Patent number: 10317058Abstract: A support arm device is pivotally connected between first and second link members, and includes a main arm, a seat member, an adjusting member, a driven member and a resilient member. The main arm is pivotally connected to the first and second link members. The seat member is movable relative to the main arm. The adjusting member is rotatably mounted to the main arm. The driven member is movably mounted to the main arm. Rotation of the adjusting member drives movement of the driven member to adjust a distance between the driven member and the seat member. The resilient member is coupled to the driven member and the seat member.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Modernsolid Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chin-Jui Hung, Chun-Hung Yeh

Patent number: 10317059Abstract: There is proposed a lamp support and corresponding connectable swivel assembly for a luminaire. The lamp support comprises a locking arrangement adapted to engage with the interlock element of the swivel assembly. The locking arrangement comprises a deformable portion mounted on a surface of the lamp support. The deformable portion is adapted to be movable relative to the surface of the lamp support so as to move from a first position, in which the swivel assembly is connectable to the locking arrangement so as to permit connection of the swivel member from the lamp support, to a second position, in which the locking arrangement cooperates with the interlock element to prevent removal of the swivel member from the lamp support.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventor: Thomas Van Den Steen

Patent number: 10317060Abstract: A lighting fixture can comprise a substantially flat sheet of metal supporting a circuit that comprises one or more light emitting diodes with one or more associated optics for manipulating emitted light. The circuit can be attached to, mounted next to, or integrated with the sheet of metal. In some examples, a layer of dielectric material adheres to the sheet of metal, and circuit elements adhere to the layer of dielectric material. Such circuit elements may comprise electrical traces, light emitting diodes, and/or a light emitting diode driver. The sheet of metal can provide a substrate for the circuit or a support for a freestanding circuit board that may be rigid or flexible.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Sridhar Reddy Nimma, Matthew A. Davis

Patent number: 10317062Abstract: An end cap for a solid-state lighting device is described that provides an electrical connection(s) between an external power source and at least one solid-state emitter disposed in a hollow member of the lighting device. An outer wall extends a first distance and an inner wall extends a second distance from an inward-facing side of the end cap base. A gap between the inner wall and the outer wall accommodates the insertion of the hollow member. A contactor electrically coupled to a conductive member on an opposite side of the end cap extends into the gap. The contactor exerts a force on a flexible conductor and provides a power supply path to or power return path from the at least one solid-state emitter. Preferably, the lighting device includes an array of solid-state emitters disposed on a flexible substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: LEDVANCE LLCInventors: Richard Speer, Kenneth Grossman
