摘要： An apparatus for mounting a recessed electric fixture in a hole in a support surface having a housing and flexible member with attached spring clips to secure the housing against the support surface is disclosed. The flexible member and spring clips are attached to the recessed electric fixture by tightening members, and inward pressure applied to the tightening members causes the flexible member to bend so that the spring clips are moved inwardly towards the housing, allowing the spring clips and the flexible member to pass through the hole in the support surface. The flexible member unbends when the pressure on the tightening members is removed, allowing the spring cops to move outwardly from the housing so that a surface-bearing section of the spring clips bears against the back side of the support surface and retains the electric fixture in the support surface hole.

摘要： An apparatus for mounting a recessed electric fixture in a hole in a support surface having a front side and a back side, the electric fixture having a housing and a flange perpendicular to the housing with apertures adapted to receive a tightening member, the apparatus comprising a flexible member having first and second ends, a first spring clip attached to the first end of the flexible member, and a second spring clip attached to the second end of the flexible member, the first and second spring clips having a tightening section for receiving a tightening member, a surface-bearing section for bearing against the back side of the support surface, and a connecting section connecting the tightening section and the surface-bearing section, whereby when tightening members are inserted through the apertures in the flange and received in the threaded section of the first and second spring clips, pressure applied to the tightening members causes the flexible member to bend so that the first and second spring clips are moved inwardly towards the center of the housing so that the first and second spring clips and the flexible member can pass through the hole and whereby the flexible member unbends when the pressure on the tightening members is removed causing the first and spring clips to move outwardly away from the center of the housing so the surface-bearing section bears against the back side of the support surface to retain the electric fixture in the support surface hole.

摘要翻译： 一种用于将凹入的电气固定装置安装在具有前侧和后侧的支撑表面的孔中的装置，所述电器具具有壳体和垂直于所述壳体的凸缘，所述凸缘适于容纳紧固构件，所述装置包括： 具有第一和第二端的柔性构件，附接到柔性构件的第一端的第一弹簧夹和附接到柔性构件的第二端的第二弹簧夹，第一和第二弹簧夹具有紧固部分， 紧固构件，用于支撑在支撑表面的后侧的表面承载部分和连接该紧固部分和表面承载部分的连接部分，由此当紧固构件通过凸缘中的孔插入并被接纳在 第一和第二弹簧夹的螺纹部分，施加到紧固构件的压力导致柔性构件弯曲，使得第一弹簧夹 并且第二弹簧夹向内朝向壳体的中心移动，使得第一和第二弹簧夹和柔性构件可以穿过孔，并且由此当紧固构件上的压力被移除时柔性构件不弯曲，从而使第一弹簧和弹簧 夹子向外移动远离壳体的中心，使得表面承载部分抵靠支撑表面的后侧，以将电动夹具保持在支撑表面孔中。
