US Patent:

51575795, Oct 20, 1992

Filed:

Sep 25, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/765478

Inventors:

Stanley S. Brenner - Little Neck NY
James N. Pearse - Dix Hills NY
George E. Johnson - Bronxville NY

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Little Neck NY

International Classification:

H02H 504

US Classification:

361103

Abstract:

A heat flow detector is described which measures a predetermined rate of heat flow in its surroundings. The surroundings being in the proximity of a recessed incandescent fixture which is designed to operate safely in the designated environment. Should the operating environment change for the fixture it will be sensed by the heat flow detector. If the operating environment becomes more dangerous so that a fire or other damage may occur the heat flow sensor will turn the incandescent lamp off and on at a slow rate to indicate the changed operating environment. The heat flow detector will cause a slow turn off and on if an oversize lamp is inserted in the incandescent fixture. The heat flow detector will then prevent an overheated condition due to an incorrect bulb.

Abstract:

A heat flow detector is described which measures a predetermined rate of heat flow in its surroundings, the surroundings being in the proximity of a recessed incandescent fixture which is designed to operate safely in the designated environment. Should the operating environment change for the fixture it will be sensed by the heat flow detector.

The heat flow detector will cause a slow turn off and on if an oversize lamp is inserted in the incandescent fixture. The heat flow detector will thus prevent an overloaded condition due to an oversize bulb.

US Patent:

45353980, Aug 13, 1985

Filed:

Aug 20, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/641902

Inventors:

George E. Johnson - Bronxville NY
Stanley Brenner - Massapequa NY

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc. - Little Neck NY

International Classification:

F21V 2114

US Classification:

362404

Abstract:

This invention relates to a unitary liner locking and locking washer device that is positioned between the wall mounting fixture and the vertical bracket support for an incandescent lamp. The unitary device includes a ring element having one end having a resilient upwardly disposed finger that is pressed into a biased position between the threaded portions of the fixture and the bracket. The other end of the ring element has a resilient prong having a hooked tip also upwardly disposed. The prong is unbiased with the tip engaged in a slot in the liner to lock the liner in position and can be biased inwardly to free the liner.
