Abstract: An alarm device, including a detector and an alarm responsive to the detector, is contained in a housing adapted to be mounted adjacent to a ceiling. The housing is provided by a hollow body having an upper circumferential edge for facing the ceiling and a lower circumferential edge that defines an aperture into the housing interior. A plurality of elastically bendable, elongate members is disposed in the housing around the aperture to engage the surface of an electrical cord to carry the alarm device.

Abstract: A ceiling fitting or cover for covering a connection of an electrical cord to a ceiling surface includes a hollow body having upper and lower circumferential edges. The body has an over-all configuration tapering from the upper to the lower edge, with an inner surface facing an inner space defined within the body. The lower edge defines an aperture into the inner space. A plurality of elastically bendable elongated members, each having a length exceeding the width of the aperture and each having a proximal end and a distal end, is disposed in the body. The proximal ends of the elongated members are located at the inner surface of the body above the aperture, and the elongated members are orientated pointing to the aperture, the distal ends of the elongated members defining a free opening therebetween having a width less than the aperture width.
