Warning light housing

Claim 2

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a cantilever base presenting a supporting platform; an upstanding pier on said base with an inboard face and an exterior mounting face; a through bolt having a headed end an an opposite end, and directed through said pier for securing the cantilever base to an object; a mounting nut disposed on the opposite end of said through bolt; and a removable casing fitting over said base with a pivoted connection at one end thereof, said casing having a side wall with a notch of a configuration substantially mating with said pier, fitting over the pier as the casing is swung about said pivoted connection.

Claim 3

The combination of claim 1 in which the cantilever base comprises: a rectangular plate with a pair of extending lugs on one end and a node with a screw bore projecting from the underside of the opposite end; an upstanding pier having an inboard segment overlying a central portion of the plate and an outboard segment defining rising side surfaces facing towards the ends of the base, an arched upper surface spanning the side surfaces and a mounting face directed to the side of said base; a strengthening rib transversely positioned atop of said base, overlying the remaining central portion of the plate in line with the upstanding pier and merging with said pier; a vertical shroud rising from said base along the edge of the side at which said pier is located, and which merges with the pier as a demarcation between said inboard and outboard pier segments.

Claim 4

The combination of claim 1 in which the removable casing comprises a rectangular shaped enclosure having: an end wall with connector slots formed to slidably receive the projecting lugs of said base; a second end wall with a screw aperture surrounded by a circular recess; a side wall with an arcuate notch of a configuration which substantially conforms to said pier of the base; and an open bottom of a size to accept said base.

Claim 5

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a cantilever base presenting a supporting platform and having: an upstanding pier located substantially medial the ends and at one side of the base, which pier has an inboard segment which has an inboard face and overlies a portion of the base, an overhanging outboard segment with rising side surfaces facing toward the ends of the platform, an arched upper surface spanning the side surfaces, and a mounting face directed to the side of said base; a vertical shroud rising from said base along the edge of the side at which said pier is located, and which merges with the pier as a demarcation between said inboard and outboard pier segments; a ridge that extends from said side and upper surfaces of said pier and that forms a channel between the ridge and said shroud; a through bolt passing through said pier with a headed end at said inboard face of the pier, and an opposite end that protrudes from said mounting face; a mounting nut on said opposite end of said bolt that protrudes from said mounting face; a cup on said bolt that closely surrounds said mounting nut; and a removable casing fitting over said base with a pivoted connection at one end of the base, said casing having a side wall with an arcuate notch, of a configuration substantially mating said side and arched surfaces of said pier, fitting over the pier as the casing is swung about said pivoted connection.

Claim 6

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a cantilever base presenting a supporting platform and having: an upstanding pier located substantially medial the ends and at one side of the base, which pier has an inboard segment which has an inboard face and overlies a portion of the base, an overhanging outboard segment with rising side surfaces facing toward the ends of the platform, an arched upper surface spanning the side surfaces, and a mounting face directed to the side of said base; a vertical shroud rising from said base along the edge of the side at which said pier is located, and which merges with the pier as a demarcation between said inboard and outboard pier segments; a ridge that extends from said side and upper surfaces of said pier and that forms a channel between the ridge and said shroud; a through bolt passing through said pier with a headed end at said inboard face of the pier, and an opposite end that protrudes from said mounting face; a mounting nut on said opposite end of said bolt that protrudes from said mounting face; a cup on said bolt that closely surrounds said mounting nut; and a removable casing fitting over said base with a pivoted connection at one end of the base, said casing having a side wall with an arcuate notch, of a configuration substantially mating said side and arched surfaces of said pier, fitting over the pier as the casing is swung about said pivoted connection.

Claim 7

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a cantilever base presenting a platform for supporting electric circuit components and having: a thin, vertical shroud rising from the platform along one side of the base, and a pier rising upward from the platform at the same side of the base at which said shroud is located, which pier merges with the shroud and presents a mounting face outboard of the shroud; an elongate mounting member protruding outward from said mounting face for securing the cantilever base to an object; and a removable casing that fits over said base and around the outside of the shroud, said casing also having a notch that mates with said pier and which allows said mounting face to protrude from the housing.

Claim 8

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a cantilever base presenting a platform for supporting electric circuit components and having: a thin, vertical shroud rising from the platform along one side of the base, and a pier rising upward from the platform at the same side of the base at which said shroud is located, which pier merges with the shroud and presents a mounting face outboard of the shroud; an elongate mounting member protruding outward from said mounting face for securing the cantilever base to an object; and a removable casing that fits over said base and around the outside of the shroud, said casing also having a notch that mates with said pier and which allows said mounting face to protrude from the housing.

Claim 9

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a base presenting a platform for supporting electric circuit components; an upstanding pier located at one side of the base which has an inboard portion overlying and rising upward from the base, an outboard portion overhanging from the base which presents an outwardly facing mounting surface, and a channel in said outboard portion; mounting means extending from the pier for securing the base to an object; and a casing fitting over said base which rises above the base to provide a substantial enclosed space above said platform, such casing surrounding and extending below the peripheral edges of said base, and having a notch in a side wall thereof that mates with and has the notch periphery fit within said channel.

Claim 10

In a housing for a warning light the combination comprising: a base presenting a platform for supporting electric circuit components; an upstanding pier located at one side of the base which has an inboard portion overlying and rising upward from the base, an outboard portion overhanging from the base which presents an outwardly facing mounting surface, and a channel in said outboard portion; mounting means extending from the pier for securing the base to an object; and a casing fitting over said base which rises above the base to provide a substantial enclosed space above said platform, such casing surrounding and extending below the peripheral edges of said base, and having a notch in a side wall thereof that mates with and has the notch periphery fit within said channel.
