This base then also further comprises a lockable cover (112) that is configured and arranged to selectively and reversibly seal the access port to deny end user access to the electrical conductors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2008Publication date: October 1, 2009Inventors: Ronald Edward Anglikowski, David Scott Bullard, William Calvin Raper, Jeremy Lee Prichard

Publication number: 20090244909Abstract: An improved LED assembly comprises a frame and a circuit substrate. The frame has a slot, which has an opening on the upper surface of the frame. An elongated inverted L-shaped structure is formed on either side of the opening, and one or more conductive strips are formed on the inner side of the elongated inverted L-shaped structure. Therefore, electricity may be supplied to the conductive strips of the frame. In assembly, the circuit substrate is slid into the slot of the frame so that each of the conductive strips of the circuit substrate is engaged with the corresponding conductive strip of the frame. Therefore, electricity from the electric source may be fed from the source through the conductive strip of the frame and the conductive strip of the circuit substrate and then to the light-emitting units so that each of the light-emitting units may be powered up.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Inventor: Ya-Huei CHEN

Patent number: 7588354Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture has a housing sidewall with a lip around a bottom aperture and a vertical T-slot receiving a locking assembly mounting the housing in an opening in a ceiling with the lip around a lower edge of the opening. The locking assembly has a support member with a lower strut portion and an upper attachment portion pivotally connected to a latching member. The strut portion has legs inserted through the slot so that edges of opposite walls and an axial end of a channel section base provide a U-shape line contact with the ceiling upper surface and upper teeth engage friction surfaces on opposite outside edge portions of the slot. The latching member has a handle carrying a tongue wedged between the legs by pivoting to engage locking feet with friction surfaces on opposite inside edge portions of the slot retaining the lighting fixture in the ceiling.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: WAC Lighting Co.Inventors: Dunping Hu, Vincent Yang

Publication number: 20090219725Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a helicoidal system for securing a recessed light fixture assembly into an opening in a ceiling, wall or the like; the assembly comprises a light reflector having an upper collar and a light reflector support for mounting the light reflector into the opening of the ceiling, wall or the like. The light reflector support has an upper member that engages the upper part of the light reflector and has a helicoidal bearing surface to receive lugs provided on the light reflector whereby rotation of the light reflector, once received in the light reflector support, enables engagement in one rotational direction, and disengagement in an opposite rotational direction, of the light reflector to and from the reflector support.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2009Publication date: September 3, 2009Inventors: Marc Pelletier, Jacques Mercier, Jayson Auger

Patent number: 7572047Abstract: Disclosed are a backlight assembly and an LCD apparatus that includes the backlight assembly. A first receiving container has at least two members that can be combined into a frame and receive a plurality of lamps and a light diffusing member. A receiving container may be fabricated using the two or more members. Even though the size of the frame made of the members is small relative to the LCD apparatus, the receiving container can be used with the LCD apparatus. Accordingly, manufacturing processes of the LCD apparatus may be simplified and cost of production may be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yong-Il Kim
