A hanger bar for supporting a recessed light fixture is attachable to ceiling joists or a T-bar grid of a drop down ceiling. First and second bars of the hanger bar slide and telescope. First and second spring clips are detachably coupled to the brackets at the ends of the first and second bars, respectively. Each of the first and second clips has a pair of downwardly extending arms bent inwardly toward one another, a first leg extending from a first arm, a second leg extending from a second arm, and an outwardly-extending foot on the second leg. The spring clips snap on to the T-bar grid. Each bracket includes a nail that is angled away from the hanger bar and downward so that the nail head is below the level of the hanger bar. The angled nails enable easy hammer strikes to attach the hanger bar to ceiling joists without accidental hammer blows to the hanger bar. The bracket may be discrete from the hanger bar but attached via tox clinching or a tab pass-through attachment.

A system and method of releasably mounting a device, usually to a ceiling, is disclosed. The system has a ceiling mounted unit (200) and a device mounted unit (250), releasably joined preferably by an magnetic coupling (202) which engages a floating plate (252) allowing for positive coupling even if the units are misaligned. A safety latch (256) with a locking/latching claw (260) and ejection/disengagement prong (266) provide positive locking and a method of separating the units despite strong adhesion forces.

A suspension system is disclosed for suspending lightheads, monitors, cameras, or other medical apparatus from an overhead structure at a selectable height. A drop tube has a selected portion thereof surroundingly encompassed by a receiving element that has a variable inside diameter substantially conforming to a frustum of a cone. A mounting plate rigidly connects with the overhead structure and with the receiving element. The mounting plate has an opening through which an end of the drop tube passes. A wedge-shaped element has an overall variable outer diameter substantially conforming to a frustum of a cone and includes a lower threaded tapered region. The wedge-shaped element compressively inserts into the receiving element through tightening of a nut on the threaded tapered region. The element surroundingly encompasses the selected portion of the drop tube to effectuate a compressive clamping of the selected portion of the drop tube inside the receiving element.

A lighting device has a single end lamp in which a base is disposed at one end of a bulb, and a single end lamp socket into which the base is to be inserted and then twisted to be rotatively engaged with the socket. The lamp has a projection and a lamp pin both projected from a bottom of the base, the tip end of the projection being further projected from the bottom of the base than the tip end of the lamp pin. The socket has a recess into which the projection of the lamp is inserted and rotated by a predetermined angle, as well as a lamp pin insertion hole positioned outside of the recess and concentric with the recess, and having a substantially arcuate shape. A conductor plate which elastically makes contact with the lamp pin is disposed in the lamp pin insertion hole.

A lighting fixture with a socket base having a closed and cool running back which reduces the amount of heat transferred to the area behind the lamp socket base and allows lower temperature rated wires to be used in the installation of the lamp socket base. The lamp socket base has raised lugs on which the lamp socket rests. A gasket is placed around or between the lamp socket and the lamp socket base and another gasket is placed between the lamp socket base and the wall or ceiling box. The lamp socket base is constructed as one piece such as from a casting. All of these features help to reduce the amount of heat transferred from the lamp socket to the other side of the lamp socket base and also to the wires in the area behind the lamp socket base.

A light assembly includes a lower canopy for securing a lamp shade and having a socket for engaging with a lamp. A bolt sleeve has a lower portion secured to the lower canopy. A bar is secured to a ceiling and includes two slots for securing a ceiling canopy. Another bolt sleeve is engaged through the ceiling canopy and is engaged with the bar. Two couplers are secured to the bolt sleeves and each has a ring for engaging with a chain so as to form a pendent light. The lower canopy may be secured to the ceiling canopy so as to form an overhead lamp.

A ceiling fixture mounting structure including a ceiling fixture holder fixed to the ceiling around the wire hole on the ceiling, a circular mounting plate detachably fastened to the ceiling fixture holder by swivel joint and having a connecting block with a cut at the center, and a ceiling fixture body fastened to the mounting plate by screws, wherein by matching the cut on the connecting block with a stop plate on the ceiling fixture holder, the mounting plate is accurately fastened to the ceiling fixture holder, causing the contact metal plates of on the connecting block respectively and positively disposed in contact with the contact metal plates on the ceiling fixture holder.
摘要:
A ceiling canopy for a pendant light fixture comprising a cup shaped enclosure which serves to conceal the ceiling box and electrical connections and means of suspension of the fixture, with the additional feature of containing a low voltage power supply like e.g. a toroidal transformer surrounding the pendant suspension cord and having, on its external surface, means for mounting one or several individually adjustable lamp holders for low voltage reflector lamps which are powered from said power supply and may be directed towards individual objects in the room.
摘要:
A fender washer comprising a circular metal plate having a circumferential edge and a major portion thereof disposed in a flat plane. An opening as its center receives a screw or other fastener for securing the fender washer to support. A slit extends through the plate and is spaced from the edge, and the portion of the plate between the slit and edge is displaced from the plane of the major portion to form a hanger in the plate.

An electrical coupling device for detachably securing a fixture to an electrical outlet box comprises male and female interconnecting components. The fixture is connected to the male component where the male component is secured to the female component by rotating the male component. The male component has a plurality of catches. The male has a plurality of studs for insertion and engagement with the catches by way of rotational movement of the studs into the catches. The catches are spaced apart in a circular array at a first radius. The improvement comprises at least two spaced apart female resilient clips of electrically conductive metal. The clips are located in a circulr pattern at a second radius on the female component. The male component has at least two spaced-apart contacts of electrically conductive metal. The contacts are located in a circular pattern at the second radius. The male contacts are in register with the clips when the studs are in register with the catches. Rotation of the male component to engage the studs with the catches simultaneously engages the contacts with the clips to depress the clip slightly to ensure electrical contact. The electrical coupling device is characterized by minimal protrusion into the electrical junction box; direct mounting by means of a simple one-step rotation; and applicability to a wide range of fixtures and sizes of electrical outlet boxes; and direct mounting without the requirement of an outlet box.
