ABSTRACT:
A neon tube lighting system, support apparatus and extrusion therefor is described for use in overcoming the problems associated with prior art free-standing neon tube lighting systems. The support assembly preferably comprises an extrusion, a reflector and an elongate lens member. The extrusion has first and second wall members located in substantially parallel aligned relation, and a bottom wall member interconnecting the first and second wall members and including a support, wherein the wall members form an enclosure having an opening therein between the first and second side wall members. Each of said first and second wall members of the extrusion includes an angular member extending into the enclosure towards the bottom wall member to form a bearing surface. The reflector has first and second angular wall members and a bottom wall member interconnecting the first and second angular wall members. According to the invention, each of the first and second angular wall members includes an edge cooperating with the respective bearing surface of the angular member when the reflector is secured to the support means to secure the reflector means in the enclosure. The elongate lens member is preferably V-shaped and is retained by the first and second wall members of the extrusion to close the openings. This construction insures that the neon tubing supporting in the enclosure is secure from weathering and other physical damage.
