Patent number: 12031703Abstract: The present disclosure is a linear luminaire connector assembly that is configured to connect linear luminaires in a desired geometric arrangement. The connector assembly provides modularity in the arrangement of two or more linear luminaires. The connector assembly provides connection points to which linear luminaires can Connect such that the linear luminaires are arranged around the connector assembly in different directions to form any appropriate pattern of a user's choice. Further, the connector assembly is configured to house one or more electronic components/devices therein, such as IOT devices, sensors, cameras, emergency battery packs, wireless communication modules.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING, B.V.Inventors: Andrew L. Robota, Steven Russell Clements, Scott Peter Formel, Anthony Reale

Patent number: 11073262Abstract: A luminaire includes a back plate and a wire cover. The back plate includes a first tab that defines a tab receiving cavity. Further, the first tab includes a first mating feature formed therein. The wire cover includes an inner surface that defines an electronics cavity, an outer surface that defines a light source mounting platform, and a second tab. The second tab includes a second mating feature that is complementary to the first mating feature. The second tab of the wire cover is disposed in the tab receiving cavity defined by the first tab of the back plate to removably couple the wire cover to the back plate. Further, the second mating feature of the second tab engages the first mating feature of the first tab to releasably lock the wire cover to the back plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Andrew L. Robota, Rusty B. Flippo, Steven Russell Clements

Publication number: 20200363600Abstract: A lens alignment end cap of a luminaire includes a base wall and a sidewall that extends substantially perpendicular to the base wall along a perimeter of the base wall. At least a portion of the sidewall is configured to support an edge of a lens therein. Further, the lens alignment end cap includes a centering tab that is disposed on the portion of the sidewall that is configured to support the edge of the lens. The centering tab is configured to centrally align the lens that is disposed between the lens alignment end cap and another lens alignment end cap that is disposed opposite to the lens alignment end cap and to minimize a sliding of the lens between the lens alignment end cap and the other lens alignment end cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2019Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventor: Andrew L.

Patent number: 10527241Abstract: A magnetic row mounting system includes a magnet holding bracket that is configured to be removably coupled to an end plate of a luminaire. The magnet holding bracket includes a body that has a first surface and an opposite second surface. Further the body includes a plurality of magnet housing cavities that are configured to house magnets therein. Furthermore, the body of the magnet holding bracket includes an alignment cavity that is configured to receive an orientation tab of the end plate therein to removably couple the magnet holding bracket to the end plate in only one direction. Alternatively, the magnetic row mounting system includes both the end plate of the luminaire and the magnet holding bracket that is configured to be removably coupled to the end plate.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventor: Andrew L. Robota
