LIGHT GUIDE ASSEMBLY, HOUSING ASSEMBLY, AND LIGHTING ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME

摘要

A light guide assembly includes light guide segments, each including opposed major surfaces and a light input edge extending in the thickness direction therebetween. One of the light guide segments includes a first side edge surface including one or more side edge surface sections, at least a portion thereof oriented non-parallel to the thickness direction. Another of the light guide segments includes a second side edge surface complimentary to the first side edge surface. The one of the light guide segments is arranged adjacent the another of the light guide segments and abuts the complimentary second side edge surface, the one of the light guide segments variably positionable relative to the another of the light guide segments about an axis parallel to the length direction. A lighting assembly includes the light guide assembly and a housing assembly having housing segments, each associated with one of the respective light guide segments.

1. A light guide assembly, comprising:
light guide segments, each comprising:
opposed first and second major surfaces extending between a proximal end and a distal end in a length direction, the opposed first and second major surfaces spaced apart from one another in a thickness direction orthogonal to the length direction; anda light input edge extending in the thickness direction between the opposed first and second major surfaces at the proximal end, the first and the second major surfaces configured to propagate light input to the light guide through the light input edge therebetween by total internal reflection; one of the light guide segments comprising a first side edge surface extending between the proximal end and distal end and between the opposed first and second major surfaces, the first side edge surface comprising one or more side edge surface sections, at least a portion of the one or more side edge surface sections oriented non-parallel to the thickness direction; and another of the light guide segments comprising a second side edge surface complimentary to the first side edge surface and extending between the proximal end and distal end and between the opposed first and second major surfaces, the second side edge surface comprising one or more side edge surface sections, at least a portion of the one or more side edge surface sections oriented non-parallel to the thickness direction, wherein the one of the light guide segments is arranged adjacent the another of the light guide segments such that the first side edge surface abuts the complimentary second side edge surface, the one of the light guide segments variably positionable relative to the another of the light guide segments about an axis parallel to the length direction so the light guide assembly curves about the axis parallel to the length direction.
