A collapsible container includes a base including a first cam surface, a second cam surface, and a third cam surface. A hinge permits vertical translation of a wall relative to the base. The wall includes a first follower, a second follower, and a third follower, wherein the first follower is configured to contact the first cam surface during a first angular interval, wherein the second follower is configured to contact the second cam surface during a second angular interval, and wherein the third follower is configured to contact the third cam surface during a third angular interval. A retractable wall may include a pair of vertical portions defining an opening therebetween. An upper portion and a lower portion may be pivotably connected to the pair of vertical portions. A link having an arm may be pivotably connected to the upper portion and pivotably connected to the lower portion.

Collapsible crate with translating hinge

The collapsible container includes a base and a pair of opposed first walls pivotably connected to opposed first edges of the base. A second wall or front wall is pivotably connected to a second edge of the base such that the second wall is perpendicular to the first walls. The front wall includes a frame including a pair of elongated vertical upstanding members each including a recess opening outward of the container. The front wall further includes a door pivotably connected to the upstanding members. The door includes an upper panel portion having a pair of wing portions projecting away from one another and receivable in the recesses in the upstanding members.

Collapsible crate with retractable wall

A container includes a base having end edges and side edges. The base includes a plurality of regions including a center region, corner portions, side regions between the corner portions and between the center portion and the side edges, and end regions between the corner portions and between the center portion and the end edges. The center region is reinforced differently from the side regions, end regions, and corner regions. The corner regions are reinforced differently from the side regions and the end regions. The center region has no ribs protruding downwardly. A plurality of walls extending upward from the side edges and the end edges of the base.

Hybrid collapsible crate

A collapsible container includes a frame including a base and a plurality of walls hingeably connected to edges of the base. At least one wall of the plurality of walls has a large opening therethrough. The large opening occupies a majority of the area of the at least one wall. An insert is received in the frame. The insert at least substantially covers the large opening in the at least one wall.

Hybrid collapsible container

A luminaire includes a housing, a luminous zone coupled with the housing, and one or more transition zones coupled with the housing and disposed adjacent to the luminous zone. The luminous zone provides a first light to an illuminated area, and the one or more transition zones provide a second light to the illuminated area. The first light is harsher than the second light. A method of illuminating an area includes providing a first light to the area from a luminous zone of a luminaire and providing a second light to the area from one or more transition zones disposed adjacent to the luminous zone within the luminaire. The first light is a harsher light than the second light.

Luminaires with transition zones for glare control

Light fixture

In one arrangement, a luminaire, for example a luminaire for outdoor lighting, includes a main portion, a pivot member, a swivel member, and a light head. The pivot member and swivel member cooperate to allow the light head to be positioned in any of a number of rotational positions about a first axis and in any of a number of rotational positions about a second axis. The first axis may be vertical, and the second axis may be horizontal.

An LED assembly that includes optics and optical arrangements for light emitting diodes (LEDs). In some embodiments, a reflector is provided within a void between the lens and the LED. This reflector can reflect light emitted by the LED in a non-preferred direction back toward the preferred direction. In other embodiments, an optical element is formed or otherwise provided in the lens cavity and shaped so that, when the lens is positioned above the LED, the refractor bends the emitted light in a preferred direction. In some embodiments, both a reflector and optical element are provided in the LED assembly to control the directionality of the emitted light. Such embodiments of the invention can be used to increase the efficiency of an LED by ensuring that generated light is being directed to the target area of choice.

LED assembly having a refractor that provides improved light control

To connect multiple LED devices, each LED device is placed in a holder. A first wire is connected to a first wire connection point on the holder and a second wire is connected to a second wire connection point on the holder. The first wire is also connected to a first wire connection point on a circuit board The second wire is also connected to a second wire connection point on the circuit board. A connector may be used to connect the wires to the wire connection points on the circuit board. The circuit board includes traces to connect the LED devices to each other or to other components.

System and method for connecting LED devices

In an electronic apparatus comprising a circuit board supporting semiconductor components and traces or conductors for supplying electrical energy to the semiconductor components, and a connection arrangement by which the conductors are connected to a power supply cable, the circuit board being covered by an electrically insulating encapsulating layer, a molded frame part is mounted on the circuit board so as to cover the connection arrangement, the molded frame part having a circumferential edge structure which extends on one end into the encapsulating layer and at the other end projects above the encapsulating layer so as to create an interior space which, when the encapsulating layer is at least partially cured, is filled with additional encapsulating compound to form, after curing, a relatively thick protective layer over the wire or cable and conductor connecting area.

Method for making an electronic apparatus having an encapsulating layer within and outside of a molded frame overlying a connection arrangement on a circuit board

In a lighting apparatus, comprising a heatsink having at one side thereof a recess with at least one groove extending over the length of the heatsink, a plurality of lighting units are arranged in the groove or grooves oriented toward the opening of the recess for the emission of light therefrom and the frame is provided at the side opposite the opening with heatsink ribs, the lighting units in the groove or grooves being encapsulated by an encapsulating material added into the groove or grooves and being cured therein so as to be in direct contact with the groove walls and enclosing the lighting units at least up to the light emitting lenses thereof.
