20090010007 | Recessed Lighting Fixture - Disclosed herein is a recessed lighting fixture, comprising a housing having a back wall, one or more side walls extending from the back wall and at least one lower lip extending outwardly from one of said side walls, one or more of said side walls including at least one elongate slot formation, the slot formation including aligned upper and lower slot portions, the upper and/or lower slot portions having a pair of oppositely extending slot boundary regions, at least one slot boundary region having a lateral slot extension therei the slot extension having a first elongate dimension, a retaining clip for mounting in the slot formation for movement therealong, the retaining clip having a head portion, a neck portion and a body portion, the neck portion being dimensioned to extend through the upper slot portion and the head portion arranged to travel along an inner surface of the corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the upper slot portion, the neck portion including a collar portion, the collar portion including one or more than one projection extending laterally outwardly from the neck portion, the collar portion having a second elongate dimension exceeding the first elongate dimension to permit the collar portion to travel on an outer surface of a corresponding wall over the lateral slot extension, the body portion arranged to be biased outwardly front the housing portion and joined to an anchor portion, the anchor portion extending through the lower slot portion with an anchor flange, the anchor flange being arranged to travel along an inner surface of the corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the lower slot portion, the head and/or anchor portions being dimensioned to pass through a corresponding slot extension in the upper and/or lower slot portions. | 01-08-2009 |
20090135615 | RECESSED LIGHTING FIXTURE - A recessed lighting fixture includes a housing having one or more side walls, one or more of which including at least one elongate slot formation, the slot formation including a pair of oppositely extending lateral edge formations, each lateral edge formation having a first dimension, a retaining clip to be located in the slot formation for movement therealong. The retaining clip has a first portion to extend through the slot formation and to travel along an inner surface of the corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the slot formation, a second portion having a second dimension exceeding the first dimension and to travel along an outer surface of a corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the slot formation. The second portion is arranged to be biased outwardly from the housing relative to the first portion, the second portion joined to a third portion, the third portion being arranged to extend through the slot formation in a retained position, in which the third portion is retained against an inner surface of the corresponding lateral edge formation with the second portion in a spring-loaded orientation. The third portion is movable from the retained position to a released position when separated from the lateral edge formation, thereby causing the second portion to be transferred from its spring-loaded orientation to an outwardly extended orientation relative to the housing. | 05-28-2009 |
20090135616 | RECESSED LIGHTING FIXTURE WITH POWER SUPPLY HOUSING - A recessed lighting fixture includes a housing having one or more side walls, one or more of which including at least one elongate slot formation, the slot formation including a pair of oppositely extending lateral edge formations, each lateral edge formation having a first dimension, a retaining clip to be located in the slot formation for movement therealong. The retaining clip has a first portion to extend through the slot formation and to travel along an inner surface of the corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the slot formation, a second portion having a second dimension exceeding the first dimension and to travel along an outer surface of a corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the slot formation. The second portion is arranged to be biased outwardly from the housing relative to the first portion, the second portion joined to a third portion, the third portion being arranged to extend through the slot formation in a retained position, in which the third portion is retained against an inner surface of the corresponding lateral edge formation with the second portion in a spring-loaded orientation. The third portion is movable from the retained position to a released position when separated from the lateral edge formation, thereby causing the second portion to be transferred from its spring-loaded orientation to an outwardly extended orientation relative to the housing. | 05-28-2009 |
20090244888 | TRANSFORMER ASSEMBLY AND LIGHT FIXTURE ASSEMBLY USING SAME - A potted transformer assembly comprises a housing portion to form an exterior transformer housing, a transformer unit dimensioned to fit within the housing portion, the housing portion including a first passage to receive the transformer unit in an operative position therein, the housing portion having an inner surface which is oriented to provide an interior cavity between the transformer unit and the inner surface, the interior cavity being dimensioned to receive a predetermined quantity of a potting compound, the housing portion further including a second passage in fluid communication with the interior cavity, the second passage being dimensioned to receive a portion of the potting compound therein, the second passage being located on the housing portion in such a manner that, following a transformer encapsulation step, the presence of potting compound in the second passage is indicative of the transformer being substantially encapsulated by the potting compound. | 10-01-2009 |

20110108143 | Self-Cleaning Suction Device - A self-cleaning suction device has a user's suction end that self-sanitizes externally and internally before and after use, as well as self-sanitizes internally during use. A cover opens to reveal the user's suction end within a containment unit. As the cover opens, the suction end travels from a lower chamber, proceeds through a middle chamber of a sanitizing agent, and is presented for use. After suction is complete, the suction end retracts through an upper chamber with, a scraping feature that removes debris from the outer surface of the mouthpiece, and proceeds down through the middle chamber of a sanitizing agent and a scraping feature that removes debris and the sanitizing agent from the outer surface of the user's suction end. Upon the sealing closure of the cover, the upper and middle chambers are flushed with a sanitizing agent, which is suctioned away along with any collected debris. The user's suction end resides within a lower chamber and can be decontaminated by a UV-C light entering into the lower chamber and/or corresponding chambers. The suction device can also include a liquid-hydration delivery system. | 05-12-2011 |
