  • Patent number: 12129996
    Abstract: A dual LED light fixture is comprised by a lower LED light source housing and an upper LED light source housing. A lower LED light source is mounted in the lower light source housing to generate downlight. An upper LED light source is mounted in the upper LED light source housing and remote from an outer circumferential light transmitting outer side area of the upper light source housing and from which is emitted side light illumination. An LED power supply and light control circuit mounted in the LED light fixture and adapted for connection to a power source. The LED light power supply and control circuit has a dimming circuit and a lower and upper driver current supply circuit. A switch is operative to connect driver current to the upper LED light source when actuated to an “on” position and to disconnect driver current to the upper LED light source when in a normal “off” position.

  • Patent number: 6609998
    Abstract: A method and a machine for making a plastic film bag with opposed closable end openings as well as a double compartment bag is described. The bags may be formed from J-folded, U-folded or tubular film sheets. In one embodiment, a bag is formed with a gusseted end adjacent which a zipper closure and a detachable end is provided and at the other end of the bag there is provided an opening which is closable by a closure tag. The method and machine are also adaptable to form double-ended closure bags having two distinct compartments, each accessible by a respective one of the end closure. The bags formed by the method and machine have various uses such as carrying two separate articles, each article being accessible from one of the opposed ends of the bags. The double compartment bags may also contain two different products, each accessible separately through a zipper closure. The bags may also be formed with a flap provided with wicket holes to support the bag in an automatic bag filling machine.
