Abstract:
1. A modular lighting system comprising: a rigid, elongate rail member including a longitudinally-extending base member and first and second longitudinally-extending, upstanding sidewalls disposed on opposite transverse sides of the base member, the base member and the first and second sidewalls cooperating to define a longitudinally-extending main channel; said base member having an inward-facing surface and an outward-facing surface, and further including a plurality of longitudinally-extending base channels formed on the outward facing surface thereof; each of said first and second sidewalls having an inward-facing surface and an outward-facing surface, each of said first and second sidewalls further including one or more longitudinally-extending side channels formed on the outward facing surface thereof; a connector sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the proximal end receiving and fastened to an end of said rail member, the connector sleeve having an interior shape and dimension substantially similar to said rail member, the distal end for receiving and fastening to an end of a like rail member; a connector fitting comprising a first segment attached to one or more second segments, the first segment having a cross-sectional shape and dimension substantially the same as the rail member and adapted to be received in and fastened to the distal end of said connector sleeve; and each of the one or more second segments having an interior shape and dimension substantially similar to said rail member, the one or more second segments for receiving and fastening to an end of a like rail member.
