Definitions

  • a light cover is generally shown, wherein this light cover is possessed of two sections: an upper and a lower section.
  • the two sections of the light cover are provided such that the upper section can be semi-permanently fixed in the room where light is required, and the lighting means is contained generally therein.
  • the cover is provided in order to both protect the lighting means, as well as to perhaps provide a diffusive element such that the light from the lighting means is mixed and defused around the room.
  • this sort of lighting housing is extremely well known in office and working environments, as well as in some homes.
  • the two sections In order to allow ready access to the lighting means inside the housing, the two sections must be held together in a disengageable manner. Typically, this has been achieved by means of a simple clip as can be seen in Figure 1 .
  • a standard clip is shown, with a fixing point to the upper section.
  • This fixing point provides some form of rotatable fixing means, such that the clip rotates around this and when pushed, the clip will engage the two halves of the cover.
  • the clip needs to be disengaged, the lower portion of the clip must be pulled out of clipping engagement, such that the two parts of the cover can be pulled apart.
  • the DE 30 21 850 A1 shows a light cover clip for holding together a first and second part of the light cover with fixing means.
  • the clip comprises an upper and an lower end, wherein the lower end is hinge-likely forced into the lower section of the light cover.
  • the upper end of the clip is detachable engaged with the upper section of the light cover. For detaching the lower section from the upper section it is necessary to pull at an elongation of the clip located on the upper end thereof.
  • the US 5 172 976 discloses a light cover with a light fixture housing and a light lens, wherein a pair of latch/hinge assemblies are on one side of the light lens and pair of latch assemblies on the other side of the light lens.
  • the latch and latch/hinge are identical except for role pins attached to latch/hinge. To unlatch the assembly, the user manually pulls on a surface of one of the latches (or hinge) so that a latch connector moves upwardly and outwardly.
  • the EP 0 726 420 A1 describes a lamp with a two-part cover.
  • This cover is possessed from an upper and a lower section, wherein the lower section is detachable connected to the upper section by an fastening device.
  • the fastening device comprises C-shaped clasps to latch the device, the user manually push an upper claw-shaped end of the clasp. To unlatch the assembly again, the user manually pulls on the same upper claw-shaped end of the clasp.
  • the lighting covers and lights that are shown in Figure 1 or are described in above mentioned documents respectively are suspended or held on the ceiling of the room in which the light is required.
  • the person desiring to remove the two parts of the housing from mated engagement is often up a ladder or other raising means, and is attempting to perform the act of clip disengagement with arms above his or her head.
  • this provides the user with a non-trivial task, as operating such clipping means in such circumstances is not easy.
  • an object of the current invention to provide a clip and light in which a simple method and operation of the clip is included.
  • the object is to provide a clip which can be readily engaged and disengaged, without a great deal of effort on the part of the user.
  • the light cover clip according to claim 1 is primarily provided for holding together sections of a light cover.
  • light covers are provided in two parts, one of which lies generally above the other.
  • the light cover clip is intended to hold together these two pieces of light cover, and does so by having fixing means by which it attaches to one or other of the light cover parts.
  • the light clip is possessed of an extending elongate portion which extends from the fixing means. At the end of the elongate portion is provided a first clip-like portion, which is intended to fasten the two parts of the light cover together. Obviously, the first clip-like portion clips on to the parts of the light cover to which the clip is not attached.
  • At least one section of this first elongate portion interacts in such a manner with the fixing means that when the light cover clip is attached to the light cover, it keeps the first clip-like portion at the end of the first elongate portion away from the joining part of the first and second cover parts. That is, the light clip could be considered as a 'normally open clip'.
  • the first elongate portion In order to use the clip to grip the first and second parts of the cover together, the first elongate portion must be pushed towards the light cover, such that the first clip-like portion overlaps the joint between the first and second cover parts, and holds them together.
  • the cover is provided with a gripping point which the first clip-like portion can grip hold of.
  • the cover is also provided with some form of fixing point, which interacts appropriately with the fixing means of the clip.
  • this section of the first elongate portion is held in some form of bending tension as a result of the fixing means and the light cover.
  • the light cover clip is further provided with a second elongate portion which extends from the fixing means.
  • This second elongate portion extends in a direction which is generally opposite the direction of the first elongate portion.
  • This second elongate portion provides a pushing surface in order that the light clip can readily be disengaged from its holding arrangement.
  • the clip rotates around the fixing means point, and is rotated in one direction to clip the two parts of the light cover together, and by means of pressure on the pushing surface on the second elongate portion, the clip will disengage from holding the first and second parts of the light cover together.
  • the fixing means attachable to the part of the cover in a non-moveable fashion. It is possible that such a non-moveable fixing means may be provided by a small extension, which extends from the fixing means parts of the clip. This extension would form an angle with regards the direction in which the first elongate portion extends. If the clip is formed with fixing means of such a design, when the clip is in a holding arrangement, the entire of the first elongate portion is held under a bending tension.
  • first elongate portion which extends from the fixing means in a different direction from that of the first elongate portion.
  • the section of the first elongate portion will extend in a direction generally towards the light cover when the clip is in position.
  • the section extending in a different direction from the first elongate portion would preferably be provided with a clip at the end thereof such that it may clip under the rim of the part of the light cover to which the clip is attached.
  • the distance between the clip on the section of the elongate portion and the fixing means is the same as the distance between the rim of the part of the cover to which the clip is attached and the fixing point for the fixing means of the clip to the cover. As such, the light cover clip would be maintained on the light cover, and would not fall off.
  • the fixing means are held at the fixing point on the cover in a rotatable manner. This allows for the clip to be rotated around the fixing means, such that pressure on the first elongate portion will cause the clip to engage and hold the first and second part of the cover together. Pushing on the second elongate portion will cause rotation of the clip in the other direction, such that the clip disengages from holding the first and second portion of the light cover together.
  • the fixing means are provided by another clip-like portion, which clips into a relevant holding section on the light cover.
  • a light which comprises a light cover having first and second parts.
  • This light cover can be held together by the clip as discussed above, and is fashioned such that it interacts appropriately.
  • the first or second part of the light cover is provided with a fixing point that interacts with either the extension or the clipping means of the light clip.
  • a gripping portion is provided which will interact with the clip-like portion at the end of the first elongate portion.
  • a recessed portion such that the second elongate portion can be housed when the clip is in non-holding engagement.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of one end of a light 8.
  • the light 8 has a cover 2, which is typically made of plastic.
  • This cover 2 is shown with two parts: a first part 3 and a second part 4.
  • the first part is highlighted as the lower cover and the second part 4 is highlighted as the fixed cover, which is intended to be semi-permanently fixed to the room in which the light 8 is positioned.
  • the cover 2 is split into the two-parts 3, 4, so as to allow ready access in to the interior of the cover 2.
  • the interior of the cover 2 is intended to house the lighting means, which can be any known lighting means.
  • the light cover 2 can be of any shape and design, and can be intended to house a selection of bulbs rather than a fluorescent strip.
  • the precise shape and design of the light cover 2 is not considered to be limiting.
  • This light cover clip 1 is of a "push-push" design, in that for both opening and closing the clip a pushing action is utilised. That is, to close the light cover clip 1 and hold together the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 one merely needs to position the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 in the appropriate mating fashion, and push the lower part of the light cover clip 1 inwards towards the light cover 2, so as to engage the clip and hold the first and second part of the light cover 3, 4 together. Similarly, when wishing to disengage the light cover clip 1 from the holding position, one merely needs to push the upper section of the light cover clip 1 in the direction towards the light cover 2. This will cause the rotation of the light cover clip 1 which will then cause the light clip 1 to disengage from holding the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4.
  • Figures 3A and 3B show a second possible design for the light cover clip 1.
  • this light cover clip 1 according to Figures 3A and 3B is of the "push-push" design.
  • FIG 3B when the lower part of the light cover 2, given the reference numeral 3, is brought into a mating position with the upper part of the light cover 2, given reference numeral 4, it is possible to push on the lower part of the light cover clip 1 to engage and hold the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 together.
  • the light cover 2 needs to be dismantled, it is a simple matter to push the upper section of the light cover clip 1 and disengage the light cover clip 1 from holding together the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4.
  • the light cover clip 1 is possessed of fixing means 10 which differ slightly for each of the two light cover clips 1 shown.
  • Figures 4 and 5 more clearly show the light cover clip 1 as seen in Figure 2 , and also more clearly show the fixing means 10 thereof.
  • the fixing means 10 in this particular light cover clip 1 are structured in such a fashion that when they interact with the light cover 2, the fixing means 10 are held in a non-movable fashion. That is, the fixing means 10 according to the light clip 1 seen in Figures 3A and B , will be held in a fixed manner to the light cover 2, and will generally hold the light cover clip firmly to said cover 2. It is important to note at this point, that each of the figures shows the fixing means 10 of the relevant light cover clip 1 as being attached to the upper section of the light cover 2. This is by way of example only, and it is perfectly within the scope of the current invention that the light cover clip 1 be attached to the lower section of the light cover 2.
  • the fixing means 10 will not be held in the light cover 2 in a non-movable manner. Indeed, the light cover clip 1 as seen in Figures 2 , 4 and 5 are provided with fixing means 10 comprising a clip-like portion 12.
  • the clip-like portion 12 of the fixing means according to the light cover clip 1 of Figures 2 , 4 and 5 , will be referred to as the third clip-like portion 12.
  • the light 8 will need to be formed from a light cover 2 which is structured such that it will interact with whichever of the light cover clips 1 is being used. It will be necessary to provide a fixing point 6 on whichever part of the light cover 3, 4 is being used for fastening the light cover clip 1 to. In the case of the light cover clip 1 seen in Figure 3 , this is perhaps most readily achieved by means of a slot into which the extension 11, assuming this is the means for non-movable fixing, can be positioned. When considering the light cover clip 1 according to Figure 2 , 4 or 5 , the fixing point 6 is perhaps best structured as some form of lip over which the third clip-like portion 12 can fix.
  • this first clip-like portion 21 is structured in such a fashion that it will be readily fastenable to whichever of the first or second parts of the light cover 3, 4 to which the light cover clip 1 is not attached. That is, the first or second part of the light cover 3, 4 which is intended to be held by the light cover clip 1 to the other part of the light cover 4, 3 is provided with a gripping point 9.
  • the simplest method of providing the gripping point 9 on the relevant part of the light cover 3, 4 is some form of lip. This lip will obviously fit within the recess of the first clip-like portion 21, and thus the light cover clip 1 will grip the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 together.
  • Both of the light cover clips 1 shown in the figures are intended to be structured such that they are normally open. That is, the light cover clips 1 are of such a design that when they are attached to whichever part of the light cover 3, 4 has the fixing point 6, the light cover clip 1 will be held in a normally open state. That is, when the other part of the light cover 4, 3 is positioned next to this part of the light cover 3, 4 the light cover clip 1 will not readily engage with the other part 4, 3. This is clearly seen in Figure 3B , wherein it is obvious that the light cover clip 1 is normally held away from gripping point 9 of the other part of the light cover 4, 3.
  • this normally open state is achieved by structuring the non-movable fixing means 10 and the first elongate portion 20 such that the first elongate portion 20 is held away from the mating region of the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4.
  • the first clip-like portion 21 will not be in a position to attach itself to the gripping point 9. It will be necessary for the user of the system to push on the first elongate portion 20 and engage the first clip-like portion 21 with the gripping point 9.
  • a second elongate portion 30 extending from the fixing means 10 in a direction generally opposite the first elongate portion 20 is a second elongate portion 30.
  • This second elongate portion 30 is provided with a pushing surface 31, which will rotate generally with the first elongate portion 20 when the clip 1 is engaged with the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4. That is, when the first elongate portion 20 of the light cover clip 1 seen in Figure 3b is pushed such that the first clip-like portion 21 engages with the gripping point 9, the second elongate portion 30 will rotate about the fixing means 10 and move away from the light cover 2.
  • the user only has to push on the pushing surface 31 of the second elongate portion 30, to cause rotation of the light cover clip 1 around the fixing means 10 and disengage the light cover clip 1. It is this action when combined with the pushing action to cause the light cover clip 1 to grip the first and second part of the light cover 3, 4, which leads to the "push-push” action of the light cover clip 1.
  • the first elongate portion 20 of the light cover clip 1 is maintained under the bending tension in its entirety.
  • the other design shown in the Figures 2 , 4 and 5 uses only a section of the first elongate portion 23 for being subjected to the bending tension.
  • the clip as seen in Figures 2 , 4 and 5 has the third clip-like portion 12 providing the fixing means 10, such that the light cover clip 1 can rotate around the fixing point 6 on the light cover 2.
  • the first elongate portion 20 extends from the fixing means 10 in order to grip the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4.
  • a section of this first elongate portion 23 also extends from the fixing means 10, and is generally in the same direction as the first elongate portion 20.
  • the section of the first elongate portion 23 extends generally opposite the second elongate portion 30 of the light cover clip 1 shown in Figures 3 , 4 and 5 .
  • the section of the first elongate portion 23 makes an angle with respect to the direction in which the first elongate portion 20 extends.
  • the section of the first elongate portion 23 extends at an angle which means it extends towards the light cover 2, when the light cover clip 1 is attached to the light cover 2.
  • the section of the first elongate portion 23 extends towards the 'inner side' of the light cover clip 1 when considering the working position on the light cover 2.
  • the section of the first elongate portion it is preferable for the section of the first elongate portion to be provided with a clip at the end thereof.
  • This clip will be referred to as the second clip-like portion 24.
  • This second clip-like portion 24 preferably is positioned such that it will clip on to the rim 7 of the part of the light cover 3, 4 to which the light cover clip 1 is attached.
  • the reason for providing this second clip-like portion is twofold.
  • the first advantage is of course that the second clip-like portion will generally hold the light cover clip 1 to the part of the light cover 3, 4.
  • the second clip-like portion 24 will be positioned at the rim 7 of the part of the light cover 3, 4, and the third clip-like portion 12 forming the fixing means 10 will also engage with the fixing point 6, such that the light cover clip 1 will be firmly held to the part of the light cover 3, 4.
  • the light cover clip 1 as seen in Figures 2 , 4 and 5 can be attached to the relevant part of the light cover 3, 4, and will not readily disengage when the light cover 2 is in use, and more particularly when the first and second part 3, 4 are not in mating arrangement.
  • the light cover clip 1 of this example also possesses the second elongate portion with the pushing surface 31.
  • the light cover clip 1 of these Figures will also operate in the "push-push” fashion, in that the first elongate portion 20 is pushed to engage the first clip-like portion 21 with the gripping point 9 on the light cover 2.
  • the pushing surface 31 on the second elongate portion 30 is pushed, and the first clip-like portion 21 disengages allowing the first and second part of the light cover 3, 4 to be disassembled.
  • the light cover clips 1 are extremely straightforward and easy to use. Additionally, with the bending tension provided by either the whole of the first elongate portion 20, as seen in Figure 3 , or the section of the first elongate portion 23, as seen in Figures 2 , 4 and 5 , the light cover clip 1 is readily disengaged by pushing the pushing surface 31. Additionally, the gripping point 9 on the light cover 2 will hold the light cover clip 1 in clipping engagement, when the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 are positioned in mated arrangement, and the light cover clip 1 is engaged.
  • this cushion section could readily be provided by some soft foam in the slot shown in the upper part of the light cover 4. This means that the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 will not generally move with respect to each other, and further provides a good seal between the two parts 3, 4. Further, as the foam is slightly deformed by bringing the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 into alignment, the lower part of the light cover 3 is generally pushed away from the upper part 4. This general pushing force between the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 will aid the gripping force which the light cover clip 1 grips the first and second part of the light cover 3, 4 together.
  • the light cover clip 1 will work without such foam, it is general and common in light covers 2, and is advantageous in improving the grip afforded by the light cover clip 1.
  • a further advantage of the foam in the mating section in the light cover 2 is that a person wishing to disengage the clips actually need only bring the first and second part of the light cover 3, 4 in closer mating arrangement, that is to further deform the foam, and the light cover clip 1 will automatically disengage as a result of the bending tension in either the first elongate portion 20 or the section thereof 23.
  • the light cover clip 1 requires a fixing means and the provision of a rotation about this fixing means, such that rotation in one direction will grip and keep the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 together. Further, rotation in the other direction will lead to the clip being disengaged, and the first and second parts of the light cover 3, 4 can be dismantled. This arrangement allows for the "push-push" operation of the light cover clip 1.
  • the further aspects as described, are advantageous features, which merely improve the working of the light cover clip 1, but need not be considered as essential features.
