  • Publication number: 20110168548
    Abstract: A device for the dip painting of a body part with a basin for receiving a coating liquid has two parallel guides for guiding the body part and an anode body. The body part is connected to a cathode of a direct voltage source and the anode body to an anode of the direct voltage source. The anode body in position and spacing is assigned to the body part and guided through the basin with the body part. Because of this, adequate coating is ensured also in hollow spaces of the body part.

  • Patent number: 5272607
    Abstract: A lighting fixture suspendable from a ceiling above a working area for illuminating a workplace includes two fixture parts spaced from each other in longitudinal direction and each radiating light generated by at least one fluorescent lamp exclusively toward the top side thereof. Arranged above and at a distance to the first and second fixture parts is a reflector by which a fraction of upwardly radiated incident light rays is downwardly reflected in direction of the workplace.

  • Patent number: 5029059
    Abstract: A screen light comprises a substantially box-shaped housing having a light outlet opening, a fluorescent lamp arranged in the housing centrally in its upper region, and elements for subdividing the light outlet opening into substantially three fields including a central field and two lateral fields, so that a part of a light flux produced by the fluorescent lamp exits primarily directly in the central field, while two parts of the light flux exit from the lateral fields secondarily by reflection.

  • Patent number: 4621309
    Abstract: An elongated luminaire is provided having at least one fluorescent lamp and a louver arranged therebelow. The louver consists of lamp-parallel longitudinal reflectors and reflecting cross-oriented lamellae arranged transversely thereto and subsequently of V-shape in cross section. The lamella legs have a parabolic shape in cross section. A light guiding plate is provided extending from one leg of each cross-oriented lamella, extending diagonally upwardly towards and almost adjacent to the lamp. Each light guiding plate substantially overlaps the interspace between neighboring cross-oriented lamella in the vertical projection. Thus, the entire light flux, emerging downwards, is directed, depending on the position of the cross-oriented lamellae and of the light guiding plates, in the desired direction into the lower hemisphere so that it is possible to obtain different light distribution curves of symmetrical or asymmetrical shape with characteristic preferred directions.
