  • Patent number: 5590953
    Abstract: A motion activated decorative lantern having an optical lens which becomes part of the lantern structure and appearance so that there is no profile difference due to the presence of the motion sensor. The detection range area may be adjusted without the details of the adjustment being visible. A rotatable sensing module has an integral appearance with that of the fixture. The decorative lantern has a decorative lamp portion and a mounting portion, a cylindrical sensing module having a chamber; a motion sensor located in the chamber for detecting motion in a selected location around the lantern; and a lens piece positioned around the sensing module and over the chamber. The lens piece has a uniform decorative appearance. The sensing module is rotatable to change the selected location of detection of the lantern. The lantern also includes a decorative external housing, decorative tail below the sensing module and a decorative lantern base.

  • Patent number: 5531486
    Abstract: This device includes: (a) an access opening, (b) support structure located adjacent an edge of the access opening and containing a plurality of slots, and (c) a sheet-metal door having one edge located adjacent the support structure, having a closed position covering the access opening, and having a fully-open position in which the door is perpendicular to its position when closed. The door is swingable between its closed and fully-open positions about a pivot axis located near said one door edge. The door includes a plurality of tabs projecting outwardly from said one edge, each tab being of a generally L-shaped cross-section when viewed from a reference plane perpendicular to the pivot axis. Each tab comprises a first arm located in the major plane of the door and a second arm extending transversely of the first arm.

  • Patent number: 5515252
    Abstract: A cover plate is designed for use in either wall mounting or ceiling mounting applications. The cover plate comprises a base forming a base plane for mounting said plate flush against a support surface. A main body is connected to the base and has a generally flat mounting surface disposed in the plane parallel to the base and a sloped mounting surface inclined with respect to the base plane. A pair of first mounting holes are formed in the flat mounting surface which have an axis substantially perpendicular to the base plane. A pair of second mounting holes are formed in the sloped mounting surface and have an axis disposed at an angle with respect to the base plane. In ceiling mounting applications, lighting fixtures are received in the first mounting holes. Conversely, in wall mounting applications, the lighting fixtures are received in the second mounting holes.

  • Patent number: 5510964
    Abstract: This luminaire employs as its light source a double-ended lamp comprising a tubular light-transmitting envelope having a central longitudinal axis, conductive terminals at opposite ends of the envelope, and a light-generating filament connected between the terminals. The lamp, when installed in the luminaire, is connected between a pair of spaced contacts respectively engaging its conductive terminals. The luminaire is constructed in such a manner that an installer engaged in relamping it is blocked from accidentally touching one terminal of the lamp while the other terminal is engaged with its mating contact, thereby protecting the installer from such electric shock as could result from touching one lamp terminal while the other is engaged with a live contact.
