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 17):
A lighting system comprising:\n a lightguide comprising two major surfaces, a first edge, and a second edge, the first edge and the second edge formed between the two major surfaces; a light source disposed adjacent the first edge to couple light into the lightguide; a frame member that defines a recess and receives the second edge of the lightguide therein; and one or more spring arms secured to a bottom of the recess and configured to contact the second edge of the lightguide and apply a spring force to the second edge to urge the first edge of the lightguide toward the light source.
