Abstract
A lighting fixture includes a hexagonal housing having six side walls. Each side wall has a slot formed therein. Two or more lighting fixtures may be joined together to form a modular arrangement of lighting fixtures in a plurality of configurations by using an interlock piece which slides into channels formed in facing side walls of adjacent lighting fixtures to hold the lighting fixtures together.
Claims23
A lighting fixture, which comprises:
- a housing, the housing having an overall polygonal shape and including a plurality of generally planar side walls, the housing further defining an interior space, each side wall of the polygonally-shaped housing including cooperating structure which allows one of the side walls of the housing of the lighting fixture to be interlocked with a generally planar side wall of the housing of another similarly-structured lighting fixture;
- and
- an interlock piece, the interlock piece being attachable to the cooperating structure of a side wall of the housing of the lighting fixture and to cooperating structure of a side wall of the housing of another similarly-structured lighting fixture to join the lighting fixture and a similarly-structured lighting fixture together to form a modular arrangement of lighting fixtures.
A lighting fixture, which comprises:
- a housing, the housing including a main body having an overall polygonal shape and including a plurality of generally planar side walls, the main body defining an interior space, each side wall of the polygonally-shaped main body of the housing having an outer surface and an elongated channel formed in the outer surface;
- and
- an interlock piece, the interlock piece having an elongated member which is at least partially receivable by the elongated channel formed in each side wall of the main body of the housing to interconnect the lighting fixture with another, similarly-structured lighting fixture.
A modular arrangement of a plurality of lighting fixtures, adjacent lighting fixtures being joined together, each lighting fixture comprising:
- a housing, the housing including a main body having an overall polygonal shape and including a plurality of generally planar side walls, the main body defining an interior space, each side wall of the polygonally-shaped main body of the housing having an outer surface and an elongated channel formed in the outer surface;
- and
- an interlock piece, the interlock piece having an elongated member which is at least partially receivable by the elongated channel formed in each side wall of the main body of the housing to interconnect the lighting fixture with another, similarly-structured lighting fixture of the modular arrangement.
