| 20090221175 | Wire Harness Interconnection and Retention Method and Apparatus - A smaller conductor having an uninsulated portion and an insulated portion is positioned adjacent a larger conductor having an insulated portion and a conductive portion within said insulated portion and the two conductors are joined by a discontinuous metal band having respective ends extending across a top portion of said insulated portion to make electrical contact with said uninsulated portion, then bending downward on one side and then upward and through said insulated portion such that a first of said ends is positioned within said insulation and in contact with said conductive portion; the metal band bending downward on a second side and then upward and through said insulated portion such that a second of said ends is positioned within said insulation and in contact with said conductive portion | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100091489 | Seat Light and Plaque Holder - A seat light comprising a lamp shade component having a vertical back edge and an arcuate hood and a rectangular shroud component mountable within the lamp shade and encasing a circuit board carrying a plurality of LED's wherein the positioning of the LED's and shape of the hood cooperate to direct light down toward an adjacent aisleway, while concealing the shroud and LED's from normal view. A cooperating plaque holder adapted to be illuminated by the seat light is also disclosed. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100091494 | RAIL LIGHT - A stair rail light attachable between first and second vertical stair rail posts and having an elongated central housing whose interior mounts an extrusion designed to hold and position a plurality of LED carrier members wherein the housing slidably engages respective mounting plugs pivotally attached to respective stair rail posts, thereby permitting the length of the rail light to be adjusted in the field. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100132192 | Wire Harness Interconnection and Retention Method and Apparatus - A smaller conductor having an uninsulated portion and an insulated portion is positioned adjacent a larger conductor having an insulated portion and a conductive portion located within the insulated portion of the larger conductor. The two conductors are joined by a discontinuous metal band having respective ends extending across a top portion of the insulated portion of the larger conductor to make electrical contact with the uninsulated portion of the smaller conductor, then bending downward on one side of the conductor pair and then upward and through the insulated portion of the larger conductor such that a first of the ends of the metal band is positioned in contact with the conductive portion of the larger conductor; the metal band bending downward on the opposite side of the conductor pair and then upward and through the insulated portion of the larger conductor such that a second of the ends of the metal band is positioned in contact with the conductive portion of the larger conductor. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100242382 | FIELD FORMABLE STEP NOSE SYSTEM - A step nose is formed having a tread portion and a riser portion, formed initially as a flat strip, the tread portion having a receiving slot formed therein, and the riser portion having a hook formed as part thereof. The tread and riser portions are stretchable with respect to one another so as to enable the hook to interlockingly engage the slot when the tread and riser portions of the flat strip are bent towards one another to thereby form a step nose ready for installation. Machines are further disclosed for forming the flat step nose strip into an assembled state by bending the tread and riser portions and interlocking them together. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110032703 | Seat Light and Backlit Plaque Holder - A seat light and plaque holder including a seat light base having a downwardly angled mounting surface and an upwardly angled mounting surface with a first plurality of LEDs mounted on the downwardly angled mounting surface and a second plurality of LEDs is mounted on the upwardly angled mounting surface. A light cover is attached to the seat light base having a row marker positioned thereon to be backlit by the second plurality of LEDs and an end portion of a length selected to shield the downwardly angled first plurality of LEDs from view of persons walking up or down an aisleway while directing illumination towards an aisleway. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110222268 | Wall Mounted Aisle, Step and Corridor Light System - A wall light system including a single piece wall mount extrusion having a vertical rear mounting surface and a horizontally extending light shield. The interior of the vertical rear mounting surface has first and second projections extending therefrom defining a first slot, while the interior of the light shield has a downwardly extending vertical projection and a horizontal projection formed thereon, which together define a second slot. A lampholder has lower and upper tongues positioned to snap fit into the first and second slots, respectively, and mounts a circuit board which carries one or more LEDs. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110223783 | ARMORED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - An electrical connector which facilitates electrical interconnection of adjacent lighting fixtures and includes a female connector half and male connector half, each having first and second horizontally disposed passageways formed therein. The male connector half further has a male ground pin positioned to mate with a female ground slot formed in the female connector half. A female insert is positioned in each of the passageways of the female connector half and has an interior shaped and dimensioned to receive and retain a male electrical connector pin while a male insert is positioned in each passageway of the male connector half and has an interior shaped and dimensioned to receive and retain a female electrical connector pin. The connector and ground pins are so positioned that a ground connection is established prior to the establishment of electrical continuity between the connector pins when the male connector half is “plugged into” the female connector half. | 09-15-2011 |
