Device with illuminated light bar

A device comprising:

• a printed circuit board;
• an enclosure housing the printed circuit board, the enclosure having at least one side;
• a light-emitting diode mounted to the printed circuit board;
• a light-pipe structure located adjacent to the side of the enclosure and configured to form a light bar extending in a lateral direction along the side of the enclosure;
• wherein the light-pipe structure comprises a lower recess in which the light-emitting diode is located, and comprises an upper recess located above the lower recess, the upper recess and the lower recess configured to direct light from the light-emitting diode in the lateral direction along the side of the enclosure to generate the light bar;
• and
• a mounting structure mechanically coupled to the enclosure and the printed circuit board for mounting the printed circuit board inside the enclosure;
• wherein the light-pipe structure is formed as part of the mounting structure.

A device comprising:

• a printed circuit board;
• at least one light-emitting diode mounted to the printed circuit board;
• a control circuit mounted to the printed circuit board and operatively coupled to the light-emitting diode for controllably illuminating the light-emitting diode;
• an enclosure for housing the printed circuit board;
• and
• a mounting structure mechanically coupled to the enclosure and the printed circuit board for mounting the printed circuit board inside the enclosure;
• wherein the mounting structure forms a light bar extending around a periphery of the enclosure, the mounting structure comprising:
• at least one light-pipe structure for conducting light from the at least one light-emitting diode to the light bar;
• a leg having an opening, wherein the leg is configured to rest on the printed circuit board, and wherein the opening is configured to receive a mechanical connection to fixedly connect the printed circuit board to the mounting structure;
• and
• a projection having an opening configured to receive a mechanical connection to fixedly connect the mounting structure to the enclosure.

An apparatus comprising:

• a printed circuit board;
• an enclosure housing the printed circuit board;
• a light-emitting diode mounted to the printed circuit board, the light-emitting diode configured to emit light in a first direction;
• and
• a light-pipe structure comprising an upper recess positioned adjacent to the light-emitting diode, the upper recess configured to receive the light emitted from the light emitting diode and to direct the light in a second direction along a length of the light-pipe structure, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;
• wherein the light-pipe structure further comprises an emitter surface and is configured to distribute the light from the light emitting diode in a third direction to the emitter surface, wherein the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and is perpendicular to the second direction;
• and
• wherein the light-pipe structure gets narrower along the first direction as the light pipe structure extends away from the lower recess towards an end of the light-pipe structure and gets narrower along the third direction as the light pipe structure extends away from the lower recess towards the end of the light-pipe structure.
