David Allen Venhaus has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11098862
    Abstract: A wall-wash lighting fixture is provided. The wall-wash lighting fixture includes a solid-state light source having a light emitting surface configured to emit light. The light emitting surface is a long dimension of the light emitting surface. The wall-wash lighting fixture further includes a frustoconical structure. The solid-state light source is positioned to emit light into the frustoconical structure. The wall-wash lighting fixture includes a reflector coupled to the frustoconical structure such that light exiting frustoconical structure is reflected at a non-parallel angle relative to a vertical axis associated with the wall-wash lighting fixture. The reflector defines an opening.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6836611
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus for providing a substantially uniformly illuminated light emitting surface, the apparatus comprising first and second light sources generating flux patterns including light rays that diverge about first and second central light rays, respectively and a light guide member having substantially straight first and second en sections and a curved section, the first end section having a proximal end and a distal end and formed about a first light axis, the second end section having a proximal end and a distal end and formed about a second light axis, the curved section including first and second ends that are linked to the distal ends of the first and second end sections, respectively, the guide forming a front surface and an oppositely facing textured back surface along each of the end sections and the curved section, the curved section forming a bend such that the back surface is concave and the front surface is convex along the curved section length, at least a portion of the back surface ta
