  • Modular stack light with central connectors
    Patent number: 9845949
    Abstract: An in-line sound module for a modular stack light system provides electrical and mechanical connectors to allow it to be placed anywhere in the stack. Axial orientation of the audio transducer and a flexible jumpering system allow preservation of central connectors between modules. In-line configuration permits multiple sound modules to be used in a stack light and to be teamed with different beacon modules. In one embodiment the in-line sound module may also include lamps to provide beacon functionality.
    Type: Grant

  • Stack Light with Modular Power Converter
    Publication number: 20150198317
    Abstract: A power converter is introduced into a stack light in the form of a compatible modular element that fits between the base and a light module. By converting multiple input voltages to a common core voltage in a module distinct from the base and light modules, proliferation of different varieties of base modules and light modules may be reduced without impact on customer selection.

  • Stack Light with Modular Function Generator
    Publication number: 20150198316
    Abstract: A function generator is introduced into a stack light in the form of a compatible modular element that fits between the base and a light module. By centralizing the operation of the function generator, fewer components must be separately stocked and a cost savings may be realized through the centralized function generator.
