Optical device attachment systems for linear light fixtures

A linear light fixture (100) comprising:

• a tray (210) comprising a circuit board receiving section (211), a first tray side section (212-1) disposed on one side of the circuit board receiving section, a second tray side section (212-2) disposed on an opposite side of the circuit board receiving section relative to the first tray side section, a plurality of optical device receiving features (220) disposed on the first tray side section and the second tray side section, and a retention feature (215), wherein each of the plurality of optical device receiving features comprises a receiving portion and a retaining portion;
• and
• an optical device (340) comprising an optical section (341), a first optical device side section (342-1) disposed on one side of the optical section, a second optical device side section (342-2) disposed on an opposite side of the optical section relative to the first optical device side section, and a complementary retention feature (355), wherein the first optical device side section and the second optical device side section comprise a tray mating feature (350) that is configured to be disposed within the optical device receiving feature,
• wherein the retention feature of the tray and the complementary retention feature of the optical device are misaligned with each other and are not capable of being engaged with each other when each tray mating feature of the optical device is engaged with the receiving portion of each optical device receiving feature of the tray, wherein the retention feature of the tray and the complementary retention feature of the optical device are aligned with each other and are engageable with each other after the optical device is moved, while each tray mating feature of the optical device remains engaged with each receiving portion of the optical device, relative to the tray so that each tray mating feature of the optical device is engaged with the retaining portion of each optical device receiving feature of the tray, and wherein the retention feature secures the optical device to the tray in a fixed position while the retention feature engages the complementary retention feature.

A tray for a linear light fixture, the tray comprising:

• a circuit board receiving section that is configured to receive a circuit board assembly of the linear light fixture;
• a first tray side section disposed on one side of the circuit board receiving section;
• a second tray side section disposed on an opposite side of the circuit board receiving section relative to the first tray side section;
• a plurality of optical device receiving features disposed on the first tray side section and the second tray side section, wherein the plurality of optical device receiving features are configured to couple to a plurality of tray mating features of an optical device of the linear light fixture;
• and
• a retention feature that is configured to engage a complementary retention feature of the optical device.
