Patent number: 11629853Abstract: A lighting device system includes a lighting device module having a module housing configured to be selectively inserted through an opening in a panel or a base. Driver electronics are configured to be electrically coupled to the lighting device module. A heat sink member is located adjacent the opening in the panel or the base. A movable biasing device has a first position to apply a bias force on the module housing, pressing the module housing toward the heat sink member to increase thermal transfer. The moveable biasing device has a second position to provide improved access to the driver electronics through the opening in the panel or base relative to the first position. The movable biasing device is selectively moveable from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Troy-CSL Lighting Inc.Inventors: Calvin Wong, Jacob Hawkins

Patent number: 9736376Abstract: The invention includes a payload stage with tilt head, a monitor mount and a payload plate clamping mechanism, individually, and incorporated into a camera stabilizer. The tilt head provides a curved and a straight slot each having a pivot pin disposed therein. The pivot pins are at a fixed distance from one another and thus the stage tilts as the pivot progresses with respect to the straight slot. The monitor mount provides inserts to accommodate central posts of different sizes, each designed to be axially registered to the posts and the monitor mount.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: The Tiffen Company, LLCInventors: Jerry Holway, Jacob Hawkins, H.
