Ballast Access Hatch In Reflector

View page
US Patent:
7942545, May 17, 2011
Filed:
Aug 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/229390
Inventors:
Charles E. Kassay - Smithtown NY, US
Suzanne M. Pane - Yaphank NY, US
Marc A. Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
John Peter Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
Assignee:
Philips Electronics North America Corporation - Burlington MA
International Classification:
F21V 23/02
US Classification:
362221, 36221705, 362225, 362260
Abstract:
A hatch is provided for a fluorescent lighting fixture having a continuous reflector covering the central section. The hatch is covered by a cover of compatible contour cut through the reflector underneath the location of the ballast in the housing above the reflector. The hatch cover is finished in the same surface as that of the reflector to minimize any disruption to the intended reflective pattern and to blend visually with the reflector. Two or more preferably quick-connect fasteners attach the hatch cover to the reflector. To gain access to the ballast, the lens or diffuser is removed and then the fluorescent lamp tubes which would interfere with the hatch cover are removed. The hatch cover is then removed to gain unobstructed access to the ballast from the underside of the fixture.

Fluorescent Light Fixture Retrofit Kit

View page
US Patent:
8092037, Jan 10, 2012
Filed:
Jul 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/460902
Inventors:
Charles E. Kassay - Smithtown NY, US
Suzanne M. Pane - Yaphank NY, US
Marc A. Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
John P. Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
Assignee:
Philips Electronics North America Corporation - Burlington MA
International Classification:
F21V 7/00
US Classification:
36221705, 36221707, 36221716, 36221712, 362297
Abstract:
A retrofit kit is configured for a single or multiple tubular fluorescent lamp fixture. The original fixture being retrofitted may or may not have any reflectors. The kit includes a new improved reflector with double concave wings. The winged reflector preferably has a central arched, preferably trapezoidal portion which forms the lower cover of the fixture box. This central trapezoidal portion includes an access door to permit access to the ballast without the need to remove the winged reflector once it is installed. An arched, preferably trapezoidal socket bar is installed at each end of the fixture, to lower the position of the lamp with respect to the winged reflector surfaces, to enhance the light distribution in a downward direction while permitting enhanced up-lighting. The distal ends of the trapezoidal central portion of the reflector mate with the trapezoidal socket bars at opposite ends of the fixture.

US Patent:
20090231837, Sep 17, 2009
Filed:
Mar 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/381223
Inventors:
Charles E. Kassay - Smithtown NY, US
Suzanne M. Pane - Yaphank NY, US
Marc A. Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
John Peter Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
International Classification:
F21S 8/00
F21S 4/00
US Classification:
362147, 362225
Abstract:
A fluorescent light fixture is suspended by a longitudinally extending trapezoidal pendant bracket/stabilizer. The trapezoidal pendant bracket/stabilizer includes a horizontally extending top brace and a pair of obliquely extending arms extending downward in opposite directions from the top brace in a trapezoidal crossection. Each obliquely extending arm has a flat, horizontally and outwardly extending attachment foot extending longitudinally along a flat top surface of the fluorescent lamp fixture, wherein each attachment foot is attached to the flat top surface of the fluorescent lamp fixture. The horizontally extending top brace is attachable to a ceiling mounted fastener, such as a toggle hanger or other downwardly extending fastener.

Wire Guard Fluorescent Fixture Attachment Using Snap Fasteners

US Patent:
20110222275, Sep 15, 2011
Filed:
Mar 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/661408
Inventors:
Charles E. Kassay - Smithtown NY, US
Suzanne M. Pane - New Bern NC, US
Marc A. Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
John Peter Kassay - Wake Forest NC, US
International Classification:
F21V 21/00
US Classification:
36221717
Abstract:
A wire guard fluorescent fixture attachment uses snap fasteners to attach the wire guard to a fluorescent fixture. Two or more such snap fasteners are spaced apart on each side of the fixture adjacent to the bottom housing edge. Each snap fastener has three functions in this application. It fastens the wire guard to the fixture; it also hinges the wire guard to the fixture so that it can swing open in either of two directions. It is also a latch to lock the wire guard in place after a service requiring swinging the wire guard open.
