Abstract

A light fixture includes an adjustable bracket, a pivot plate, a lamp bracket, and a lamp. The adjustable bracket is rotatable about a first axis. The pivot plate is connected to the adjustable bracket and rotatable about a second axis different from the first axis. The lamp bracket is removably connected to the pivot plate. The lamp is connected to the lamp bracket.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A light fixture assembly comprising:
an adjustable bracket rotatable about a first axis configured to extend through a structural opening;
a pivot plate connected to the adjustable bracket and rotatable about a second axis different from the first axis;
a lamp bracket movably connected to the pivot plate to adjust the position of the lamp bracket in the direction of the second axis and relative to the structural opening; and
a lamp connected to the lamp bracket.

2. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
the adjustable bracket includes an aperture and the pivot plate includes an arcuate slot aligned with the aperture.

3. The light fixture of claim 2 , wherein
a tensioning assembly passes through the aperture and the arcuate slot.

4. The light fixture of claim 2 , wherein
a securing element passes through the aperture and the arcuate slot.

5. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
the lamp bracket slidably engages the pivot plate.

6. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
the lamp bracket includes an open ended slot for slidably receiving a fastener connected to the pivot plate.

7. The light fixture of claim 6 , wherein
the lamp bracket can be connected to and removed from the pivot plate without removable of a fastener component.

8. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
the adjustable bracket is rotatably connected to the top wall of a housing.

9. The light fixture of claim 8 , wherein
a securing element extends through the adjustable bracket to engage the top wall.

10. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
the lamp bracket includes a first section, a second section extending above the first section, and a third section extending from the second section and away from the first section.

11. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
the pivot bracket includes a first portion connected to the adjustable bracket and a second portion spaced above the first portion and extending from the first portion toward the structural opening, and wherein the lamp bracket is connected to the second portion.

12. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein
a flange extends from the pivot bracket to support the lamp bracket in the direction of the first axis.

13. A light fixture assembly comprising:
an adjustable bracket infinitely positionable through a first range of angles about a first axis;
a pivot plate rotatably connected to the adjustable bracket and infinitely positionable through a second range of angles about a second axis different from the first axis;
a tension assembly applying a force to the pivot plate to resist rotation between the pivot plate and the adjustable bracket;
a securing element configured to secure the pivot plate at a position within the second range of angles; and
a lamp connected to the pivot plate.

14. The light fixture of claim 13 , wherein
the tension assembly includes a biasing member.

15. The light fixture of claim 13 , wherein
the first range of angles is approximately 0 to approximately 180 degrees and the second range of angles is approximately 0 to approximately 30 degrees.

16. The light fixture of claim 13 , wherein
a lamp bracket connects the lamp to the pivot plate.

17. The light fixture of claim 13 , wherein
the pivot plate includes a first arcuate slot receiving at least a portion of the tensioning assembly and a second arcuate slot spaced from the first arcuate and receiving at least a portion of the securing element.

18. The light fixture of claim 17 , wherein
the first arcuate slot is positioned above the second arcuate slot.

19. A light fixture assembly comprising:
a housing having a top wall and an opening;
an adjustable bracket rotatably connected to the top wall and rotatable about a first axis;
a pivot plate rotatably connected to the adjustable bracket and rotatable about a second axis different from the first axis;
a lamp bracket movably connected to the pivot plate to adjust the position of the lamp bracket relative to the opening; and
a lamp connected to the lamp bracket.

20. The light fixture assembly of claim 19 , wherein
the lamp bracket is removably connected to the pivot plate.

21. The light fixture assembly of claim 19 , wherein
a flange extending from the pivot plate is configured to support the lamp bracket in the direction of the first axis.

22. The light fixture assembly of claim 19 , wherein
the lamp includes a heat sink connected to a first side of the lamp bracket and a light emitter connected to a second side of the lamp bracket.

23. The light fixture assembly of claim 19 , further comprising
a tension assembly applying a force to the pivot plate to resist rotation between the pivot plate and the adjustable bracket, and
a securing element configured to secure the pivot plate at a position within the second range of angles.
