Luminaire mounting system

摘要

A device including a hub portion, said hub portion including an opening with spring-loaded electrical contacts slidably disposed in said opening, a light rail an extended portion and a power contact disposed on the extended portion, wherein the light rail is operable to slide into the opening and couple the power contact to the spring-loaded contact. The extended portion may include an o-ring for fixing the light rail and the hub may have a cable for mounting and coupling power to the spring-loaded electrical contact. Some embodiments may have a second opening in said hub portion, and a second end for the light rail. Power may be coupled through the light rail to hubs on each end.

主权项

1. A device including:
a hub portion, said hub portion including a first cavity
wherein the first cavity has an inside surface,wherein the inside surface has a primary chamber; a first and a second spring-loaded electrical contact disposed in the primary chamber,
wherein the first and second spring-loaded electrical contacts extend into the first cavity, a light rail, said light rail including an extended portion,
wherein the light rail has a longitudinal axis; a first electrical contact ring disposed on the extended portion substantially coaxial to the longitudinal axis, and a second electrical contact ring disposed on the extended portion substantially coaxial to the longitudinal axis;
wherein the light rail is operable to slide into the first cavity,wherein the first electrical contact ring is operable to substantially bear against the first spring-loaded electrical contact, and the second electrical contact ring is operable to substantially bear against the second spring-loaded electrical contact,
thereby maintaining a substantially continuous electrical connection between the first electrical contact ring and the first spring-loaded electrical contact the during rotation of the light rail along the longitudinal axis.
