Removable mounting device and packaging system for lighting product
First Claim
1. A mount used as part of a modular system for holding a lighting strip that is used for temporarily outlining a stage or other structure with lighting, the lighting strip having a lower housing, one or more light bulbs and electrical circuitry, and an upper portion where light from the one or more light bulbs emanates, the lighting strip having a first cable extending out of the lower housing at a first end of the lower housing and a second cable extending out of the lower housing at a second end of the lower housing, the first cable and the second cable in electrical communication with the electrical circuitry, the mount comprising:
- a substantially “
C”
-shaped member having an outer wall, inner wall and a bottom portion and having a first end and a second end and a channel extending from the first end of the “
C”
shaped member to the second end of the “
C”
shaped member, in use for outlining a stage or similar structure with light from the lighting strip, the channel is adapted for receipt of the lower member of the lighting strip and the upper portion of the lighting strip is positioned above the “
”
C”
shaped member and such that light emanating out of the upper portion is visible, and the first cable extends downward at the first end of the “
C”
-shaped member and the second cable extends downward at the second end of the “
C”
-shaped member; and
means for temporarily mounting the “
C”
shaped member to the stage or similar structure such that the “
C”
shaped member and lighting strip are reusable after removalwherein the means for temporarily mounting comprises;
a substantially “
L”
shaped member having a first leg having an outer surface and an inner surface and a second leg having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface of the first leg substantially aligned with an upper surface of the inner wall of the “
C”
-shaped member and the outer surface of the inner wall of the “
C”
-shaped member is in contact with an outer surface portion of the second leg;
a first hook and loop fastening portion disposed on an inner surface portion of the first leg; and
a second hook and loop fastening portion disposed at an outer edge area of the stage or similar structure having an outer planar surface area;
wherein the first hook and loop fastening portion mates with the second hook and loop fastening portion to removably lock the “
C”
shaped member and the “
L”
shaped member to the stage or similar structure such that the lighting strip housed within the channel is positioned along the edge of the stage or similar structure.
