Neon sign

A luminous electric display unit having glass tubing, filled with an inert gas, fully or partially enclosed within a protective housing, thereby providing protection both for the glass tubing and the public.

A lighting unit that reduces the effect of back lighting having a housing assembly containing an elongated bulb having a longitudinal axis which is horizontally aligned; a transparent and central section, the transparent portion containing the mounted bulb and having spaced apart tabs mounted on an inside surface thereof; and a sun shield attached to the housing assembly. The sun shield, which is positioned between a source of bright light independent of the housing assembly and the housing assembly, having a shield portion and a mounting portion, the mounting portion comprising a bracket portion perpendicular to the shield having a fastener receiving hole through which a fastener is passed to attach the sun shield to the housing assembly. The sun shield also provides protruding members on an outside surface, and at least one catch member on the inside surface, whereby the sun shield may also be attached to the housing assembly by placing the catch member of the sun shield over the protruding member of the housing assembly. The sun shield further comprises a piece of opaque film placed between the tabs which are mounted on the inside surface of the transparent portion of the housing assembly, the film being flush with the inside surface of the transparent portion of the housing assembly within which the bulb is mounted.

Sun shields for housing assemblies containing illuminated glass tubing

An electric luminous display unit for conveying visual information including a housing comprising an opaque front face portion of substantially rigid molded plastic, an elongated groove in the front face portion of the housing, inert gas-containing glass tubing located in the groove and extending therealong, and electrical means located behind the front face portion of the housing and electrically connected to ends of the glass tubing for supplying electrical energy to illuminate the same. In one embodiment, an edge-lighted board is described for receiving written information thereon.

A housing assembly for protective support of illuminated glass tubing of the neon tube type comprising a base section, a central section, and a transparent cover section, each having wall portions forming an open sided elongated channel, a support plate mounted in the central section, elongated glass tubing disposed in the cover section and supportably mounted on the support plate in fastening clips, the base, central, and cover sections being formed of resiliently deformable material, such as plastic, and being assembled in snap-fit relation with each other to enclose the open sides of the channels. End caps enclose ends of the cover and central channels and protect the glass tubing and an electrical transformer and wiring disposed therein against weather. The housing assembly may be extrusion molded in varying lengths, and a plurality of assemblies may be connected in a series array and powered from a single low voltage source to provide decoration and lighting to a desired area, such as a building, amusement ride, or the like.
