  • Publication number: 20230398720
    Abstract: A reel based tensioning device includes a housing, a spool that is rotatably positioned within the housing, and a knob member that is operably coupled with the spool to cause the spool to rotate in a first direction within the housing and thereby wind a tension member about the spool. The reel based tensioning device also includes a load holding mechanism that is coupled with the spool and that is configured to rotate the spool in the first direction within the housing and to prevent rotation of the spool in a second direction to prevent unwinding of the tension member from about the spool. The reel based tensioning device further includes an audible component that is configured to produce an audible noise responsive to operation of the knob member to signal an adjustment of the tension member.

  • Patent number: 11655948
    Abstract: A luminaire comprising: a chassis (100), the chassis (100) comprising: four walls joined to form a rectangular cavity, each wall of the four walls comprising: —a heat sink (107); —a wiring channel (111, 112); —a first receiving channel (114) on a first side of the heat sink (107); and—a second receiving channel (116) on a second side of the heat sink (107); a light emitting diode board (130) attached to a first wall of the four walls; a first extrusion (344) attached to a second wall of the four walls; a second extrusion (345) attached to a third wall of the four walls; wherein the light emitting diode board (130) comprises a first protrusion that fits into the first receiving channel and a second protrusion that fits into the second receiving channel; and wherein the light emitting diode board (130) rests on the heat sink (107) of the first wall when the first protrusion is fit into the first receiving channel and the second protrusion is fit into the second receiving channel.

  • Patent number: 10755685
    Abstract: A luminaire can include a power source housing that houses at least one light fixture component. The luminaire can also include a light engine tray disposed proximate to the power source housing. The luminaire further can include a first acoustic feature coupled to the power source housing and the light engine tray, where the first acoustic feature comprises a first side wall having a first configuration, where the first configuration of the first side wall absorbs sound.
