Mounting bracket and wiring system for linear LED tube lighting

An assembly for mounting a cylindrically-shaped light tube to the underside of the top glass of display cases, which light tube consists of LED light components mounted on circuit boards, which are internally mounted on to a pedestal strip, which is internally mounted to the inside plane of said light tube, which is then mounted to a cylindrical mounting bracket comprising:

• a cylindrical tube whose inside diameter is slightly larger than the outside diameter of said light tube;
• and
• a lateral cut at the base of said cylindrical mounting bracket large enough to permit the placement of a wire harness through the lower half of the mounting bracket adjacent to the wall of said display case and into a wire harness down rod;
• and
• a horizontal cut extending at least one-third the length of said cylindrical mounting bracket large enough to fit a connector and said wire harness leading to said circuit board(s);
• and
• a threaded hole near the open end of said mounting bracket, which end is opposite to the base of said mounting bracket, for placement of a set screw to firmly affix said light tube to said mounting bracket;
• whereby only one side of said light tube will normally be fastened with said set screw to allow said light tube assembly to expand and contract with changes in temperature throughout the LED light operating hours;
• two flat edges adjacent and perpendicular to each other and positioned along horizontal and vertical planes that are tangential to two apexes 90 degrees apart along the radius of the length of said cylindrical mounting bracket;
• whereby said flat edges are utilized to fit said mounting bracket into the uppermost corner of said display case top glass and side glass;
• whereby said vertical flat edge of said mounting bracket is utilized as a guide to move said mounting bracket squarely into position and parallel along said side glass up to the underside of said top glass, as well as stabilize said mounting bracket against the glass surface once in place;
• whereby said horizontal edge of said mounting bracket is utilized as a surface to apply an adhesive to make a bond to said underside of said top glass;
• whereby a bevel of variable size at the apex of said two flat edges is provided as clearance for any existing adhesive residue or obstruction at the corner of said top and side glass, and to restrict application adhesive on said horizontal edge from touching the surface of said front glass while it is slid into position up to said top glass;
• whereby said adhesive may be liquid adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape.
