Description
Nov. 9, 1954 H. E. WILLIAMS SHOWCASE LIGHTING FIXTURE Filed Feb. 11 1950 Af/arneyx United States Patent SHOWCASE LIGHTING FIXTURE Harold E. Williams, Carthage, Mo.
Application February 11, 1950, Serial No. 143,683
6 Claims. (Cl. 240-'-6) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in showcase lighting fixtures, and has particular reference to that class of fixtures which are not attached to the showcase structure, but which are movable in said showcase.-
The principal object of the present invention is the provision of a lighting fixture of the character described comprising a planar base adapted to rest on the floor of a. showcase, and a vertical standard carrying a light bulb or the like attached at its. lower end to said base, said standard being adjustable from a central position on said base to a positionadjacent the edge of said base, whereby said standard may be positioned in the extreme corner of a showcase without said base interfering with the walls of said showcase.-
Another object is the provision of a lighting fixture of the class described wherein the standard is specially formed to fit into the corner of a showcase and to be adequately supported thereby.
A further object is the provision of means for tilting said standard relative to said base, whereby said standard will be caused to fit properly in the corner of the showcase, compensating for irregularities in the showcase floor and the like.
Other objects are simplicity and economy of construction, ease and convenience of adjustment, and adaptability fora wide variety of uses.
With these objects in view, as well as other objects which will apear in the course of the specification, reference will be had to the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a showcase, showing a. lighting fixture embodying the present invention positioned in an internal corner thereof.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal section of the parts shown in Fig. 1, taken intermediate the ends of the lighting tube.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on line III-III of Fig. 2, with parts left in elevation.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the base of the lighting fiX- ture.
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on line VV of Fig. 4
Like reference numerals apply to similar parts throughout the several views, and the numeral 2 applies to a fragmentary showing of an ordinary showcase including side walls 4 which meet normally at right angles, a top wall 6, and a floor 8. The side and top walls are normally formed of glass for transparency. Although the particular structure of the showcase forms no part of the present invention, it will be noted that the joints of said side walls and top wall are usually permanently cemented. This provides a cogent reason for using lighting fixtures which are not permanently mounted in the case, since the disassembly of the case to mount lighting fixtures permanently involves considerable danger of breaking the glass walls.
The lighting fixture forming the present invention comprises a base and a standard 12 attached to said base. Base 10 comprises a substantially square sheet metal member having its marginal edge portion offset downwardly as at 14, whereby when said base is placed on the showcase floor 8, the central portion thereof will be supported in spaced relation above said floor. A hole 16 is formed centrally in said base, and holes 18 and 20 are formed in said base respectively adjacent opposite corners thereof, as best shown in Fig. 4. Holes 16, 18, and 20 are adapted to receive screws for purposes here- 2 inafter appearing. A portion of base 10 is struck upwardly to form a flat spring 22, said spring extending radially in the base, having its fixed end adjacent central hole 16 and its free end adjacent hole 20. Adjacent its free end, said spring is formed to present an upwardly projecting base or detent 24.
Standard 12 is disposed substantially vertically, and is elongated in form. It includes a channel-shaped sheet metal body member 26 of uniform cross-sectional shape. As best shown in Fig. 2, said body member opens inwardly toward the showcase, and is provided along its back with longitudinal planar portions 28 and 30 disposed parallel to the axis of the body member and at right angles to each other, whereby said standard will fit snugly into a vertical corner of the showcase and be supported firmly thereby against tilting in either of two vertical planes. Although the particular lighting means mounted in the standard forms no part of the present invention, the drawing shows a fluorescent tube 32 mounted axially in the upper portion of said standard with an elliptical reflector 34 mounted therebehind to reflect light from said tube outwardly into the showcase. The bottom portion 36 of the standard may be utilized to contain ballast and starting equipment, or other equipment necessary for the operation of fluorescent tube 32.
The operation of the fixture is substantially as'follows: If screw 42 is positioned in central hole 16 of the base, the standard will be approximately centered on the base, and will be properly supported by the base when positioned in spaced-apart relation from the walls of a showcase or the like. The standard may be turned axially about screw 42 to direct light in any desired direction. If desired, hold-down screws may be passed through holes 18 and 20 and secured in the floor 8 to position the fixture securely. In this manner fixtures may be placed about a showcase or the like at will, in order to procure the most desirable lighting of displays. If it is desired to place the fixture in the corner of a showcase as shown, screw 42 is passed through hole 20 of the base and threaded into boss 40, and the standard is turned until boss 24 of spring 22 engages indentation 44 of end plate 38. This will secure standard 12 against rotation relative to the base in such a position that portions 28 and 30 of body member 26 lie in the vertical planes of adjoining edges of the base. The fixture may then be positioned in an internal vertical corner of a showcase as shown, and base 10 will not interfere with the side walls 4 of the showcase. If, due to tilting of the showcase floor 8 or other cause, the standard exhibits a tendency to lean away from the showcase walls, screw 42 may be loosened slightly. Spring 22 will then urge the forward edge of end plate 38 upwardly, thereby tilting standard 12 toward the showcase walls. In many cases it is desirable to leave screw 42 loose at all times, in order that standard 12 will be urged into the corner of the showcase with a positive force at all times. Holes 16 and 18 of the base may be utilized for receiving holddown screws if desired. Boss 24 will always be held in engagement with indentation 44 of the standard by the spring 22.
While I have shown a specific embodiment of my invention, it is apparent that the scope of the invention includes many possible variations. For example, base 10 and standard 12 could be formed to fit in showcases having other than right-angled corners. A greater number of indentations 44 could be used for selectively positioning the standard at various phases of its rotation relative to the base. Various connecting and spring means could be interposed between the base and the standard. These and other minor modifications of structure and operation could be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
