  • Patent number: 11079082
    Abstract: A kit for joining together at least a pair of light fixture segments at a joint interface therebetween to form a light fixture assembly, comprises at least a pair of complementary coupling units, each coupling unit configured to be located in an operative position in one of said light fixture segments to join the other coupling unit at the joint interface defined by complementary abutment surfaces on said light fixture segments, at least one of the complementary coupling units being configured to be adjustably located in the operative position to displace another of the coupling units along a designated travel path toward a limit position, wherein the joining of the light fixture segments at the joint interface occurs in advance of the other coupling unit reaching the limit position.

  • Patent number: 10995939
    Abstract: A linear light fixture assembly for supporting a light fixture in a ceiling structure, comprises a light fixture mounting structure having a pair of opposed boundary regions configured to fit within a designated light fixture receiving region in the ceiling structure, and a plurality of spring elements configured to spaced outwardly from at least one of the boundary regions, each spring element having a mounting region configured to be anchored to the mounting structure and a free end region to extend therefrom and to be laterally outwardly biased in a first position to form a path of contact with a support surface region on the ceiling structure to anchor the structure in the receiving region, each of the spring elements configured to be movable toward the corresponding boundary region in a second position to release the path of contact to release the light fixture from the receiving region.

  • Patent number: 10962204
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coupling assembly for joining together a pair of light fixture segments at a joint interface therebetween to form a light fixture assembly, comprising a body rotatably mountable on a first of the light fixture segments about a central axis, the body configured to operably engage a drive tool with a drive axis thereof aligned with the central axis to rotate the body between a release position and a coupling position, the body having a designated receiving location to receive a complementary coupling element on a second of the light fixture segments, and configured to provide an arcuate pathway extending from designated receiving location, wherein the designated receiving location and pathway are configured to permit the complementary coupling element to travel along the pathway as the body rotates on the central axis, and thereby to laterally transfer the complementary coupling element radially toward the central axis to draw the first and second light fixture segment toward forming the joint in

  • Patent number: 10871263
    Abstract: A light fixture for mounting in a t-bar ceiling structure, the light fixture includes a housing configured to support a ring-shaped lens to at least partially surround an inner reflective surface, the inner reflective surface being configured to at least partially reflect light incident thereon from the lens, to present a mirage effect in a transition zone near the lens.

  • Patent number: 10815661
    Abstract: A canopy for use with a ceiling connector mountable at a designated ceiling location to define a mounting end region thereon, includes a body securable to the mounting end region by a rotationally operable connector, wherein the body is configured to form a mounting interface with the mounting end region to block perceptible relative rotation therebetween about a rotation axis defined by the connector by forces associated therewith, wherein the mounting interface is defined by at least one first engagement surface on the canopy configured to be in contact with at least corresponding second engagement surface on the mounting end region.
