A light pipe support assembly (10') for mounting a light pipe in a light fixture includes a support structure (12') having at least one pair of opposed inwardly-extending protrusions (18') and a light pipe (20') having an elongated light-transmissive monofilament core supported on the support structure. The light pipe includes an elongated upper lobe (24) integrally extending from an elongated lower lobe (26'). The lower lobe has an arcuate lateral profile. The light pipe includes an elongated laterally pinched region (28') between the upper lobe and the lower lobe. The pinched region has a width less than the respective widths of the upper and lower lobes. The width of the pinched region is also slightly less than the width of the gap between protrusions (18'). This arrangement allows the light pipe to be supported on the support structure by resting the upper lobe on the protrusions, with the pinched region between the protrusions and the lower lobe suspended below the protrusions.

L'invention porte sur un ensemble (10') support de conducteur de lumière permettant de fixer un conducteur de lumière dans un dispositif d'éclairage et comprenant une structure (12') de support dotée d'au moins une paire de parties saillantes (18') opposées, s'étendant vers l'intérieur, et un conducteur (20') de lumière comportant une âme monofibre, transmettant la lumière, allongée, supportée sur la structure support. Le conducteur de lumière comprend un lobe supérieur (24) allongé s'étendant intégralement depuis un lobe inférieur (26') allongé. Le lobe inférieur a un profil latéral arqué. Le conducteur de lumière comporte une région allongée (28') rétrécissement latéral, située entre le lobe supérieur et le lobe inférieur. La largeur de la région rétrécie est inférieure à celle du lobe supérieur et du lobe inférieur, et est également légèrement inférieure à celle d'un intervalle se trouvant entre les parties saillantes (18'). Cet agencement permet au conducteur de lumière d'être supporté sur la structure de support en reposant sur le lobe supérieur des partis saillantes, la région rétrécie se trouvant entre les parties saillantes et le lobe supérieur en suspension au-dessous des parties saillantes.
