Abstract: The wall mountable lighting fixture does not require tools to attach and remove the fixture from a wall surface. The wall mountable lighting fixture includes an attachment mechanism that can be manipulated from a first position to a second position by the push of a button. The button is pressed and the dimension of the attachment mechanism is increased and placed about the edges of a DIN rail attached to the wall. When the button is released, a biasing member returns the attachment mechanism to the first position, thereby reducing the dimension of the attachment mechanism. Once reduced, the dimension is smaller than the critical dimension of the DIN rail and either grips or rests within the DIN rail, thereby holding the fixture to the wall surface. Reversing the steps allows for the removal of the fixture from the wall for repair or replacement.

Abstract: A lighting fixture has a modular design. A plurality of interconnecting components fit together to impart to the lighting fixture multiple degrees of rotation. This enables the installer or user to effectively move, change, or adjust the area of illumination over time without constraints. A lamp housing is supported by a plurality of tubular arms that have a threaded connection at one end and a slip-fit connection at the other end. These connections enable the arms to be rotated independently of each other. The result is a lighting fixture having multiple degrees of rotation. An enclosed path through the tubular arms and a hinge leads from a J-box to the lamp housing. The enclosed path accommodates electrical wiring to power the lighting fixture, while the hinge enables the lamp housing to rotate about an axis parallel to the mounting surface.

Abstract: A joint (52) for connecting arm portions (40, 42) of a ceiling or wall mounted support system includes housing members (60,62) with an annular bearing (64) interposed between opposed surfaces (82,84) thereof. The housing members are clamped together on an axle (98) such that a braking force generated between the bearing and the housing member surfaces opposes rotation of one arm portion relative to the other. A variable braking force is generated between the bearing and surfaces (206) of the housing members which are generally perpendicular to the opposed surfaces (82,84). The variable braking force is generated by a spring (182) and is greatest when the arm supporting a piece of equipment (24, 26, 28, 56) is at its lowest point, relative to the horizontal. This overcomes the increased forces in the spring which otherwise tend to cause the arm portion (42) to drift upward.
