Abstract
A light emitting element assembly for mounting to a panel. The assembly includes a housing configured to receive a light emitting element therein. In addition, the assembly includes a bezel having at least one latch arm extending from a surface of the bezel, wherein the bezel is configured to detachably engage a surface within the housing. The bezel is further configured to retain the assembly in a position relative to the panel. The assembly also includes a mounting structure having the light emitting element operably mounted therein.
Claims19
A light emitting element assembly system comprising:
- a panel comprising an opening;
- a light emitting element assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to receive a light emitting element therein, the housing comprising at least one flexible cantilevered leg;
- a bezel comprising at least one latch arm extending from a surface of the bezel configured to detachably engage a surface within the housing, the bezel further being configured to extend through the opening retain the assembly in a position relative to the panel;
- the at least one flexible cantilevered leg configured to disengage the at least one latch arm from the housing, such that when the at least one cantilevered leg is engaged, the at least one latch arm is moved out of engagement with the housing and the bezel is sufficiently disengaged to allow removal;
- and
- a mounting structure comprising the light emitting element operably mounted on the mounting structure.
