Patent ID: 8911104

Claim:
An assembly for mounting a cylindrically-shaped light tube to the inside wall of display cases, which light tube consists of LED light components mounted on circuit boards, which are internally mounted on to a pedestal strip, which is internally mounted to the inside plane of said light tube, which is then mounted to a cylindrical mounting bracket comprising: a cylindrical tube whose inside diameter is slightly larger than the outside diameter of said light tube; and a base at one end of said mounting bracket that is to fit flush against said wall of said display case; and a mounting hole in the center of said base to place a mounting screw to attach said mounting bracket to a side of said display case with the option of placing a second mounting screw for a more secure attachment; and the placement of an adhesive on the underside of said base to hold said mounting bracket in place during installation of said mounting screw(s) which also serves to resist twisting of said mounting bracket away from its position on the surface of said wall of said display case; and a lateral cut adjacent and parallel to the base of said cylindrical mounting bracket large enough to permit the placement of a wire harness through the lower half of the mounting bracket and into a wire harness down rod; and a horizontal cut extending at least one-third the length of said cylindrical mounting bracket large enough to fit a connector and said wire harness leading to said circuit board(s); and a ¾ circle notched out of the base of said mounting bracket to accommodate said wire harness for through-the-case wiring; and a threaded hole near the open end opposite of said base of said mounting bracket for placement of a set screw to firmly affix said light tube to said mounting bracket.
