Light Module

View page
US Patent:
7815339, Oct 19, 2010
Filed:
Jan 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/351380
Inventors:
Thomas J. Veenstra - Zeeland MI, US
David L. Hiemstra - Hudsonville MI, US
Scott C. Heupel - Wyoming MI, US
Assignee:
Innotec Corporation - Zeeland MI
International Classification:
F21V 33/00
US Classification:
36224902, 362800, 36231102
Abstract:
A light module includes one or more LEDs that are encapsulated in a thermoplastic polymer material. Metal conductors and electrical components providing a power supply circuit for the LED are also encapsulated in the thermoplastic polymer material. The conductive material may include a pair of relatively rigid portions that project outwardly from the thermoplastic polymer material to provide for electrical connection of the light module. The body may include connecting surface portions that permit the light module to be connected to a conventional electrical receptacle or the like, such that the light module can be mechanically and electrically connected to a socket or other connector previously utilized for incandescent bulbs.

Lens System For Led Lights

US Patent:
7837359, Nov 23, 2010
Filed:
Apr 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/100016
Inventors:
Joshua M. Danek - Holland MI, US
Thomas J. Veenstra - Zeeland MI, US
Assignee:
Innotec Corporation - Zeeland MI
International Classification:
F21V 5/02
US Classification:
362309, 362336, 362337, 362339
Abstract:
An optical device for distributing light produced by a white LED or other light-producing device includes a lens portion that refracts the light to provide a desired light intensity distribution, and a collimating portion that internally reflects light from the white LED. The optical device may be molded from an acrylic polymer material or the like. The reduced thickness of the device facilitates low cycle times and reduces warpage or other distortion that would otherwise be generated during the molding process.

Aug 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/842606
Inventors:
Thomas J. Veenstra - Zeeland MI, US
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI, US
Matthew S. Weeda - Hudsonville MI, US
Michael L. Lanser - Holland MI, US
Kyle A. Israels - Zeeland MI, US
Jason R. Mulder - Zeeland MI, US
Mark W. Vander Pol - Edgerton MN, US
Assignee:
Innotec Corporation - Zeeland MI
International Classification:
F21V 21/00
US Classification:
36224905, 362267, 36224902, 362310
Abstract:
An electrical device such as an LED light assembly includes a conductive circuit and one or more electrical components connected to the circuit. The electrical components and the circuit are at least partially overmolded with a thermoplastic polymer material to encapsulate the components. The material utilized to cover the circuit and/or electrical components may also be utilized to form a housing or other structure of a finished part.

Overmolded Circuit Board And Method

View page
US Patent:
8230575, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
Dec 12, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/333397
Inventors:
Thomas J. Veenstra - Zeeland MI, US
Jason R. Mulder - Zeeland MI, US
Eric L. Fleischmann - Holland MI, US
Assignee:
Innotec Corporation - Zeeland MI
International Classification:
H05K 5/00
H05K 7/00
US Classification:
295921, 361737, 361751, 361752, 174377, 174378
Abstract:
An electrical device includes a circuit board having one or more electrical components mounted to the circuit board. At least a portion of the circuit board is encapsulated in a thermoplastic polymer material to encapsulate the electrical components. The device may be fabricated by at least partially shielding the electrical components with polymer material, followed by overmolding the polymer material with thermoplastic polymer material. The shielding material may comprise a pre-formed component, or it may comprise thermoplastic polymer material that is molded around the electrical components in a first molding step or “shot”.

Light For Vehicles

US Patent:
20080253140, Oct 16, 2008
Filed:
Mar 19, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/051512
Inventors:
Eric L. Fleischmann - Holland MI, US
Nick J. DeVries - Holland MI, US
Thomas J. Veenstra - Zeeland MI, US
Michael K. Judge - Livonia MI, US
International Classification:
B60Q 1/00
H05K 3/30
US Classification:
362487, 362511, 29832
Abstract:
A light for motor vehicles and the like includes one or more LEDs that are embedded in a polymer material. The light may be positioned on an exposed surface of the vehicle, and the encapsulation of the LEDs and other electrical components provides a waterproof assembly that is substantially impervious to ambient conditions. The light may include a light source and a light guide that are disposed in a watertight housing.

F25D 27/00
F25D 25/02
F21V 8/00
Abstract:
An illumination assembly including a light pipe and a light supply for use in illuminating shelf dividers on a shelf. The light pipe includes a first end portion including a light inlet, a second end portion including a light outlet, and a body portion extending between the first and second end portions. The light supply directs light into the light inlet, whereby at least a portion of the light subsequently exits the light pipe through the light outlet. When the first end portion is positioned adjacent a rear edge of the shelf, the body portion extends from the rear edge to a front edge of the shelf. The light pipe is configured to transmit at least a portion of the light emitted by the light supply from the light inlet to the light outlet to illuminate an area adjacent the shelf front edge.
