Patent number: 6065722Abstract: An assembly for mounting a lighting fixture on a tree includes a mounting plate having a flat mounting surface and angled flanges on opposite sides of said surface with slots in the flanges. A metal strap is secured to one of said flanges, passed through a clutch in two layers leaving a take-up loop on the opposite side of the clutch from the mounting plate. The free end of the strap is wrapped around the tree and passed through a slot on the opposite flange, being doubled over upon itself and clamped down with a screw and locking plate. The free end of the strap is then secured to the adjacent band with a clamp. The clutch consists of a housing carrying a pair of blocks between which two layers of the strap are passed to provide a take-up loop.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Lumiere Design & Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Craig LeVasseur, Christopher J.

Patent number: 5713662Abstract: An adjustable angle lamp fixture is disclosed including a housing with a pair of annular oppositely disposed surfaces with a wireway therethrough. A pair of hat shaped members each face a respective annular surface on the housing. A pair of arms bias the hat shaped members against the annular surface on the housing. The housing may rotate about an axis defined by the hat shaped members with the wires for a lamp contained within the housing extending from a base to the housing without restriction within the range of angular rotation.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1996Date of Patent: February 3, 1998Assignee: Lumiere Design & Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Hiroshi Kira

Patent number: 5599091Abstract: A lamp fixture includes a lamp assembly in a generally cylindrical housing having a radially extending flange at one end. A base for the housing includes mating halves each of which has a flange at one end, these flanges cooperating with the radially extending flange to form a pivot connection between the housing and the base. A pair of contact members of conducting material having arcuate contact surfaces are secured in the pivot connection on opposite sides of the radially extending flange and are connected to electrical terminals in the base. A pair of contact pins connected to the lamp assembly ride on the arcuate contact surfaces throughout any adjustment of the pivot connection. Electrical terminals in the base are fastened to the contact members. Positioned between the mating halves of the base is a wire guide which includes grooves cooperating with grooves in the mating halves to direct conducting wires to the terminals.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1996Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Lumiere Design & Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Hiroshi Kira

Patent number: 5165777Abstract: An illuminated fountain includes a housing with a water chamber in the housing having a cap with perforations and a transparent bottom panel, a lamp in the housing and a mirror for reflecting light from said lamp through the bottom panel of the water chamber. A source of electrical energy is connected to the housing and a pressure switch in the housing is connected between the electrical energy source and the lamp. The pressure switch has a fluid connection with the inlet to the water chamber such that it delivers current to the lamp only when water is flowing to the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1991Date of Patent: November 24, 1992Assignee: Lumiere Design & Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Hiroshi Kira
