Abstract
An apparatus includes a first channel element; the first channel element has a first end and a second end and a length; and a first light element. The first light element has a length. A length of the first channel element is established using the length of the first light element. The first channel element further includes a coupleable area. The coupleable area permits the first channel element to be coupled to a second channel element, wherein the mirror chassis is formed thereby. A method to establish a set of channel element lengths for a mirror chassis includes selecting a set of light element lengths and then determining a channel element length from each light element length. The channel element length is selected to permit mounting a light element associated therewith.
Claims36
A mirror chassis apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of horizontal channel elements;
- and
- a plurality of vertical channel elements, wherein a length of a channel element from the plurality of vertical channel elements and the plurality of horizontal channel elements is established using a length of a light element such that the channel element and the light element are substantially coextensive, and a horizontal channel element from the plurality of horizontal channel elements is coupleable to a vertical channel element from the plurality of vertical channel elements to form a channel for the mirror chassis.
A mirror chassis apparatus comprising:
- a first channel element, the first channel element has a first end and a second end and a length;
- and
- a first light element, the first light element has a length, wherein a length of the first channel element is established using the length of the first light element, such that the first channel element and the first light element are substantially coextensive, the first channel element further comprising;
- a coupleable area, the coupleable area permits the first channel element to be coupled to a second channel element, wherein the mirror chassis is formed thereby.
A method to establish a length of a channel element used in a chassis for a mirror, comprising:
- selecting a first light element for use in the chassis;
- establishing a length of a channel element, wherein the length is selected to permit attachment of the first light element to the channel element and the light element is substantially coextensive with the channel element;
- and
- providing a coupling area on the channel element, the coupling area permits the channel element to be coupled to a second channel element.
A method to establish a set of channel element lengths for a mirror chassis, comprising:
- selecting a set of light element lengths;
- and
- determining a channel element length from each light element length, wherein the channel element length is selected such that a corresponding light element and a corresponding channel element are substantially coextensive.
