Abstract:
Described herein is a demountable assembly comprising a guide structure and a bracket. The guide structure defines a passageway, an opening to the passageway and an aperture extending to the passageway and positioned proximal the at least one opening. The bracket has a free end and an abutment for being received into the passageway through the opening with the passageway being shaped and dimensioned for limiting travel of the bracket to along the passageway. The bracket has a beveled notch positioned for aligning with the aperture when the bracket is received into the passageway such that when a plunger is disposed into the aperture towards the passageway, the plunger engages with the beveled notch to further draw and bias the bracket into the passageway and the abutment towards the opening of the passageway.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention describe a light guide apparatus (10) comprising a block (100) with at least one embedded light guiding element (200). In one embodiment, the light guiding element may extend between non -opposing surfaces of the block. The light guiding element has a first end and a second end disposed at the non-opposing surfaces of the block, and is capable of guiding light between the first end and a second end. In certain embodiments where multiple light guiding elements are used, first ends of the light guiding elements may be distributed across a first surface of a block while second ends of the light guiding elements may be bundled at a second opposing or non-opposing surface of the block. The light guide apparatus is manufactured by securing the ends of the light guiding elements in a molding tray and curing molten material supplied to the molding tray.
