ELECTRICAL FIXTURE SUPPORTING DEVICE Filed Feb. 16, 1927 INVENTOR www l 'ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 14, 1933 UNITED STATES ENRY DOLIER, TR-i., OF BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT ELECTRICAL FIXTURE sUProR'riNG DEvIcn Application led February 16, 1927. Serial No. 168,689.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in electrical fixture vtime-consuming, due to the fact that the electrician is working in an inaccessible and diiiicult location, and the fact that the work must be performed directly at the wall or ceiling or other'point where the fixture is to be applied. lVith this old method, in `other words, the electrician is working in cramped quarters, usually not suited for this work and consequently installation is not only rendered tedious, but consumes a great deal "i of time, and frequently the walls or finish of I the buildings in which the fixtures are being installed are defaced and injured.
The invention briefly, therefore, proposes an outlet box to which one member of a twopart electrical connector is afiixed, the connector being of a typewhich enables itsvtwo members to be instantaneously connected disconnected by a mere sliding or other simple relative movement between the members. Thus one member may be wired to the fixture carried by the wall bracket either at the factory or any other location which permits of unhampered manipulation and then applied to the member of the connector which is carried by the outlet box. The fixture is carried by a support, or finishing, or bracket plate which, as is customary, encompasses and conceals the outlet box, means being provided to enable the plate to be easily and quickly connected to the outlet box, as' will be later described.
A further object of the invention is to'provide a device of this character wherein the separable Contact carriers are connected or disconnectedhby a relative lmovement therebetween in a single plane.
` A still further object is to provide meansv independent of the circuit connectors for securing the bracket plate and fixtures carrie-d 55" thereby to the outletbfox, said securing' means being adapted to facilitate the ready p"`os'i.'`v tioning of the parts where outlet boxes are of varying depths or wall finishes vary in" thickness. y f 6G A further purpose is to provide means for securing the fixture against rotation about the outlet box. i' v The invention may be best understood by reference to the laccompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional View of the invention applied to a wall or the like.
Figure 2 is a section' on line lll-II of Figure l. t
Figure 3 is a post shown in the back of 'the outlet box of Figure l.
Figure @is a stud and supporting sleeve assembly for securing the bracket plate toA the outlet box. c Y
Figure 5 is the plain stud ofFi'g'ure' 4. without the telescopic sleeve assembly.
Figure 6 is thev front and cross section of the bridge plate carrying the receptacle part of the connector. n
yFigure 7 is the front and cross section of the plug member. i
In proceeding in accordance with the present invention 1 is an outlet box which may be of any form' or character and which in the instance of Figurel l has an opening 2 in the back thereof for receiving post S. Post 3 is provided with head l which prevents it from passing through opening 2, and lock nuts are employed to secure the post firmly in the back of the outlet box. y
6 is a bridge plate securedV to outlet box 1 by screws 7 seating inthreaded openings 8 in the outlet box. The bridge plate,v 6 has carrying block or receptacle 9 secured there` to vby screws l0. Receptacle contact'V inem-l bers 1l are disposed in block 9 and secured theretoy by screws 12. Also currentv carrying wires are connected with contacts ll by screws l2 and passed through opening 13" in the outlet box. Bridge plate 6 has holes 14, the purpose of which will be later described.
A plug member 15 is composed of a metal plate and a contact carrier block 16 secured thereto by screws 17. The plug carries electrical contact members 18 secured thereto by screws 19. Circuit wires are connected with the plug contacts also by screws 19 and to the light (not shown) supported by the bracket plate. Plug 15 may or may not be connected with bracket plate 20 as desired.
Post 3 is threaded interiorly at 21 to receive telescopic support 22. The other part 23 of telescopic support 22 is provided with shoulder 24, thread 25 and lock nut 26 for securing plug 15 and bracket plate 2O as a unit. Stud 27 passes through lock nut 26, telescopic support 22 and 23 and screws into threads 28 in post 3, dra-wing bracket plate 2O snugly againstthe wall over outlet box 1,
whereupon dowels 29 enter openings 14 in the bridge plate and secure the parts in alignment, the circuit having been completed by plug contacts 18-18 engaging contact memsupport it against movement or slipping on the wall.
From the above it will be apparent that the outlet box 1 is placed in the wall having post 3 secured thereto, and bridge plate 6 secured to the outlet box after circuit wires have been connected to contacts 11. At any convenient location, such as an electrical shop, circuitwires from the light (carried by the bracket plate) are connected to the contacts 18 of plug 15, the iixture thereupon being brought to the location where it is to be installed. The plug member contacts are inserted into the receptacle member and the circuit thus established, dowels 29 lseated in openings 14 and stud 27 `screwed into its threaded seat in post 3 and thus is completed the installation.
If the telescopic support is used part 22 is threaded into post 3, and part 23 is passed through plug 15 and' bracket plate 20 before the electrical connection is made. Part 23 is then slid over part 22 of the telescopic support and the bracket plate, plug contacts and dowels are guided into their relative positions. VThe fixture is secured against lateral movement by the telescopic support and the dowels, while the dowelsalso prevent rotative or lateral movement between the bracket plate and outlet box. Stud 27 is theninserted to secure the parts firmly in place. A very rigid structure is thus provided.
By unscrewing stud 27 the entire fixture together with its wiring may be instantly removed from the outlet box and carried at will to any desired distant point for inspection, repair or replacement of parts, or for any other reason which may require removal, such as cleaning the walls `or hanging pictures, etc.
It will be noted that to install the iixture into position or remove it from the wall a single movement in a single plane is required, the screwing up or unscrewing of stud 27 being to secure into position or release the fixture.
It also will be apparent to those skilled in the art that by providing a threaded opening in the back of the outlet box stud 27 may be screwed thereinto and post 3 together with telescopic supporty 22-23 dispensed with.
It is to be expressly understood that the invention is susceptibleto being practiced by various other modifications, as may fall within the spirit and scope of the following claims and -accordingly the examples given are to be considered in the light of such and not an exhaustive enumeration of all orother ways in which the invention may be practiced.
