Abstract
A suspended cable lighting system that is pre assembled and uses reels to house and tension the cable. This allows a user to quickly and easily assemble a lighting system for positioning of decorative or utility lighting fixtures without technical knowledge or tools. The system provides conductors which provide both power and support to a plurality of lighting fixtures, which may be suspended between opposing or adjacent walls, thereby creating various angles at which the lighting fixtures may be directed. The reel ratcheting assembly allows quick and simple tensioning of the conductors, and allows a user to relax the tension to gain access to the lighting fixtures for removal or repositioning without the use of tools.
Claims23
A method for installing a cable lighting system comprising of a preassembled system having a first cable mounting assembly, a second cable mounting assembly, two electrically conductive cables connected between said first cable mounting assembly and said second cable mounting assembly, an electrical power supply, and a power cord extending from said electrical power supply to said two electrically conductive cables and a tensioning system connected to said electrically conductive cables, said method comprising the steps of:
- attaching said first cable mounting assembly to a first surface;
- attaching said second cable mounting assembly to a second surface;
- and
- adjusting the tension in said cables by operating said tensioning mechanism.
A pre-assembled lighting system wherein said lighting system comprises:
- two conductive cables;
- a first anchoring system attached to one end of said two conductive cables;
- a second anchoring system attached to the other end of said two conductive cables;
- an electrical supply for supplying electrical current to said two conductive cables connected to said two conductive cables;
- a mechanism on said second anchoring system for creating tension on said two conductive cables of one another;
- a plurality of lighting fixtures attached to said two conductive cables;
- and
- wherein said two conductive cables, said first anchoring system, said second anchoring system, said electrical supply, said mechanism and said lighting fixtures are preassembled in a consumer package.
A lighting system wherein said lighting system comprises:
- two conductive cables;
- a first anchoring system attached to one end of said two conductive cables;
- an adhesive backing on said first anchoring system;
- a second anchoring system attached to the other end of said two conductive cables;
- an adhesive backing on said second anchoring system;
- an electrical supply for supplying electrical current to said two conductive cables connected to said two conductive cables;
- a mechanism on said second anchoring system for creating tension on said two conductive cables of one another;
- a plurality of lighting fixtures attached to said two conductive cables.
