WALL FIXTURE.
Application filed December 6, 1926. Serial No. 153,024.
1 it being employed for securing the fixture firmly in the position to which it has been moved during the attaching operation.`
A further object is to provide a fixture the marginal portion of which will bind firmly against the supporting surface so that the attaching means will be completely concealed and no open spaces will be left between the fixture and the supporting surface in which dirt can accumulate.
IVith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear. as the description proceeds,` the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings, the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings, Figure l is a i'ear perspective'yiew of the fixture, a portion being broken away.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the attaching fixture used in connection therewith.
Figure 3 is a central vertical section through the fixture and .its attaching means.
-1o Figure 4 is a section on line 1 -4, Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a section through the base portion of the fixture, said section being taken on the line 5.5, Figure 4.
Referring to the figures reference l designates the llow base of the fixture, said base having a flat back surface 2 formed with a central opening 3. The walls of this opening are formed of opposed arcuate flanges spaced apart at their ends to provide notches 4 diametrieally opposed. The flanges are each provided, adjacent the centers of their inner faces, with rounded lugs 5 and at the points where these lugs are by characters of 1 located the flanges are thickest, the inner faces of the flanges being inclined away from the lugs toward thenotches 4. This will be apparent by referring to Fi `ure 5 wherein the inclined faces of the anges have been indicated at 6.
rlhe means employed for attaching the fixture to a flat wall or other surface con sists of a metal strip 7 having its ends offsetas at 8, these offset portions being supported in the saine plane and each having an opening 9 therein. The strip is attached to the wall by screws 10 or the like extending therethrough near its center.
In practice the strip 7 is attached to a wall and thereafter the fixture l is positioned so that the offset ends 8 will pass through the notchesa in the base 2. The fixture is then given substantially a one-quarter turn and the ends`8 will ride along the inclined faces of the flanges until the lugs 5 are reached. By then exerting greater force upon the fixture the lugs 5 will be forced under the ends 8 so that they will be sprung to position where the lugs can enter the apertures 9. 'The fixture will therefore be securely held and all portions of its margin will be clamped tightly against thewall.
What is claimed is l. A wall fixture including an attaching plate having offset resilient end portions provided with apertures, a fixturehaving a hollow base for the reception of the plate, and means on one of the `members operated by the rotation of the fixture relative to the plate for engaging in the apertures of theiplate to hold the fixture and plate against accidental relative rotation.
2 A wall `fixture including an `attaching plate `having offset resilient end portions provided with apertures, a fixture having a hollow base for the reception of the plate, opposed spaced arcuate flangcscarried by the base, each'flange increasing in thickness toward its center from its ends, and a projection upon the thick portion of each flange for snap engagement, with one of the apertured ends of the plate.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have.. hereto aflixed my signature.V
