US Classification:

362147, 362365, 362453, 362306, 362364

Abstract:

A recessed lighting fixture includes a frame having an aperture and at least one mount and a reflector including at least one torsion spring configured to be received in the mount when the reflector is mounted to the frame. A recessed lighting fixture also includes a frame and a reflector. The frame includes an aperture and a pair of mounts separated around a circumference of the aperture in a first direction that differs from a distance in a second direction (i. e. , by an angle of other than 180Â). The reflector includes a pair of torsion springs separated around a circumference of the reflector in the same way. The reflector is designed to be received in the mount when the reflector is mounted to the frame. The aperture may be a noncircular opening. A junction box that can be used with a recessed lighting fixture includes a retaining spring and a plate having at least one edge having a slot cut into the edge.

International Classification:

F21S 802

US Classification:

362365, 362147, 362368

Abstract:

A recessed lighting fixture for mounting to a ceiling includes a housing, a frame, and at least one locking assembly. The housing includes a side wall, an opening, a lip extending outwardly around at least a portion of a circumference of the opening, and a slot in the side wall. The frame has an aperture sized for slidably receiving the housing. The at least one locking assembly is configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position and is mountable in the slot. When in the locked position, the locking assembly exerts a force to compress the ceiling between the lip and the frame.

US Classification:

362285, 362148, 362365, 362429

Abstract:

An adjustable light fixture includes a fixture assembly, a rotation adjustment assembly, and an angle adjustment assembly. The rotation adjustment assembly is configured to receive a lamp, orient the lamp relative to the fixture assembly, and maintain the orientation of the lamp relative to the fixture assembly when the lamp is removed and replaced. The angle adjustment assembly is movably connected to the fixture assembly and is configured to adjust the angle between the fixture assembly and the rotation adjustment assembly. A method of relamping an adjustable light fixture includes providing an adjustable light fixture, installing a lamp in the rotation adjustment assembly from above or below the adjustable light fixture, and adjusting the rotational or angular orientation of the fixture.

US Classification:

362366, 362148, 362365, 362418, 248906

Abstract:

A mounting assembly includes a stationary plate for supporting and linearly adjusting a recessed fixture in a parallel direction relative to structural framing members. Telescoping mounting bars are fixed to a building structure and allow adjustability of the stationary plate in a direction generally perpendicular to structural framing members. An adjustable plate has a plurality of linear guides received in a linear movable manner within a corresponding one of linear guide slots of the stationary plate. A linear locking member is adjustably secured in one of the linear guide slots such that linear movement of the adjustable plate is prevented relative to the stationary plate when the linear locking member is in a locked position, linear movement of the adjustable plate being allowed relative to the stationary plate in a direction parallel to the structural framing members when the linear locking member is in an adjustable position.
