Patent number: 11047553Abstract: A luminaire a small number of carefully designed extrusions is easily manufactured. The housing is formed by joining four pieces having a first extrusion profile. A second extrusion profile is used for the side and end covers. A third profile is used for access covers. The housing frames a lens, such as an acrylic sheet, and long lines of LEDs are positioned to shine directly into the side of the lens. A reflective layer on the lens directs all or some of the LED light out the luminaire's front, perhaps directing some light out the back. Strategically positioned diffusors ensure a pleasing lighting effect. The result is a very thin and light weight luminaire having a large surface area. The luminaire can be suspended by threaded nipples, by cables threaded through holes in the back, or by brackets screwed to threaded inserts.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: NICOR, INC.Inventors: Jorge Alfredo Gomez Martinez, David Brown, Ye Jin, Jiabin Yu, Zihai Lu, Trevor Shaw

Patent number: 11015776Abstract: Luminaire housings for architectural, industrial and warehouse applications have extrusions with parallel flat sides connected by a cross member. The wireway can be enclosed by the extrusion's roof or by cover segments clamped over an open top extrusion. Wireway openings provide access to the wireway. Nuts slid into T-channels in the roof or cover segments provide for mounting or suspension via wall brackets, cables, and housing brackets. Threaded nipples accessible through the roof or cover segments provide for pendant stem mounting. Continuous run brackets can join housings end to end. Optical elements slid into slots and channels in the housing can be retained by end caps. A housing cover over the wireway can be clamped in place by screws threaded into fixture brackets retained within the housing. The housing grooves in the cover segments can slidably engage the extrusion until the cover segments are clamped in place.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: NICOR, INC.Inventors: Jorge Alfredo Gomez Martinez, David Brown, Ye Jin, Jiabin Yu, Zihai Lu, Trevor Shaw

Patent number: 10865963Abstract: A luminaire for architectural, industrial and warehouse applications can be assembled using an extruded housing having curved sides connected by a cross member. Window openings in the curved sides can allow light to exit toward the sides of the luminaire while most of the light exits through a lens on the bottom. The extrusion can have channels and slots such that optical elements and an LED array can be slid into the housing and retained by endcaps. A housing cover can overlie a wireway while being held in place by screws creating a clamping force between the housing cover and fixture brackets retained within the housing. The luminaire can be suspended by the fixture brackets or by elements attached to the fixture brackets.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: NICOR, INC.Inventors: David Brown, Trevor Shaw, Jorge Alfredo Gomez Martinez, Ye Jin, Jiabin Yu, Zihai Lu

Patent number: 6145569Abstract: An arcuately deployable blind for arched frame windows includes a base, a pivot mounted to the base and positionable over a center of curvature of a window frame of the arched frame window, and a slide arm, rotatably mounted at first end to the pivot. An arcuate guide secured to the base. An arcuately deployable pleated blind has first and second parallel longitudinal sides and first and second parallel transverse edges. The edges extend generally at right angles to, and contiguous with the sides. A follower on the pleated blind is in sliding cooperation with the guide. The first edge of the blind is fastened to the base. The second edge of the blind is slidably fastened to the slide arm.

Patent number: 4032565Abstract: Crosslinkable polymers, suitable for use in the finishing of keratinous fibres such as wool, have polyoxyalkylene chains in which the alkylene groups consist of unbranched chains of not less than 3 carbon atoms. The polymer molecule contains at least two groupings capable of crosslinking, for example thiol, isocyanate, or thiosulphate groups, and the molecule also contains at least two carboxylic acid residues at least one of which is the residue of a polycarboxylic acid. The polyoxyalkylene chains are themselves linked at both ends to the rest of the molecule by carboxylic ester linkages. Particularly preferred compounds are water soluble and contain one or more solubilizing groups such as thiosulphate or the bi-sulphite adduct of isocyanate or, in the case of compounds with thiol groups, salt forming carboxylic groups. The compounds may be applied to textile fibres as aqueous emulsions or solutions and may be cured by drying in hot air or by steam.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1974Date of Patent: June 28, 1977Assignee: I.W.S.
