  • Patent number: 6616309
    Abstract: An adjustable mount lighting system includes a housing for attachment to an anchoring structure, typically a beam within a wall, which is facilitated by the use of adjustable brackets attached to the housing using bolts and attached to the anchoring structure using screws. The housing is preferably of a rectangular shape, at least the end walls of which define a planar portion to which a light-transmitting face plate may be secured using screws. The side walls of the housing have slots therethrough into which the bolts extend, and the adjustable brackets have apertures therethrough into which the bolts simultaneously extend prior to their interconnection with their corresponding nuts. The bolts are translatable within the slots to allow adjustment of the housing with respect to the adjustable brackets, and thus allow depth adjustment of the housing with respect to the anchoring structure and the exterior surface of the face plate with respect to the adjacent structures, which may include a wall or mirror.

  • Patent number: 6474846
    Abstract: A flush lighting system includes a support ring for attachment, typically to the underside surface, of a lighting fixture containment space, and a finishing ring which can lockably engage the support ring, either directly using threaded members, or by the use of raised dimples on the support ring which interfits with a groove on the finishing ring. The finishing ring preferably contains apertures and radius grooves for accommodating plaster or dry wall compound. A raised abbreviated radial width inner surface transition lies at the inner most portion of the face of the finishing ring. Inside the raised transition and extending axially is an engagement structure for mating with the support ring, through either a groove or apertures for threaded attachment against a radially outwardly existing axial surface of the support ring.
