  • Patent number: 11732875
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of mounting a lighting appliance that can be easily attached to a building material, a mounting structure for a lighting appliance, a lighting appliance, and a method of constructing a building. An electrical cable of a power supply unit disposed at a position that does not overlap a mounting hole on a rear side of a building material is passed through an inner opening of an annular mounting bracket, and a power supply side connector provided at an end portion of the electrical cable is positioned on a front side of the building material. The power supply side connector is connected to a lighting appliance side connector fixed to an upper surface of a fitting adapter provided on a rear surface of a lighting appliance body on a side opposite to a light emitting surface.

  • Patent number: 11408594
    Abstract: A light fixture assembly for mounting on a mounting surface of a building material includes: a light fixture. The light fixture comprises a main body comprising a back side surface and a light transmissive side surface opposing the back side surface. The main body has a first dimension from a first lateral edge to a second lateral edge opposing the first lateral edge that is greater than a second dimension from the back side surface to the light transmissive side surface. The assembly further includes a mounting adapter provided at the back side surface, and a plate spring provided at the back side surface and extending along a first direction from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge. The plate spring is configured to apply a restoring force to the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge.

  • Patent number: 11079096
    Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a light source module having a base with a surface having first and second lateral edges, and a plurality of light sources disposed on the surface of the base. A cover disposed over the light source module includes a light-transmissive main surface terminating at third and fourth lateral edges. A first light-transmissive side surface extends from the third lateral edge towards the first lateral edge, and a second light-transmissive side surface extends from the fourth lateral edge towards the second lateral edge. The first lateral edge is laterally offset by a first distance from a first orthogonal reference plane with respect to the third lateral edge, and the second lateral edge is laterally offset by a second distance from a second orthogonal reference plane with respect to the fourth lateral edge.
