Abstract: A round or rectangular clip assembly that utilizes torsion tension spring loops, formed from the flexible material. The clip forms a tongue segment on one side of the torsion tension spring loops, and multiple extension members on the second side. The spring loop is configured to pushes the tongue segment toward the substantially parallel surface formed on each extension member, and can hold a light bulb or a light socket inbetween. The clip also includes additional torsion three-quarter rounded tension spring loop, which can be rounded for holding a wire or an extension cord, or rectangular, for attaching to a rectangular fixture.

Abstract: A mounting system and method for tautly mounting a flexible material sign includes a plurality of mounting springs affixed to an associated sign structure. Each of the plurality of mounting springs includes a base portion, a grasping portion and a spring portion. The base portion is adapted to be secured to an associated sign structure, such as a structure to which the flexible material sign is to be mounted, a frame or similar structure surrounding the flexible material sign, etc. The grasping portion includes a finger adapted to be received within an aperture of the flexible material sign. The spring portion is disposed between the base portion and the grasping portion for applying a tension to the flexible material sign.

Abstract: An HID lamp with a canted arc tube including a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp with an outer envelope (1) having a neck portion (34) and a lamp axis (32); a frame (9) having first frame section (9a), second frame section (9b), third frame section (9c), the first frame section (9a) being pivotably connected to the second frame section (9b) in a first connection, and the second frame section (9b) being pivotably connected to the third frame section (9c) in a second connection; and an arc tube (4) having an arc tube axis (33) attached to the second frame section (9b). At least one of the first connection and the second connection is a deformable connector (130, 132) paired with a rotary joint (21, 23); and the arc tube axis (33) forms a predetermined angle with the lamp axis (32) when the frame (9) is in a final configuration.

Abstract: An arc tube assembly (10) for a protected high intensity discharge lamp. The assembly has a ceramic arc tube (12) with a short shroud (20) surrounding at least the arc chamber (14) of the arc tube. The short shroud (20) allows the frit seal areas (46) of the arc tube capillaries (18) to project beyond the shroud (20) and thereby operate at a lower temperature, thus increasing lamp life.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for a reflector lamp. The mounting assembly comprises a 0.050" diameter stainless steel rod that has been formed into a three-turn spiral. The spiral surrounds the inner jacket mount assembly of the reflector lamp, and fits into the neck region of the reflector. The lower leg of the spiral either takes the place of, or augments a "dummy" lead presently used in the inner jacket press, so that one or both fit into the reflector eyelet opening in the neck of the reflector. The opposite end of the spiral piece extends upwardly, and is connected to the upper lead of the Model No. PAR30L inner jacket mount assembly of the Model No. MPD70 lamp.
