HENRY n'oLIna, Ja, or nnijiaenronnioorinnotiiotrr animate-melamine r ixrunn' Application filed July as, 1925. Serial no. 46,728.'

In reading the following description taken in this'form otlthe invention surface conduits 12 connection with the accompanying drawings and 13 are attached to the ceiling. A so k t. forming a part thereof and in which: member 14. is also attached to the ceiling.
Fig. 1 is a View Showing er ain par s in Bands 15ofmetal; or othersuitable material 75 section and others in elevation of a device are slipped on to the conduits 12 and 18, re-. embodying my invention. spectively, before the samev are fastened up Fig. 2 is a view showing an elevation of a against the socket member-141.

A conduit3 opens into the box 1 member Wi t h i a Wires extend through the Condult 3 nected with the terminals of the socket 14 in 40 111) h bOX 111 the usual ythe usual way and a plug 21 to which are at- 90 A wire rod 5 or a member of other su1table' tached wires 22, leading to the lights, maybe 1115661111113 ffistelled'ln the 1 y hill/11.13 lts plugged into the socket so as to complete the ends extend P through OPemngS 1n tha circuit to the lamps carried by the member 20.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a modification of the invention in which a box has in one side a round opening through which the end 26 of the supporting member 27 extends, and the other side has an oblong opening 28 through which the curved end 29 of member 27 may be placed after the end 26, has been passed through the opening on the left hand side of the box. This arrangement permits of the ready removal of the member 27 from the box if such removal is desired. A hook 30 on the light supporting member 31 is placed over the member 27 in the same manner and for the same purpose above described.
By the provision of the above simple means, the light supporting member of a ceiling fixture may be placed in or removed from posltion very easily and without the requirement of any substantialskill or expense, and at the same time all of the advantages and benefits secured by the constructions as heretofore used.
Slight changes may be made in the details without departing-from my invention, as for instance, the hook may be placed on the member 5 and the'loop -on the lamp supporting member. I
1. In a ceiling lighting fixture, the combination of an outlet box, a loop member having its ends passing through the walls of the outlet box and supported thereby, and a lighting fixture having a hook thereon adapted to cooperate with said loop member and be supported thereby.
2. In a ceiling lighting nation of an outlet box, a loop member having its ends passing freelythrough the walls of said outlet box and supported thereby, a lighting fixture conduit having a hook thereon adapted to cooperate with said loop mem her and be supported thereby and a canopy carried by said conduit.
