Definitions

  • the present invention is related to lighting fixtures. More specifically, the present invention is related to lighting fixture connector assemblies.
  • Lighting fixtures such as luminaires, can be suspended from a support, such as a ceiling, at a height that can be ten feet or more in the air from a ground surface.
  • a lighting fixture is often connected to other lighting fixtures to form continuous rows.
  • lighting fixtures are constructed of metal and are of moderate weight. While the lighting fixtures can have a relatively small cross-section, their length generally ranges from about 4-8 feet. These characteristics can make lighting fixtures difficult to handle.
  • Other conventional lighting fixture assemblies require joining adjacent lighting fixtures in a linear fashion.
  • two lighting fixtures are joined by positioning the lighting fixtures parallel to one another and abutting the fixtures against one another (e.g., end-to-end).
  • the lighting fixtures are joined using multiple pairs of fasteners (screws, nuts and bolts, and other similar retainer devices).
  • screws are provided on each side of the lighting fixture to form a joint by connecting end sections of each lighting fixture.
  • the joint of the adjacent light fixtures must be tight to provide a weight transfer through the joint.
  • the act of mounting the fixtures at heights about 10 feet in the air is cumbersome. This mounting typically requires at least two installers and a significant time commitment to complete the assembly process.
  • lighting fixtures are joined using a pin end connector and a knuckle end connector.
  • the pin end connector includes a protrusion having at least one wall and a rotational fastener configured to be received through and retained by the wall.
  • the rotational fastener is configured to be removably connected from the wall of the protrusion.
  • the knuckle end connector includes a discontinuous seat having a first opening configured to receive the protrusion and a second opening configured to receive the rotational fastener.
  • the pin end connector is configured to be received by the knuckle end connector and pivotally rotate to attach the pin end connector assembly with the knuckle end connector.
  • the pin end connector is configured to rotate a first lighting fixture about a pivot point from a first position to a second lighting fixture to a second position to the second lighting fixture.
  • the first position forms an angle of separation between the first lighting fixture and the second lighting fixture along the axial length of each fixture.
  • the second position is substantially parallel to the second lighting fixture.
  • the pin end connector further includes one or more support tab members and the knuckle end connector further includes one or more support tab connectors.
  • the support tab connectors are configured to receive at least a portion of the support tab members.
  • Another advantage is the lighting fixtures, when continuously joined, can be removed and reinstalled without removing adjacent lighting fixtures.
  • the ability to disjoin and rejoin continuous lighting fixtures may reduce the time of removal and installation during maintenance.
  • FIG. 1 illustration of a lighting fixture 100 in accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention.
  • the lighting fixture 100 includes a fixture housing 200 and one or both of a pin end support 400 and a knuckle end support 500.
  • the fixture housing 200 is typically elongated having an axial length L, a height H, a width. In accordance with some embodiments, the axial length L is greater than the height H.
  • the lighting fixture 100 can have a first width W1 and a second width W2. For example, where the lighting fixture 100 has a trapezoidal cross-section, as illustrated, the lighting fixture 100 has the first width W1 that is greater than the second width W2.
  • Other cross-sectional geometric shapes are considered within the scope of this invention, such as circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, diamonds, and hexagons, among others.
  • the axial length L and the second width W2 form a first plane P1 on one surface of the height.
  • the axial length L and the first width W1 form a second plane (not visible) separate from and parallel to the first plane P1.
  • the first plane P1 may be used to affix the lighting fixture 100 to another surface (e.g., a ceiling mount) and the second plane (not visibly illustrated) may be used as a light-emitting surface (not illustrated) covering at least a portion of the axial length L.
  • the fixture housing 200 includes a first end 210a located at one end of the axial length L and a second end 210b located at a second end of the axial length L opposite the first end 210a.
  • the fixture housing 200 is integrally formed with connector assemblies (e.g., a pin end support 400 and a knuckle end support 500, described below) for joining one lighting fixture to an adjacent lighting fixture.
  • the ends (210a, 210b) can be manufactured to include the pin end support 400 or the knuckle end support 500.
  • the ends (210a, 210b) are not integrally formed with connector assemblies.
  • the first end 210a and the second end 210b of the fixture housing 200 each include a contact edge (not illustrated).

  • the pin end support 400 is provided on the first end 210a and the knuckle end support 500 is provided on the second end 210b. This arrangement allows each lighting fixture 100 to be connected in series with another lighting fixture 100 for a continuous lighting structure.
  • the lighting fixture can include the pin end support 400 or the knuckle end support 500 on the first end 210a and the second end 210b.
  • the lighting fixtures 100 having only pin end supports 400 can be joined with lighting fixtures having knuckle end supports on the first end 210a and the second end 210b.

In another embodiment, the protrusion 430 is positioned to conceal the protrusion 430 within the fixture housing 200 such that the protrusion 430 does not extend beyond the second pin-end support 420.
  • the protrusion 430 can be made of any durable and rigid material suitable for the application of lighting installation. Suitable materials may include a wide-array of plastic and/or metal materials.
  • the protrusion 430 may be formed (e.g., manufactured) using any number of methods, including but not limited to injection molding and/or sheet metal formation. Methods may form the protrusion 430 independent of or formed with other features within the second pin-end support side 420.

  • the tubes 434 are positioned on an axis separate from and parallel to the axial length L of the fixture housing 200.
  • the tubes 434 are configured to receive and retain a fastener.
  • Such fasteners can include, but are not limited to, pins, screws, nuts and bolts, and the like.

  • Re-joining occurs by securing fastener(s) through the apertures 555 of the adjacent lighting fixture 100 into the tubes 434 of the replaced lighting fixture 100.
  • the tubes 434 may be used to join two lighting fixtures 100 together on co-linear planes.
