Claim 1
Independent Claim
294 words
An improved two-level suspended lamp frame comprising: a mount adapted to be fastened onto a ceiling, a junction box extending below the mount, and a pendant fixture inserted at sides of the mount and the junction box, wherein: the mount has insertion holes formed in the sides that provide for entry of pendant fixture upper insertion pegs; a coupling spring having two inward closured retentive ends disposed at an interior face of each insertion hole, with the coupling springs configured to clip onto the upper insertion pegs; the junction box has openings in which mounting blocks are fitted, the mounting blocks having a pair of retaining elements; a tensile part; a sleeved hole formed in each mounting block; clevis tabs formed along two sides said mounting block whereby said retaining elements are installed on the clevis tabs; the tensile parts are fastened onto tops of the mounting blocks with a front extremity of each said tensile part bent upward to form a lower insertion peg engagement end; each retaining element has hook nibs and a horizontal insert surface that is hinged onto the mounting blocks, with an elastic component secured to the hook nibs of each pair of retaining elements, such that, under normal conditions, the elastic component pulls the hook nibs towards an inside of the sleeved holes; the pendant fixture is positioned in alignment with the mount openings and has upper insertion pegs, each upper insertion peg being inserted into the mount, such that the coupling spring clips onto the upper insertion peg; and the pendant fixture is also positioned in alignment with the mounting block's sleeved holes and has rectangular lower insertion pegs, each peg inserted into the junction box, and is arrested by the engagement end of said tensile part.

An improved two-level suspended lamp frame comprising: a mount adapted to be fastened onto a ceiling, a junction box extending below the mount, and a pendant fixture inserted at sides of the mount and the junction box, wherein: the mount has insertion holes formed in the sides that provide for entry of pendant fixture upper insertion pegs; a coupling spring having two inward closured retentive ends disposed at an interior face of each insertion hole, with the coupling springs configured to clip onto the upper insertion pegs; the junction box has openings in which mounting blocks are fitted, the mounting blocks having a pair of retaining elements; a tensile part; a sleeved hole formed in each mounting block; clevis tabs formed along two sides said mounting block whereby said retaining elements are installed on the clevis tabs; the tensile parts are fastened onto tops of the mounting blocks with a front extremity of each said tensile part bent upward to form a lower insertion peg engagement end; each retaining element has hook nibs and a horizontal insert surface that is hinged onto the mounting blocks, with an elastic component secured to the hook nibs of each pair of retaining elements, such that, under normal conditions, the elastic component pulls the hook nibs towards an inside of the sleeved holes; the pendant fixture is positioned in alignment with the mount openings and has upper insertion pegs, each upper insertion peg being inserted into the mount, such that the coupling spring clips onto the upper insertion peg; and the pendant fixture is also positioned in alignment with the mounting block's sleeved holes and has rectangular lower insertion pegs, each peg inserted into the junction box, and is arrested by the engagement end of said tensile part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The improved two-level suspended lamp frame of claim 1 wherein the mounting blocks fitted into the junction box's openings are each fastened by a mounting ring against an outer circumference of the junction box at positions where the sleeved holes pass through the junction box.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
The improved two-level suspended lamp frame of claim 1 wherein the clevis tabs have upper and lower spaced apart portions that are symmetrical in profile and each retaining element is an L-shaped structure with said horizontal insert surface placed into a space formed between said upper and lower portions of the mounting block; and a pin inserted through the clevis tabs and the retaining element to attach the retaining elements to the mounting blocks.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The improved two-level suspended lamp frame of claim 1 wherein the lower insertion pegs have tips forming snap-fit ends and wherein each snap-fit end is arrested by the engagement end of the said tensile part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The improved two-level suspended lamp frame of claim 1 wherein the junction box openings have a polygonal shape.
