Abstract: A method and apparatus for tamper resistant device attachment to a mounting surface is disclosed. A remotely attachable and separable coupling system has: a base member that is attachable to the surface; a covered mount with a cover as a front side suitable for attaching the device thereto; a coupling that removably couples the back side of the mount to the base member such that the base member, the coupling, and a back side of the mount are enclosed between the cover and the mounting surface; and an attachment of the device to the front side of the mount is such that the attachment is only accessible for operation from the back side of the mount. The attachment is inherently tamper resistant in that a tool is required to uncouple it. Attaching the system components as taught makes all parts of the system including attached devices tamper resistant, and applying lock and key technology enhances this.

Abstract: A mounting system for attaching a track lighting head to a track includes an interim assembly including a track attachment device adapted to selectively attach the interim assembly to the track, a track head, and a remotely operable head attachment device for attaching the track head to the interim assembly. An attachment design of the track attachment device is different than an attachment design of the head attachment device.

Abstract: An article for mounting from or against the ceiling is removably coupled to a base fixedly secured to the ceiling, by a person standing on the floor, supporting the article on an elongated rod, and thrusting the article against the base to couple the article and the secured base. The article is removed by inserting the rod into the article, exerting a force on the rod to uncouple the article from the base, and supporting the article on the rod as the article is lowered. The article is thus positioned on or hung from the ceiling, without being manually contacted by the person. The article may be used to mount other devices, such as a sign, smoke detector, etc. or may include such device as a part of the mount.
