Mounting device of recessed lighting fitting

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To simply mount a lighting fitting body to an embedding hole of a ceiling surface, by installing metal fittings made of elastic plates to guide grooves of the main body of a recessed lighting fitting in sliding-possible shapes. CONSTITUTION: Guide grooves 5 provided with holes 6 for inserting metal fittings and a plurality of connecting holes 7 are mounted to both sides of the flanks of a main body 1 of a cylindrical lighting fitting with a bottom, which one end is opened. Metal fittings 8 are produced bybending elastic metallic plates in U-shaped forms. This guide portions 9 fitting to the guide grooves 5 of the main body 1 in sliding-free shapes are formed near the bending portions of the metal fittings 8. Holding portions 10 are formed by slightly bending one pieces of the U-shaped metal fittings to the outsides, and handles 12 and connecting pawls 13 are installed to the other pieces 11 by an operating portion. The operating portions 11 of the metal fittings 8 are inserted into the main body 1 from the inserting holes 6, and the fittings 8 are attached to the outsides of the main body 1. The main body 1 is inserted into an embedding hole of a ceiling surface, and the guide portions 9 of the metal fittings 8 are inserted into the guide grooves 5 of the main body 1 by holding the handles 12. The metal fittings 8 are downward pulled, the holding portions 10 are contacted with the ceiling surface, the connecting pawls 13 are inserted into one of the connecting holes 7 of the main body 1 and the metal fittings are connected.
