Abstract

Abstract Luminaire with adjustable mounting means for securing the luminaire to a supporting pipe. The mounting means comprises a slipfitter having a base plate on which a pair of spaced U-bolts are adjustably mounted for clamping engagement with the supporting pipe inserted therein, a pair of spaced L-shaped brace members secured to the plate on opposite sides of the slipfitter axis, and a pair of L-shaped bracket members secured to the luminaire, the bracket members being adjustably secured to the respective spaced brace members for adjustment about an axis normal to the slipfitter axis. The slipfitter arrangement provides for adjustment of the luminaire separately about the two axes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 122 words
Mounting device for a luminaire adapted to be mounted on an elongated support comprising, in combination, a support member, a pair of spaced bracket members secured to and projecting from said support member, a base member spaced from said support member, a pair of brace members secured to said base member and projecting therefrom toward said support member in juxtaposed relation respectively to said bracket members, and clamping means adjustably secured to said base member defining a passage between said brace members for receiving the elongated support along the axis of said passage and for clamping the same therein, said bracket members respectively being adjustably secured to said brace members for adjustment relative thereto about an axis transverse said first mentioned axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 122 words
Mounting device for a luminaire adapted to be mounted on an elongated support comprising, in combination, a support member, a pair of spaced bracket members secured to and projecting from said support member, a base member spaced from said support member, a pair of brace members secured to said base member and projecting therefrom toward said support member in juxtaposed relation respectively to said bracket members, and clamping means adjustably secured to said base member defining a passage between said brace members for receiving the elongated support along the axis of said passage and for clamping the same therein, said bracket members respectively being adjustably secured to said brace members for adjustment relative thereto about an axis transverse said first mentioned axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A device as defined in claim 1, said brace members and said bracket members comprising plate-like members, said bracket members being arranged in overlapping relation with the respective brace members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 202 words
Mounting device for a luminaire adapted to be mounted on an elongated support comprising, in combination, a support member, a pair of spaced bracket members secured to and projecting from said support member, a base member spaced from said support member, a pair of brace members secured to said base member and projecting therefrom toward said support member in juxtaposed relation respectively to said bracket members, and clamping means adjustably secured to said base member defining a passage between said brace members for receiving the elongated support along the axis of said passage and for clamping the same therein, said bracket members respectively being adjustably secured to said brace members for adjustment relative thereto about an axis transverse said first mentioned axis, said brace members and said bracket members comprising plate-like members, said bracket members being arranged in overlapping relation with the respective brace members, first connecting means securing each bracket member to the adjacent brace member along said transverse axis, each bracket member having a slot and being secured to the adjacent brace member by second fastening means passing through said slot, whereby said bracket member is adjustable to selected positions relative to said brace member about said first connecting means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 202 words
Mounting device for a luminaire adapted to be mounted on an elongated support comprising, in combination, a support member, a pair of spaced bracket members secured to and projecting from said support member, a base member spaced from said support member, a pair of brace members secured to said base member and projecting therefrom toward said support member in juxtaposed relation respectively to said bracket members, and clamping means adjustably secured to said base member defining a passage between said brace members for receiving the elongated support along the axis of said passage and for clamping the same therein, said bracket members respectively being adjustably secured to said brace members for adjustment relative thereto about an axis transverse said first mentioned axis, said brace members and said bracket members comprising plate-like members, said bracket members being arranged in overlapping relation with the respective brace members, first connecting means securing each bracket member to the adjacent brace member along said transverse axis, each bracket member having a slot and being secured to the adjacent brace member by second fastening means passing through said slot, whereby said bracket member is adjustable to selected positions relative to said brace member about said first connecting means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
A device as defined in claim 3, said first and second connecting means being in vertically spaced alignment.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 67 words
A device as defined in claim 2, said brace members being substantially L-shaped with leg portions thereof resting on said base member and having end edges facing each other in spaced relation on opposite sides of said first mentioned axis, whereby the support member may be clamped against said end edges of said brace members for holding the mounting device in tight engagement with the support member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 26 words
A device as defined in claim 2, said clamping means comprising a pair of U-bolts arranged spaced on said base member along said first mentioned axis.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 152 words
A luminaire comprising, in combination, a support member, a first housing covering one side of said support member, a second housing covering the opposite side of said support member, and slipfitter means secured to said support member for mounting the luminaire on an elongated support, said slipfitter means comprising a pair of spaced bracket members secured to and projecting from said support member, a base member spaced from said support member, a pair of brace members secured to said base member and projecting therefrom toward said support member in juxtaposed relation respectively to said bracket members, and clamping means adjustably secured to said base member defining a passage between said brace members for receiving the elongated support along the axis of said passage and for clamping the same therein, said bracket members respectively being adjustably secured to said brace members for adjustment relative thereto about an axis transverse said first mentioned axis.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 152 words
A luminaire comprising, in combination, a support member, a first housing covering one side of said support member, a second housing covering the opposite side of said support member, and slipfitter means secured to said support member for mounting the luminaire on an elongated support, said slipfitter means comprising a pair of spaced bracket members secured to and projecting from said support member, a base member spaced from said support member, a pair of brace members secured to said base member and projecting therefrom toward said support member in juxtaposed relation respectively to said bracket members, and clamping means adjustably secured to said base member defining a passage between said brace members for receiving the elongated support along the axis of said passage and for clamping the same therein, said bracket members respectively being adjustably secured to said brace members for adjustment relative thereto about an axis transverse said first mentioned axis.
