  • Patent number: 10920942
    Abstract: A rear facing light bar assembly that incorporates a plurality of light functions in a small integrated unit. A multifunctional circuit board powers different colored light emitting diodes to produce the tail light, brake light, amber and/or backup light. The assembly also has end caps, a one-piece polycarbonate tube lens and an extruded housing. Heat from the circuit board is dissipated through the end caps and into the extruded housing. The assembly is constructed such that the electronics are completely protected from the outside environment, and sealed from water and dust intrusion. The light also minimizes tooling and assembly cost, yet provides a secure seal protecting the electrical components. In addition, the light is serviceable so individual parts can be replaced or repaired if parts are damaged.

  • Patent number: 5458290
    Abstract: A sprinkler head support apparatus and pipe support apparatus for an underground sprinkler system. The sprinkler housing support includes an open cage to permit drainage of water from the sprinkler head housing. The pipe support and pop-up sprinkler housing support can be placed completely beneath the soil limiting the exposure of the sprinkler system to above ground activities and possible damage. The pipe supports are made from a durable plastic and hollow inside to permit compact stacking in storage.
