20220290819 | GAS CYLINDER VALVE WITH RADIALLY EXTENDING OPERATING HANDLE - A valve comprising a body with an inlet, an outlet and a passage fluidly interconnecting the inlet and outlet; a shut-off device of the passage, with an actuating member movable along a longitudinal axis; a hand operating device of the actuating member, for selectively opening or closing the passage, and comprising a support element and a rotating element with at least one contact surface configured for sliding along at least one ramped surface on the support element, or vice versa, so as to convert rotation of the rotating element into a translation of the actuating member; wherein the body comprises two arms extending longitudinally and diametrically opposed relative to the longitudinal axis, with distal ends holding the support element. | 2022-09-15 |
20220290820 | COLOR CONTROLLABLE LED FILAMENT AND LAMP WITH SUCH A FILAMENT - A LED filament including a linear array of LEDs arranged on a carrier substrate, wherein the linear array is divided into two separate longitudinal sections, a first longitudinal section including only LEDs configured to emit white light, and a second longitudinal section including only LEDs configured to emit color controllable light. The present invention suggests confining the color LEDs to the second longitudinal section of the array, so that the first longitudinal section of the array is capable of emitting homogenous white light of a color temperature in the range of the LEDs in that section. | 2022-09-15 |
20220290821 | LIGHTING SYSTEM PROVIDING COMBINED DIRECTIONAL AND AMBIENT LIGHT - Light systems and light fixtures are described herein. In one embodiment, a light system may include a light fixture, a first diffuser attached to the light fixture, where the first diffuser and the light fixture define a cavity, a first LED producing ambient light within the cavity, and a second LED producing directional light in the cavity, where the first diffuser is adapted or configured to receive the ambient light and the directional light and emit the ambient light and the directional light external to the light system. In another embodiment, a light fixture may include a first LED subsystem including a first LED and a diffuser, the first LED subsystem adapted or configured to produce ambient light, a second LED subsystem including a second LED and a reflector, the second LED subsystem adapted or configured to produce directional light, where the directional light passes through the diffuser. | 2022-09-15 |
