Abstract

A stand for a lidded box such as a luminaire and a lighting device comprising said stand. Said stand comprising a rotatable resilient stay and comprising a bridge portion connecting two transversal portions. Each transversal portion having a respective axial portion extending over a rotation axis. Said stand further comprising two facing supports comprising a seat. The seat being elongated in a length direction transverse to the rotation axis, said length direction and rotation axis extend in a plane P. Each axial portion being accommodated in a respective axially extending hole, provided in a respective support, the respective holes and seat being positioned aligned on the rotation axis. The transversal portions having a connect portion connecting the transversal portion with its axial portion, whereby in a seated position of the stay the connect portion extends through the seat in plane P and at an angle α with the length direction, with α in a range of 25° to 75°.

Dependent claims

Stand for a lighting device comprising:

a resilient stay rotatable about a rotation axis and comprising a bridge portion connecting two transversal portions at a respective first end thereof, each transversal portion at a second end thereof having a respective axial portion extending over the rotation axis,
two supports, at least one support comprising a seat, the seat being elongated in a length direction transverse to the rotation axis, said length direction and rotation axis are defined in a plane P,
each axial portion being at least partly accommodated in a respective axially extending hole, provided in a respective support, the respective holes and seat being positioned on and aligned with the rotation axis,
at least one transversal portion having a connect portion connecting the transversal portion at the second end with its axial portion, whereby in a seated position of the stay, the connect portion extends through the seat in plane P and at an angle α with the length direction, with α in a range of 25° to 75°,
the stay being configured to enable disengagement of the at least one connect portion from the seat through resilient deformation of the stay for enabling rotation of the stay about the rotation axis.
