Classification:

280420

Abstract:

A housing secured to a truck tractor body contains pneumatic and electrical outlets for supplying air pressure and electricity to a trailer for powering brakes and lights. The housing contains an inlet for receiving a pair of air hoses and an electrical cable connected respectively to electrical and pneumatic systems inside the tractor. Inside the housing, the hoses and cables are connected to outlets mounted on the housing shell. Helically coiled hose extensions and jumper cable are connected respectively from the pneumatic and electrical outlets on the housing to suitable inlet connectors on the trailer. When the extensions and jumper are not connected to the trailer, they are attached to retainer brackets on the housing for storage. A lamp is mounted to the housing for illuminating a working area between the tractor body and trailer during hookup of the hoses and cable. The lamp is controlled by a switch mounted on the housing.
