Frame and lens upgrade kits for lighting fixtures

Abstract:

Frame and lens upgrade kits for lighting fixtures. A frame bracket defines the frame area, which can be rectangular, for example. A lens frame fits just inside the frame bracket with the lens frame being releasably attached thereto. The frame bracket can be constructed from collapsible frame bracket subassemblies. For example, a rectangular frame bracket may be assembled from first and second collapsible frame bracket subassemblies that fan out and lock together to create a rigid frame bracket. The subassemblies each comprise elongated side and edge brackets that are fastened together such that they can pivot about one another. In some embodiments, one side of the lens frame is attached to a corresponding side of the frame bracket with a rotatable clip that allows the lens frame to swing such that its other side can attach to the bracket frame with an attachment latch, which can be magnetic, for example.
