  • Patent number: 7090379
    Abstract: A bi-material, anti-dazzle raster for tubular light sources includes, for example, at least two side pieces and a plurality of transverse partitions that extend between the pieces. The side pieces are made of a relatively rigid and resistant material and the partitions are grouped into modular units. Each unit includes a selected number of partitions connected to one another by at least two generally parallel connection bars and to the side pieces by a snap fit. The modular units are formed of a selected plastic material using injection molding.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050083694
    Abstract: A lighting fixture with a fluorescent light source, comprising a base (1) with at least one fluorescent lighting element (2) extending integrally therewith and an electronic system (3) for controlling the operation of the fixture arranged below the base and capable of being connected to a power supply network. The base (1) extends on the same side as the lighting element (2) to form a casing (4) around it acting as a reflector for the lighting element (2).

  • Publication number: 20020136014
    Abstract: A modular element for supporting light, sound and image sources (2) and realizing knock-down structures, the element comprising a box-shaped and substantially flat body (1) on which there are provided windows (3) arranged side by side and delimited by respective grooved edges (4) capable of forming seatings for each window with which there can engage a connection base (5) of said sources to be mounted within them.

  • Patent number: 5779354
    Abstract: A modular support structure for lighting apparatuses, as well as other electrical and electronic devices and their relative instrumentation, comprising a plurality of modular elements (1) having a box-like form with an open main face (2), through which the devices are visible, as well as a series of consecutive faces (6,7,8) which are angled in succession and form connection surfaces for adjacent modular elements. Modular element (1) preferably comprises a first pair of faces (6) orthogonal to the main face, a second pair of faces (7) consecutive with the first pair of faces and angled with respect to them and a third face (8) which unites the two faces of the second pair and is substantially parallel to the main face. Preferably, the faces of the first and second pairs (6,7) form an angle of about 150.degree. whereas the faces of the second pair (7) are angled by about 120.degree. with the third face (8).

  • Patent number: 5609408
    Abstract: An orientation device applied to a lighting apparatus comprising a fixed support (1) to which is attached in a rotatable manner a mobile support (2) comprising a plate (3) and an ogive wall (4) to the inside of which a spotlight (5) with the relative light socket (6) is fixed. The rotatable connection (7) between the mobile support (2) and the fixed support (1) makes it possible to extract the first from the second. The fixed support (1) comprises an external ring (8) in which an internal ring (9) engages circumferentially in a sliding manner. To the internal ring (9) is fixed the end (11a) of a rack (11) which is curved in a circular arc and which meshes with a pinion (14) connected in a rotatable and frictioned manner to the mobile support (2). The extraction of the light is easily carried out from the outside without having to dismount the lamp or intervene on the locking means and, furthermore, can be motorised.
