Patent number: 10139061Abstract: Lighting fixtures having adjustable components configured to accommodate the application of force (e.g., from a moving patient bed) are provided. In one example embodiment, a lighting fixture can include a housing configured to house a light source. The lighting fixture can include a mounting bracket configured to attach with the housing to secure the housing to a surface. The mounting bracket can include a guide mechanism. The guide mechanism can define a guide channel. The housing is attachable to the mounting bracket such that at least a portion of the housing can move relative to the mounting bracket along the guide channel of the guide mechanism when a force is applied to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: John Hollander, Raymond A.
