Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a channel support system for an elongated lighting system, especially a LED lighting system.
  • the channel support system is intended to be embedded in a mounting surface or located on a mounting surface wherein the mounting surface is a road, pavement, airport runway, ship deck, building side, rock tunnel face or any other mounting surface.
  • Painted lines and other markings on pavements are examples of important safety devices for guiding pedestrians, aircraft, road vehicles and other modes of transportation. At night, in heavy rainstorms, fog, snow, ice etc., there can be major problems in trying to view these markings that often apparently completely disappear from view. This can leave pilots and motorists confused causing difficulty in maintaining their position in relation to obstacles or other vehicles.
  • Elongated lighting systems are known.
  • the elongated lighting system is in the form of a linear extrusion with encapsulated light emitting diodes (LEDs).
  • LEDs encapsulated light emitting diodes
  • Such lighting systems are installed in roads, airport runways and the like as a pavement inset, forming a lit guiding system for vehicles and people that reduces confusion and increases safety by making critical markings on the pavement visible in most weather conditions.
  • Elongated lighting systems typically require a channel support system that is embedded in the ground or other surface and which accommodates the elongated lighting system. The channel support system must protect the integrity of the elongated lighting system, permit easy installation of the elongated lighting system and, if necessary, permit repairs to be carried out.

  • Fig. 1 shows a channel support system, generally indicated by 1.
  • Channel support system 1 has housing 2, which has a base 3 intermediate between arms 4 and 5.
  • Base 3 and arms 4 and 5 generally conform to a U- shape.
  • Base 3 has two grooves 6 and 7, which extend downwardly into base 3.
  • base 3 can be flat, but may also have grooves or protruding ridges to facilitate adherence to glue used to locate and retain the system in place.
  • Base 3 has grooves 6 and 7 that are intended to contain an electrical conductor, as more clearly seen in Fig. 3.
  • Central support member 8 separates grooves 6 and 7. in addition, distal support member 9 is located between groove 6 and arm 4. Similarly, distal support member 10 is located between groove 7 and arm 5.
  • Arms 4 and 5 are shown as being inwardly arcuate, to assist in retention of an elongated lighting system within the channel support system, but in another embodiment could be straight.
  • the internal surface of arms 4 and 5 are shown with a serrated surface, 11 and 12 (see Fig. 1) respectively. In other embodiments, the surfaces are smooth. When serrated, the serrations are preferably angled downwards towards the lower interior of the channel support system, to further assist in retention of an elongated lighting system within channel support system 1.
  • Channel support system 1 has housing 2. Housing 2 has base 3 and arms 4 and 5. Arms 4 and 5 extend for the length of channel support system 1. Base 3 has elongated grooves 6 and 7 that are in a side-by-side parallel relationship throughout the length of the channel support system. Similarly, central support 8 and distal supports 9 and 10 extend for the length of the channel support system.

  • metal pins could extend from electrical conductors 24 and 25 through filler pads 26 and 27, through transparent plastic 28 to contact electrical connectors 22 and 23.
  • any appropriate means of connection may be used.
  • such a connecting system tends to lock together the elongating lighting system 20 and the coated electrical conductors 24 and 25, respectively, thus sealing the system against penetration by fluids (e.g., water).
  • connections from underneath elongating lighting system 20 and coated electrical conductors 24 and 25, respectively, is important, since any weight on the elongating lighting system 20 (e.g., from vehicles) will enhance the electrical connection and further seal the system against water penetration.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates an embodiment of a filler pad 26.
  • Filler pad 26 is shown as having a planar upper surface 30, planar sides 31 and 32 and arcuate or concave lower surface 33. It is understood that arcuate lower surface 33 is intended to conform to the shape of electrical conductors 24 and 25.
  • Filler pad 26 would normally be made of a non-conductive material (e.g., EPDM rubber or Neoprene) and preferably would be compressible to provide support beneath the elongated lighting system.
  • a non-conductive material e.g., EPDM rubber or Neoprene
  • Fig. 5 shows an alternate embodiment, with an elongated lighting system 20 in position in the channel support system.
  • This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 in that housing 35 has shallower grooves 36 and 37, compared with the grooves of Fig. 1.
  • the grooves 36 and 37 are of a depth such that electrical conductors 24 and 25 make direct contact with elongated lighting system 20.

  • Elongated lighting system 20 has two legs 20A and 20B that extend downwards into grooves 6 and 7, respectively. Filler pads 26 and 27 have been eliminated from this variation of the embodiment of the channel support system.
  • Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the channel support system is intended to remain at least partially above ground level, rather than be embedded in the ground as shown previously in Fig. 3.
  • This embodiment has the channel support system above ground level, although in other embodiments the channel support system may be partially embedded.
  • Arm 4 of Fig. 3, now identified as arm 40 in FIG. 6, is shown as being tapered downwards towards ground 50, being smoothly tapered wedge at taper 41 with ground 50 to ease flow of any vehicle traffic rolling over it.

  • arms 4 and 5 may be level with, or slightly below, the ground as shown in Fig. 3, so that vehicles may readily pass over the elongated lighting system.
  • snow clearing vehicles at airports and on roadways need to be able to pass over the elongated lighting system without the blades from such vehicles either snagging on the channel support system or an elongated lighting system contained therein.
  • the channel support system is placed within the groove in the ground surface, and held in place. For example, this may be done mechanically by drilling a hole through the complete system and inserting fasteners (e.g., flush mounted expansion bolts, using hard setting epoxy resin, or other methods described herein), and/or by having adhesive underneath to assist with retention of the channel support system within the groove in the ground.
  • fasteners e.g., flush mounted expansion bolts, using hard setting epoxy resin, or other methods described herein

Screw 53 is flush with the upper surface of the lighting system, but it could be recessed. It will be noted that LEDs are absent from elongated lighting system 20, as screw orifice 51 is located between units of LEDs 28 and the electrical connectors 22 and 23.

These need to be of sufficient hardness and corrosive resistance to withstand normal use in the particular location of use.
  • the channel support system may be made of a variety of techniques, especially moulding and extrusion. For instance, if the channel support system has a degree of flexibility, the channel support system may be extruded in continuous lengths and stored on rolls prior to installation. In this manner, a long length of channel support system may be installed, and subsequently continuous or modular lengths of an elongated lighting system subsequently may be installed. However, in other embodiments, the channel support system is moulded or extruded in a modular length, and in particular in a modular length that corresponds to the modular length of an elongated lighting system.
  • Fig. 10 shows an alternate embodiment of a filler pad, known as a packer and generally indicated by 52.
  • Packer 52 is shown located within a channel system, shown in dotted lines.
  • Packer 52 has upper plate 54 that rests on distal support member 9 and 10 of channel support system 1.

Electrical access to electrical conductors 80 and 82 would be by penetration of base 78, or by an attached connector system from one or both ends.
  • U-shaped channel 70 could be provided with distal support members (not shown), to provide for a filler pad or packer of appropriate shape to be inserted (e.g., to provide cushioning or other effects for the elongated lighting system).
