Appeal No. 1998-2376 Page 3
Application No. 08/400,325
The appellant's invention is a housing for a linear
direct-indirect lighting fixture wherein all of the components
of the housing including the light screens are fabricated from
a single extruded part. The housing includes opaque,
elongated sidewalls having a top edge defining a top opening
for providing indirect lighting, a corresponding elongated
opaque central housing structure extending in parallel with
the sidewalls, and an elongated light baffle plate
interconnecting the sidewalls and central housing structure.
The single extrusion construction of the invention greatly
simplifies the assembly and manufacture of the fixture and
eliminates unsightly seams and leakage points in the fixture
housing.
Claim 1, which is representative for our purposes,
