  • Patent number: 5260859
    Abstract: An elongated strip light for use with low voltage, tubular lamps having conical end contacts. The lighting unit has an angle strip made of an insulating material to which a pair of electrically conductive tracks are mounted on the outside of the strip. A series of U-shaped, spaced-apart lamp holders are riveted to the inside of the angle strip. The rivets and the holders are arranged so that the holders are alternatingly electrically connected to one or the other electrically conductive track so that each pair of proximate holders mounted to the angle strip is of a different polarity. The holders further define resilient arms, each provided with a hole for receiving, holding and electrically connecting conical contact ends of the lamps with the holders to thereby energize the lamps when the conductive strips are connected to a source of electric power.

  • Patent number: 5207589
    Abstract: The current conductor arrangement, more especially for illuminating systems of all types, comprises a current conductor rod whose mutually insulated metallic current conductors make up at least 50% of the cross sectional area of the current conductor rod. It is in this manner that more especially when the current conductor arrangement is used for low voltage applications it is possible to conduct high amperages. Preferably the current conductor rod is round so that the retainer clamps on it, which carry the electrical loads such as lamps, fans and the line, may be swiveled. Advantageous developments of the holders make it possible for them to be additionally swiveled so that the user is practically given a free choice as regards the arrangement and alignment of the electrical load.
