  • Patent number: 10527262
    Abstract: A connection system accommodates small aperture fixtures and provides ample room for electrical connections and a cosmetically superior seam. The connection system may consist of two mating brackets for the concealed joining of segments of light fixtures. The joiner design is completely integral to a fixture, with no externally visible hardware and no additional visual seams. Due to the sweeping nature of the joining action, internal fixture components do not need to be removed in order for correct joining to occur. Additionally this design requires that no components are removed from the fixture prior to joining, significantly reducing the time and effort that goes into joining fixtures in runs.
