Abstract:
Embodiments described herein are directed to a lighting fixture including a lightguide that distributes light from a major surface, a light assembly including light sources arranged linearly, and a frame including a means for providing a force that urges the light assembly against an edge of the lightguide. A standoff or spacer can provide an air gap between a light source of the light assembly and the waveguide edge. In various embodiments, the lighting fixture may incorporate a spring, a spring finger, a spring clip, a screw, or other means for securing the light assembly against the edge of the lightguide. In this manner, substantially all light provided by the light assembly is emitted into the edge of the lightguide. The fixture is formed to accommodate tolerances among elements of the lighting fixture, while maintaining the light assembly securely against the edge of the lightguide.

Claim (Index 10):
A lighting system comprising:\n a light source bracket comprising a light source disposed on a first surface of the light source bracket, a lightguide comprising two major surfaces and an edge formed between the two major surfaces; a frame that includes:\n a base, \n a sidewall disposed along a perimeter of the base, the sidewall being substantially perpendicular to the base; \n one or more light assembly seats that are disposed on the base, the one or more light assembly seats configured to support the light source bracket and a portion of the lightguide such that the light source is positioned adjacent the edge of the lightguide to couple light into the lightguide; and \n one or more spring fingers that are disposed and positioned on the base such that when the light source bracket is seated on the one or more light assembly seats, the one or more spring fingers engage the light source bracket to urge the light source toward the edge of the lightguide.
