Publication number: 20080170399Abstract: A lamp base for a dual-leg lamp is provided with at least one oversized leg mounting hole that permits relative movement of the lamp legs during temperature driven expansion and contraction. In one embodiment, only one leg of the lamp is glued to the lamp base. The absence of glue on one leg permits essentially free movement of the non-glued leg with respect to the base. In those embodiments that include only a single oversized leg mounting hole, the leg disposed within the oversized leg mounting hole is not glued so that the leg is free to move within the oversized hole. In those embodiments in which both leg mounting holes are oversized, it is acceptable for either (or both) of the legs to be non-glued.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2008Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: ACCESS BUSINESS GROUP INTERNATIONAL LLCInventors: William T. Stoner, Karlis Vecziedins, Michael K. Greene

Publication number: 20080137345Abstract: An improved lighting fixture is disclosed for imaging a high-intensity beam of light at a distant location. A specially-made duel parabolic reflector system cooperates with a gate aperture and a single aspheric lens to produce a beam that incorporates a very high proportion of emitted visible light. Alternatively, said fixture has two lenses in a positioning mechanism mounted in the housing, and includes a rack and pinion gear device that adjusts the distance between the front and rear lenses in response to the rotation of an actuator. The actuator is configured to slide along a slot in the housing, controlling the translation of the first and second lenses with respect to the gate aperture. A shielding baffle covers the slot. The actuator is further configured with a locking mechanism that constrains the actuator from being moved with respect to the housing when the locking mechanism is in position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Inventor: Randal Lee Wimberly
