  • Patent number: 4775328
    Abstract: The present invention provides a modular electrical power block assembly including a plurality of ports for receiving individual modular circuits. The power block assembly includes seven separate electrical conductors, three of which are hot, two of which are neutral and two of which are ground, for providing three separate and independent circuits. The hot wire of one of the circuits is advantageously separated from the hot wires of the remaining two circuits by two grounds and two neutrals and one circuit may be shielded to prevent penetration of electro-magnetic interference from the other circuits. Individual circuit modules are adapted to be received within individual ports of the power block for selectively completing one or more of the three independent circuits provided by the power block assembly. The contacts extending from the individual circuit modules are arranged to engage only preselected wires within the power block assembly for completing a predetermined circuit.

  • Patent number: 4622624
    Abstract: A lighting fixture which may be installed under a shelf or cabinet positioned above a working area or positioned above any area in which illumination is sought. The lighting fixture is capable of easily and effectively directing the light to specific locations within the working area. A florescent tube is disposed along the length of the fixture. It has a reflector located above it. Below the florescent tube there is an elongated perforated metal panel covering approximately one-third of the light opening below the tube. The panel may be moved transverse to the length of the tube along the opening to direct the light from the tube. The panel is preferably formed of one fixed and one identical overlapping, movable, perforated metal panel. The movable panel may be moved parallel to the length of the tube to control the amount of light passing through the panels. The fixture is provided with cord storage in the middle of the back of the fixture. The ballast is mounted via a closed cell foam pad.
