Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes an anchored base comprising a bollard configured to slide onto an anchor plate and a first extrusion configured to mate the bollard with the anchor plate at a bottom end of the bollard, a cap attachment comprising a second extrusion configured to mate with the bollard at a top end of the bollard, a fixture head comprising a third extrusion disposed on an LED optical chamber and a front cap, wherein the third extrusion is configured to mate with the front cap, and a first fixture head attachment disposed on an exterior surface of the bollard at a top end, wherein the first fixture head attachment includes a fourth extrusion configured to mate with the fixture head and operatively connect the fixture head with the anchored base, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth extrusions are configured to respectively mate at four regions of contact to flushly visually obscure one or more screws.

Claims (30)

1. A lighting apparatus comprising:

an anchored base comprising a bollard configured to slide onto an anchor plate and a first extrusion configured to mate the bollard with the anchor plate at a bottom end of the bollard;

a cap attachment comprising a second extrusion configured to mate with the bollard at a top end of the bollard;

a fixture head comprising a third extrusion disposed on an LED optical chamber and a front cap, wherein the third extrusion is configured to mate with the front cap; and

a first fixture head attachment disposed on an exterior surface of the bollard at a top end, wherein the first fixture head attachment includes a fourth extrusion configured to mate with the fixture head and operatively connect the fixture head with the anchored base,

wherein the first, second, third, and fourth extrusions are configured to respectively mate at four regions of contact to flushly visually obscure one or more screws.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the anchor plate further comprises an anchoring system and an anchor bolt.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bollard is secured to the anchor plate with one or more locking screws.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a locking screw secures the anchored base to a counterbore in the bollard.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first extrusion can be configured to link the anchored base more strongly to the bollard.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cap attachment is configured to operatively connect the fixture head with the anchored base.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cap attachment is secured by one or more screws.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more screws are visually obscured by a head cover.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the LED optical chamber is secured to the fourth extrusion by one or more screws.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one or more screws are visually obscured by the front cap.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the LED optical chamber is operatively connected to a drive assembly.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the drive assembly is operatively connected to a main body assembly disposed within the bollard.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first fixture head attachment is secured to the fourth extrusion by one or more screws.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the one or more screws are visually obscured by one or more counterboles.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the one or more screws is secured by one or more counterboles.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second fixture head attachment disposed on an exterior surface of the bollard at a top end and distally from the first fixture head attachment.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the second fixture head attachment includes a fifth extrusion configured to mate with the fixture head and operatively connect the fixture head with the anchored base.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth extrusions are configured to respectively mate at four points of contact to flushly visually obscure one or more screws.

19. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more screws are held in position by one or more non-loadbearing counterboles.

20. A method of mating a slide attachment comprising:

joining to an anchored base, wherein the anchored base includes a bollard configured to slide onto an anchor plate and a first extrusion configured to mate the bollard with the anchor plate at a bottom end;

joining a cap attachment, wherein the cap attachment includes a second extrusion configured to mate with the bollard at a top end;

joining a fixture head, wherein the fixture head includes a third extrusion disposed on an LED optical chamber and a front cap, wherein the third extrusion is configured to mate with the front cap; and

joining a first fixture head attachment disposed on an exterior surface of the bollard at a top end, wherein the first fixture head attachment includes a fourth extrusion configured to mate with the fixture head and operatively connect the fixture head with the anchored base,

wherein the first, second, third, and fourth extrusions are configured to respectively mate at four points of contact to flushly obscure one or more screws.
