Abstract: A light fixture assembly is provided with a lamp housing having a top, a lamp socket within the lamp housing, a power pack operatively connected to the lamp socket, and a means for supported attachment of the power pack to the lamp housing at a position substantially lateral to the lamp housing, and not extending substantially above a plane defined by the top of the lamp housing. The power pack comprises a junction box containing a transformer operatively connected to the lamp socket, and means for operative attachment of the power pack to an electrical source. The means for supported attachment of the power pack to the lamp housing permits flexion of the junction box relative to the lamp housing.

Abstract: A recessed light fixture includes a housing, a cap affixed to an upper edge of the housing, and a cover plate having an aperture formed therein and affixed to a lower edge of the housing. A junction box and transformer having associated wiring are affixed to the cap. Mounted within the housing of the recessed light fixture is a reflector having opposing first and second reflector surfaces, a first end, a second end, and a prism having at least one diverging lens. The prism is slidingly moveable within the second end of the reflector. A bulb is electrically connected to the transformer and mounted within the housing and protruding through an opening in the first end and thereby into an upper portion of the reflector. The first and second reflector surfaces are formed having a preselected parabolic geometry so that a light beam is narrowest at a preselected limit of travel of the prism closest to the bulb, and widest at a preselected limit of travel of the prism farthest away from the bulb.

Abstract: A tile and frame flooring system consisting of uniform frame elements joined together so as to create a support frame upon which a tile rests. The frame elements combine to form a lattice of support frames covering the surface to be tiled. The tiles are nestled into the frames to complete the flooring. The wood frame and tiles merge in appearance to form an aesthetically pleasing and continuous floor surface that is easy for the user to install.

Abstract: Disclosed is a suspension system for suspending linear fixtures from an overhead structure which permits temporary suspension of adjacent fixtures prior to final locking connection of the fixtures. The system has a hanger member comprising a bridge member, an elongated alignment member, and at least one clamping member supported from the bridge member for relative vertical movement therewith. Additionally, the clamping member has two spaced apart wings each adapted to be inserted loosely adjacent a corresponding one of a pair of adjacent clamping surfaces when tongue insert positions are inserted into alignment receiving slots. The clamping member may be moved vertically to bring the wing members into clamping engagement with the clamping surfaces and move end portions of the linear fixtures toward each other into locking engagement.

Abstract: A finishing section of a recessed wall wash light fixture has a heat conducting side wall. The inner surface of the side wall has a reflective finish. A lamp is non-centrally aligned within the finishing section. The reflective sides cooperate with the off axis location of the lamp to operate as a kick reflector to kick a portion of the light emitted outward from the fixture at high angles to illuminate a nearby wall close to the ceiling line. The finishing section functions as a lamp support, heat shield and kick reflector reducing the number of parts and complexity of assembly typical of wall wash light fixtures. The finishing section is mounted substantially within a rough-in section housing. An aperture cone section, lens, hinge and bias mechanism, and rotatable collar improve performance and functionality of the fixture.

Abstract: A golf simulator has a flooring system comprising a tee area, a green area, a green-side area and a ball feed system adjacent the flooring system. From measurements taken when the ball is hit, the computer control system computes the next shot position of the ball after it is hit and the corresponding location on the flooring system. A ball feed system collects the ball into a ball feed chute and moves the ball toward a return gutter. When the ball contacts a gutter sensor, the sensor signals a gutter door to open, corresponding to a feed tube. The ball is sent down the return gutter and drops, at the position where the gutter door opened, into a feeding tube and a ball lifting mechanism positions a ball at the appropriate location on the flooring system. This process continues until a player finishes the hole. Accordingly, a player need not touch the golf ball, except when under penalty, more similar to an actual round of golf.

Abstract: There is disclosed a linear fixture layout where one or more linear fixtures extending along different longitudinal axes are offset from each other by a predetermined angle. The fixtures each have end portions, which are positioned adjacent to and spaced from each other. The fixtures each have end caps mounted to the end portions of the linear fixtures and connected to each other by an interconnecting member so as to present a continuous fixture layout. The end caps have a slot in a side portion thereof and the interconnecting member has two legs spread apart from each other at the predetermined angle. Each of the legs is adapted to be mounted in sliding relation into a corresponding end cap slot to fixedly locate the end caps together and present continuous fixture layout appearance.

Abstract: A semi-recessed downlight wall wash canopy luminaire includes a plaster frame, a lamp socket, a lamp, a downlight reflector, a wall wash reflector, and a trim piece. The plaster frame mounts behind the canopy or ceiling sheeting for supporting the components of the luminaire in relation to an opening in the sheeting. The lamp socket holds the lamp above the opening. The downlight and wall wash reflectors are positioned in surrounding relation to the lamp. The wall wash reflector has a bottom portion which extends below the plaster frame and the sheeting for reflecting light toward a wall at high angles. A trim piece extends downward from the plaster frame and below the bottom portion of the wall wash reflector providing a finished appearance. The trim piece has a bottom opening and a side window, which may be covered by refractive lenses.
