Lighting system for pivotally mounting an elongated light bar to a support structure

摘要

A lighting system configured to mount an elongated light bar to a mountable surface of a support structure, such as a roll bar, roll cage or other component of a motor vehicle. The light bar has a linear light module disposed in a housing that is configured to produce light therefrom. The lighting system has a first mounting assembly pivotally attached to the first end of the light bar and a second mounting assembly pivotally attached to the second end of the light bar. Each mounting assembly has a mounting member connected to a mechanism that removably attaches to the mountable surface. The mounting mechanism may be configured to clamp to a tubular or other shaped surface or abut against a planar surface. In one configuration, the mounting mechanism fully encircles the mountable surface. The lighting system may also include a mechanism for limiting pivotal movement of the light bar.

主权项

1. A lighting system, comprising:
at least one elongated light bar having a first end and a second end, said light bar comprising a housing structured and arranged to house at least one linear light module so as to discharge light from said light module through a transparent surface of said housing, said at least one light module configured to produce said light, said transparent surface of said housing generally disposed between said first end and said second end of said light bar along a side of said light bar; a first mounting assembly pivotally attached to said first end of said light bar; and a second mounting assembly pivotally attached to said second end of said light bar, wherein each of said first mounting assembly and said second mounting assembly comprise a means for removably mounting said light bar to a mountable surface of a support structure and a mounting member interconnecting said mounting means and said light bar, said mounting member having have a first end adjacent said housing of said light bar and a second end attached to or integral with said mounting means.
