SELF-CENTERING HYPERBOLIC TRIM

摘要

A self-centering hyperbolic trim assembly is provided for a recessed light fixture. The trim assembly includes a mixing chamber, a hyperbolic reflector and a reflector mounting assembly to mount the hyperbolic reflector without rigid attachment in an optic housing of the recessed light fixture. The mixing chamber is top mounted by its chamber holder portion over an LED light source in the optic housing. The mixing chamber has a light transmitting chamber body held within the chamber holder portion, whereby a space is formed between the chamber holder and the light transmitting chamber body. This space is sufficient to accept the free upper end of the hyperbolic reflector therein, thus creating a self-centering interference fit between the mixing chamber and the reflector, while protecting the LED light source, when the light fixture is assembled, thereby maintaining consistent light output and patterning.

主权项

1. A trim assembly for a recessed light fixture mountable in a ceiling, the recessed light fixture having an optic housing including therein an LED light source and an optic mount adjacent to the LED light source to connect an optical component relative to the LED light source, the trim assembly comprising:
a mixing chamber including a first end and an opposite second end, the first end having a chamber opening to receive an LED light source, the second end having an optical lens, the mixing chamber mechanically connectable to the optic mount inside of the optic housing, the mixing chamber to direct light from the LED light source out through the optical lens on the second end; a hyperbolic reflector having a narrow top opening, a wide bottom opening and a hyperbolic wall extending from the narrow top opening toward the wide bottom opening, the second end of the mixing chamber to be positioned in the hyperbolic reflector through the narrow top opening, when the mixing chamber is inserted into the optic housing; and a reflector mounting assembly, connected to the hyperbolic reflector, to mechanically mount the reflector in the optic housing.
