Abstract
A flood light fixture for pivotable mounting to a pole or tenon is disclosed. The fixture includes a hollow mounting arm pivotably mounted to the fixture having a relieved portion defining a mounting wall. A transverse mounting bracket is slideably retained in a pair of grooves internally of the fixture housing and receives a thread fastener extending through a mounting boss on the mounting arm. A photoelectric sensor is mounted with the hollow mounting arm. Novel hinge assemblies comprising an arcuate shaped clip fastened to a flange on the housing encircles a pin on the housing cover providing for retention and pivotable movement of the cover, and a pair of wire formed latches are attached to the housing and clamp the cover to the housing.
Claims22
A lighting fixture comprising:
- a generally rectilinear housing having an open front end in a relieved portion in a clearance opening in a side wall;
- electrical component means including a lamp socket mounted within said housing for energizing an electric lamp;
- light reflector means mounted within said housing for reflecting light from said lamp from the front of said housing;
- a mounting arm operatively associated with said relieved portion, said mounting arm including means for attachment to an external mounting member and having means for mounting said mounting arm to said housing, said means for mounting said mounting arm to said housing received in said clearance opening and providing for relative pivotal movement between said housing and said mounting arm;
- and
- means for releasably locking said housing at selected angular positions relative to said mounting arm, said locking means being associated with said means for mounting said arm to said housing.

A light fixture comprising:
- a generally rectilinear housing having a top, a bottom and two opposing sides joined together in end-to-end relationship, said housing having a closed back and an open front and a relieved portion at a corner defined by the junction of said bottom and one of said sides, said relieved portion configured to operatively receive a mounting arm therein and defines a substantially planar mounting wall perpendicular to said bottom, said mounting wall including a circular aperture into which a complimentarily sized boss on said mounting arm is rotationally journaled;
- means for releasably locking said mounting arm to said mounting wall at selected angular positions of said mounting arm relative to said housing;
- a cover including a transparent portion pivotably mounted to said housing in said open front;
- hinge means associated with said cover and said housing providing for said pivotal mounting of said cover;
- electrical component means mounted in said housing adapted to connect to an external power source for energizing a lamp;
- and
- light reflector means mounted in said housing for reflecting light from said lamp through said transparent portion.
4 more elements
A light fixture comprising:
- a one piece housing including a bottom, a top, two opposing sides joined together in end-to-end relationship, and a back defining an interior, said housing having an open front and a relieved portion at a lowermost corner defining an upstanding mounting wall intermediate said opposing sides projecting into said interior of said housing perpendicularly from said bottom, said mounting wall including a circular clearance hole into said interior;
- a pair of spaced apart upstanding members cast into said housing adjacent said mounting wall at diametrical opposite positions relative to said clearance hole, said upstanding members including opposing aligned slots lying in a common plane parallel to said support wall;
- a mounting arm having a hollow interior and including means for mounting said arm to an external mounting member and including a circular boss on one side rotatably journaled in said clearance hole, said mounting arm having an aperture coaxially through said boss defining an axis of rotation of said mounting arm and having at least one opening connecting said hollow interior of said mounting arm with the interior of said housing;
- a plate slidably received in said aligned slots in said upstanding members spanning the space therebetween and including a threaded hole coaxially aligned with said aperture in said boss;
- an elongated threaded fastener extending through said aperture in said boss threadedly engaged in said threaded hole;
- electrical component means within said housing for energizing a lamp;
- light reflector means within said housing for reflecting light from said lamp;
- and
- a cover pivotally mounted to said housing including a light transparent portion adjacent said reflector means.
