Claims.
This invention pertains to lighting fixtures, particularly those adapted to use with fluorescent lamps and the like.
One of the principal objects of the invention is the provision of a lamp mount and fixture of simplified construction and improved efficiency with regard to the assembly, installation, servicing, dismantling, or shipping thereof.
Another important object is the provision of a fixture of the class described having a demountable socket base or unit.
A further important object is the provision of a lamp fixture including a reflector portion providing a cavity in which ballast or other associated apparatus can be housed, and a demountable socket unit which may be fitted into said cavity for purposes of packing and shipping without disturbing the electrical connections and wiring from the socket unit to said associated apparatus in the cavity.
Yet another object is the provision of a fixture of the class described including a base, a concaveconvex reflector or belly section of elongated form mounted on said base, and arcuate socket mounts demountably interfitting with formations on said base and so contrived as to fit into the concavity of the reflector so that the socket units, and especially the protruding socket parts thereof, are out of the way, whereby to render the fixture of smaller overall extent and shape suitable for packaging and shipping purposes, the wiring of the socket elements and associated parts remaining unaffected.
Additional objects and aspects of novelty and utility peculiar to the invention pertain to details of construction and manipulation of parts of the preferred embodiment hereinafter describedin view of the annexed drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a complete fixture embodying the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a cross section, to enlarged scale, taken along lines 2-2 of Fig. 3 and looking endwise into the fixture and socket mount;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side-elevational view of the fixture looking in the direction of lines 3-3 of Fig. 2, with parts shown in section;
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of an endwise portion of the base and reflector with the demounted socket mount inserted in the cavity thereof Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the socket mount with sockets removed;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective of an end of the belly or reflector portion cooperable with the band of Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary perspective of an end 2 oi the base with interfitting portions cooperable with the socket band of Fig. 5 and the reflector of Fi 6;
Fig. 8 is a plan view of the socket mount stamping before forming up.
In Fig. l is shown a fluorescent lighting fixture which includes a base portion ID, a belly or reflector portion ll of elongated concave-convex form providing a hollow interior or cavity end plates 12, socket mounts l3, and elongated, tubular fluorescent lamps l4 seated at their ends in sockets 15. The type of fixture illustrated is in tended for ceiling mounting, and accordingly is suspended by hanger tubes or conduits lo.
Commonly, such fixtures attain several feet in length and have a proportionate girth which is reduced somewhat by removal of the lamps l4, hangers It, etc. for stock and shipping purposes.
Moreover, the invention further provide for easy removal of the otherwise protruding sockets IE to render the fixture still more compact, amon other things.
The socket mount, which is an important feature of the invention, is easily and inexpensively formed by stamping a narrow elongated sheet of metal in the pattern shown in Fig. 8, which includes the band-proper, indicated at [3A, with punched socket openings [3B and starter-cartridge openings I3C, together with a belly or reflector mounting lip BB, and endwise lug punchings I3E, the punched strip ISA being formed up into the arcuate shape shown in Fig. 5, and lugs [3E being struck up for purposes to be described.
As shown in Fig. '7, the base plate i0 is provided along its opposite longitudinal edges with channels or grooves IUA into which fit the longitudinal edges of the reflector and socket mount, respectively.
The innermost wall portion of each channel IDA is provided with a longitudinal slot HlB, Fig. 3 and Fig. 7, at the two ends thereof, into which slidably fit the ears or lugs 313 on the socket mounts, as in Figs. 2 and 3, to lock the mounts in the channels.
In the assembled relation of the parts shown in Fig. 3, the belly or reflector II overlies the lip I313 of the socket mount and is secured to the latter by screws 18, said lip being ofiset in stamp: ing so that the surfaces of the reflector and socket band are substantially flush, as also are the meeting edges thereof at l9, and to this latter end, particularly, the socket band is cut away as at 20, Figs. 5 and 8, in order that there shall not be two thicknesses of metal in the channels 10A u at the meeting line of the reflector and socket band or mount. The reflector H is further secured in position by means such as screws 21, Figs. 3 and 4, tapped into the base.
The sockets (Figs. 2 and 3) include an upright portion which projects through the openings HE, and a base portion iSA disposed interiorly of the band and secured to the latter as by screws [5B, and each socket also includes the usual starter cartridge 156, the tops of which protrude through their respective openings MC for access to removal.
Certain additional apparatus necessary to fluorescent lamp operation, such as the conventional ballast unit 25, Fig. 4, is housed within the fixture behind th reflector, and electrical connections 26 extend therefrom to each of the sockets l5 and associated starter means, such connections being by flexible wire of overlength adequate to permit some freedom of movement to the socket mounts, so that the latter may be removed from the demounted condition of Fig. 4, within the cavity of the reflector, to the mounted condition of Figs. 2 and 3, for example.
The illustrative embodiment of the fixture may be completed in assembly by attachment of ornamental and finish pieces, such as end plates [2, and socket shields [5X (Fig. 1 only) of the slip-on variety.
It is readily apparent from comparison of Figs. 2 and 4, for example, that demounting of the socket units and storage thereof within the fixture conserves space.
Upon removal from the shipping or packaging container, the socket unit may quickly and easily be assembled by sliding bands 13 into channels [0A and setting the screws 18, no attention being required to the wiring. Moreover, after the fixture is installed, should servicing of any of the sockets, wiring or associated ballast apparatus, be required, the parts are very easily accessible, it being noted that the reflector is removable without disturbing either socket mount.
The foregoing specification describes and explains in particular detail a preferred illustrative embodiment of the invention and improvements, modifications and variations of which may be effected without departing from the Scope of the invention as particularly pointed out and claimed hereinafter, as follows.
