Patent number: 10274170Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of luminaires. More specifically, the present disclosure envisages a drain arrangement for use with a luminaire that is supported on a wiring conduit via a junction box. The arrangement includes a hood coupled with the junction box via a connecting conduit, wherein connection cables from the wiring conduit are received within the hood via the connecting conduit and the junction box. An adaptor extends from the hood and the luminaire. The adaptor is defined by a sidewall extending from the luminaire and has an operative top surface configured on an operative top periphery of the sidewall. The adaptor further includes an annular inner sidewall configured to circumscribe an electric connection of the luminaire. A drain conduit extends from the adaptor and is configured to drain out the fluid collected within the adaptor outside of the annular inner sidewall.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Appleton Grp LLCInventors: Santosh K. Patil, Vinaya N. Kubsad, Harish P. Kulkarni, Harsha N. Devappa, William Leber, Timothy E. Graff
