Adjustable lighting system

An adjustable lighting system including, in combination:

• (a) a track head mountable to a lighting track,
• (b) a fixture mounting pole connected to said track head,
• (c) a power transfer means including a housing, an input shaft and an output shaft, each of said input shaft and said output shaft having an axis, said housing connected to a lower end of said fixture mounting pole, said output shaft rotatable about said output shaft axis in response to rotation of said input shaft, and said fixture mounting pole rotatable in response to rotation of said housing, and
• (d) a lamp holder connected to said output shaft of said power transfer means to rotate about said input shaft axis in response to the rotation of said housing, and about said output shaft axis in response to the rotation of said input shaft, said lamp holder capable of holding a lamp which is electrically connected to said track.

An adjustable lighting system including, in combination:

• (a) a track head mountable to a lighting track,
• (b) a fixture mounting pole fixedly mounted to said track head,
• (c) a power transfer means including a housing rotatably mounted to said fixture pole, an input shaft and an output shaft, each of said input shaft and said output shaft having an axis, said housing mounted to a lower end of said fixture mounting pole, said output shaft rotatable about said output shaft axis in response to rotation of said input shaft, and said housing rotatable about said input shaft axis in reponse to the application of a rotational force thereto, and
• (d) a light source connected to said output shaft of said power transfer means to rotate about said output shaft axis in response to the rotation of said input shaft, and about said input shaft axis in response to the rotation of said housing.

A method of converting a conventional track light of a type having a track head mountable to a lighting track, and a fixture mounting pole connected at its upper end to said track head, and at its lower end to a lighting fixture having a lamp holder, to a track light wherein said lamp holder can be rotated about two intersecting axis from a remote location, said method including the steps of:

• a) disconnnecting said lighting fixture from said fixture mounting pole,
• b) attaching a power transfer means to the lower end of said fixture mounting pole of a type having an output shaft rotatable in response to rotation of an input shaft and a housing fixedly connected to said fixture mounting pole,
• c) attaching a shaft receiving means to said lighting fixture to receive said output shaft of said power transfer means,
• d) connecting said output shaft to said shaft receiving means, and
• e) providing an adjustment means connectable to said input shaft of said power transfer means to rotate the same, and thereby rotate said lighting fixture about a first axis when desired, and to said housing of said power transfer means to rotate said fixture pole when desired, thereby rotating said lighting fixture about a second axis when desired.

A method of converting a conventional track light of a type having a track head mountable to a lighting track, and a fixture mounting pole connected at its upper end to said track head, and at its lower end to a lighting fixture, to a track light wherein said lighting fixture can be rotated about two intersecting axis from a remote location, said method including the steps of:

• a) disconnecting said lighting fixture from said fixture mounting pole,
• b) replacing said fixture mounting pole with a new fixture mounting pole of a type having a power transfer means on a lower end of said fixture mounting pole of a type having an output shaft rotatable in response to rotation of an input shaft and its housing connected to said fixture mounting pole,
• c) attaching a shaft receiving means to said lighting fixture to receive said output shaft of said power transfer means,
• d) connecting said output shaft to said shaft receiving means, and
• e) providing an adjustment means connectable to said input shaft of said power transfer means to rotate the same, and thereby rotate said lighting fixture about a first axis when desired, and to said housing of said power transfer means to rotate said fixture pole when desired, thereby rotating said lighting fixture about a second axis when desired.

A method of converting a conventional track light of a type having a track head mountable to a lighting track, and a fixture mounting pole connected at its upper end to said track head, and at its lower end to a lighting fixture, to a track light wherein said lighting fixture can be rotated about two intersecting axis from a remote location, said method including the steps of:

• a) disconnecting said lighting fixture from said fixture mounting pole,
• b) providing at a point of connection between said lighting fixture and said fixture mounting pole a power transfer means of a type having an output shaft rotatable in response to a rotation of an input shaft and having a housing connected to said fixture mounting pole,
• c) attaching a shaft receiving means to said lighting fixture to receive said output shaft of said power transfer means,
• d) connecting said output shaft to said shaft receiving means, and
• e) providing an adjustment means connectable to said input shaft of said power transfer means to rotate the same, and thereby rotate said lighting fixture in a first plane when desired, and to said housing of said power transfer means to rotate said fixture pole when desired, thereby rotating said lighting fixture in a second plane when desired.
