Modular construction for track lighting fixture

Track lighting fixture

A multi-lamp assembly for a lighting strip includes an elongated housing from which a plurality of spaced lamp contact housings extend. Each lamp contact housing includes at least one opening that receives the free upper end of an electrical contact mounted at its lower end to a printed circuit board that is received within the interior of the elongated housing. The contacts of series-connected lamps are inserted into the openings of adjacent lamp contact housings, thereby to engage a pair of the electrical contacts therein.

Multi-lamp assembly for miniature lighting strips

An adapter is disclosed which allows the secure installation of a lighting fixture to a lighting track and which lies flush with the face of the track in its locked condition. The adapter includes a pair of wing-like pull down levers pivotably mounted to a base. A resilient retention member is engaged by cam walls extending from the lever so that when the lever is pivoted to a flush, locking position the resilient members are moved transversely outwardly and become wedged against the inner walls of the lighting track, thereby to secure the adapter to the track. The lighting fixture can be locked in a desired horizontal and vertical orientation by the operation of a single actuator arm. Rotation of the actuator arm from an unlocked to a locked position causes two friction plates to come into engagement, thereby to establish a braking action that prevents further movement of the lighting fixture in the vertical direction, and also moves a pair of clamps into operative engagement with the lighting fixture, thereby to limit its horizontal rotation.

A track lighting fixture includes a receptacle that can be used with a wide variety of lamp enclosures of different configurations and sizes. The fixture includes an L-shaped bracket adapted to be pivotably mounted by means of a stem to a track. The fixture further includes a lamp socket in its interior and a docking bulkhead that includes a bayonet mount which receives a mating bayonet mount in the lamp enclosure. In another aspect of the invention, an opening is provided in the L-shaped bracket through which the end of a hand-held pole may be inserted to engage the fixture, so that by manipulation of the pole the angle and horizontal attitude of the fixture can be accurately adjusted by an individual from the floor without the need for that individual to risk injury by standing on a chair or ladder.

Lighting fixture track system

Described is an improved electrical connection suitable for track lighting which is comprised of a novel, formed conductive buss structure having a hairpin curve shape cross-section forming a groove for firmly holding a conductive blade to provide physical and electrical integrity of the connection thereby.
