Abstract
First and second modules carrying LED circuit boards are interconnected by an interconnection mechanism which enables the modules to both pivot and move linearly with respect to one another such that the distance and angle between the modules may each be varied.
Claims8
The LED light fixture apparatus comprising:
- first and second modules, the first module comprising a first base component and a first cover component, the second module comprising a second base component and a second cover component, each of the first and second cover components carrying a circuit board mounting one or more LED's:
- an interconnection mechanism pivotally connected to said first base component, the interconnection mechanism being configured such that said interconnection mechanism is slidably movable into and out of said second base component;
- and such that said first and second base components are pivotable with respect to one another;
- the first and second cover components each having first and second depending vertical surfaces at one end thereof;
- wherein said interconnection mechanism has first and second vertically extending tabs respectively positioned to come into abutment with the first and second depending vertical surfaces of said second cover component to thereby limit the range of linear movement of said first base component with respect to said second base component;
- wherein said interconnection mechanism comprises a cylindrical portion and a tongue portion;
- and
- wherein said cylindrical portion comprises a cylindrical outer wall surrounding a floor and a cylindrical male projection formed on the floor, the male projection being concentrically positioned with respect to the outer wall.
