Lighting fixture
A ceiling fixture may include an enclosure, a light source, at least a portion of the light source is received within the enclosure, and a fire mitigation system coupled to the enclosure. The fire mitigation system may include a plate moveably disposed within the enclosure, a spring arm having an enclosure coupling end and a plate coupling end, the enclosure coupling end coupled to the enclosure and the plate coupling end coupled to the plate, and a fire resistant material.
1 . A ceiling fixture comprising:
an enclosure;
a light source, at least a portion of the light source is received within the enclosure; and
a fire mitigation system coupled to the enclosure, the fire mitigation system comprising:
a plate moveably disposed within the enclosure;
a spring arm having an enclosure coupling end and a plate coupling end, the enclosure coupling end coupled to the enclosure and the plate coupling end coupled to the plate; and
a fire resistant material,
wherein the spring arm includes a sloped region extending between the plate coupling end and the enclosure coupling end such that compression of the spring arm causes the spring arm to move towards a horizontal position.
2 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 , wherein the fire resistant material is coupled to the plate.
3 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 , wherein the fire resistant material is an intumescent material disposed between an end wall of the enclosure and the plate.
4 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the light source is configured to compress the spring arm.
5 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 further comprising a ceiling catch pivotally coupled to the enclosure.
6 . The ceiling fixture of claim 5 further comprising a catch lock configured to selectively restrain pivotal movement of the ceiling catch.
7 . The ceiling fixture of claim 6 , wherein the catch lock is pivotally coupled to the enclosure and configured to pivot between a locked position and an unlocked position.
8 . The ceiling fixture of claim 7 , wherein a detent mechanism is formed between the enclosure and the catch lock, the detent mechanism configured to selectively retain the catch lock in the locked position.
9 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 , wherein the spring arm includes a spring leg configured to engage the fire resistant material.
10 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 , wherein the spring arm includes a sloped region extending between the plate coupling end and the enclosure coupling end such that compression of the spring arm causes the spring arm to move towards a horizontal position.
11 . The ceiling fixture of claim 1 , wherein the sloped region curves about an axis of curvature without completely enclosing the axis of curvature and, wherein, the axis of curvature intersects the plate and an end wall of the enclosure.
12 . An enclosure for coupling to a ceiling fixture for a light source comprising:
a plate moveable between a deployed position and an undeployed position;
a spring arm coupled to the plate and configured to urge the plate toward the deployed position; and
a fire resistant material coupled to the plate,
wherein the spring arm includes a sloped region extending between the plate coupling end and the enclosure coupling end such that compression of the spring arm causes the spring arm to move towards a horizontal position.
13 . The enclosure of claim 12 , wherein the plate is configured to move from the deployed position to the undeployed position in response to the enclosure being coupled to at least a portion of a lighting assembly.
14 . The enclosure of claim 12 , further comprising a pivoting ceiling catch.
15 . The enclosure of claim 14 , further comprising a catch lock configured to selectively restrain pivotal movement of the ceiling catch.
16 . The enclosure of claim 15 , wherein the catch lock is configured to pivot between a locked position and an unlocked position.
17 . The enclosure of claim 16 , wherein the catch lock is configured to be selectively retained in the locked position.
18 . The enclosure of claim 16 , wherein the catch lock includes a latching arm, a deformable arm, and a deformation channel extending between the latching arm and the deformable arm.
19 . The enclosure of claim 18 , wherein the ceiling catch includes an arm passthrough through which at least a portion of the catch lock extends.
20 . The ceiling fixture of claim 12 , wherein the sloped region curves about an axis of curvature without completely enclosing the axis of curvature and, wherein, the axis of curvature intersects the plate and an end wall of the enclosure.
21 . A ceiling fixture comprising:
an enclosure;
a light source, at least a portion of the light source is received within the enclosure;
a fire mitigation system coupled to the enclosure, the fire mitigation system comprising:
a plate moveably disposed within the enclosure;
a spring arm having an enclosure coupling end and a plate coupling end, the enclosure coupling end coupled to the enclosure and the plate coupling end coupled to the plate; and
a fire resistant material;
a ceiling catch pivotally coupled to the enclosure; and
a catch lock configured to selectively restrain pivotal movement of the ceiling catch, wherein the catch lock includes a latching arm, a deformable arm, and a deformation channel extending between the latching arm and the deformable arm and the ceiling catch includes an arm passthrough through which at least a portion of the catch lock extends.
