Device for securing a source of LED light to a heat sink surface

摘要

A device for securing a source of LED light to a heat sink includes an LED light source engaging surface that is arranged and configured to engage at least a portion of the source of LED light and which is provided with an integrated force applying spring. Further, the device may include a continuous metallic path extending between the sources of LED light and the surface.

主权项

1. A device for releasably securing a LED light module, having one or more sources of LED light, on a mounting surface, comprising:
a monolithic member constructed from a resilient, metallic material having an aperture for the one or more sources of LED light wherein the aperture is completely surrounded by a planar LED light module engaging surface for releasable engagement with corresponding surfaces of the LED light module, the monolithic member further having at least a pair of fastener receiving openings each surrounded by a fastener engaging surface wherein an engagement between the fastener engaging surface and a corresponding fastener with the corresponding surfaces of the LED light module positioned in engagement with the planar LED light module engaging surface places the planar LED light module engaging surface under load such that the planar LED light module engaging surface applies a generally uniform force upon the corresponding surface of the LED light module to secure the LED light module on the mounting surface while providing at least one continuous metallic path between the mounting surface and the LED light module.
