  • Patent number: 8845145
    Abstract: A reflector assembly and method for installing into a collar. The reflector assembly includes a reflector, a frame surrounding and being coupled to a portion of the reflector, and one or more connectors coupled to the frame. Each connector includes a base portion coupled to the frame, a first finger, and a biasing portion. The first finger and the biasing portion extend in a generally upward direction from a portion of the base portion; however the first finger is angled away from the reflector while the biasing portion is angled toward the reflector. The biasing portion exerts a force on the side of the reflector when the first finger portion is compressed inwardly towards a side of the reflector. The reflector assembly is installed into a collar by inserting the reflector assembly into the collar and allowing first finger to compress toward the reflector and then away from it.

  • Patent number: 8511867
    Abstract: An apparatus that includes a first frame and a second frame coupleable to the first frame. The first frame includes an inner edge, an outer edge, and a base extending between the edges. The second frame includes an inner edge, an outer edge, a base extending between the edges, and a sidewall extending substantially perpendicularly outward from the inner edge. The sidewall includes a lip portion that extends beyond the first frame's base once the first frame is coupled to the second frame and the sidewall is inserted adjacently through the first frame's inner edge. The first frame is coupled to the second frame in at least a first orientation and a second orientation. The lip portion has a first length when coupled in the first orientation and a second length when coupled in the second orientation. The first length is smaller than the second length.
