Abstract: An electrical fixture mounting device for hanging an electrical fixture, such as a fan or light, from a suspended ceiling having a criss-cross framework of perpendicular supporting members supported from an overhead support structure. The device includes a box having a closed top, an open bottom, a continuous side wall, and slots in the side wall extending inwardly from the open bottom and configured to engage the supporting members. A wire is fastened at one end to the box and at its other end to the overhead support structure to suspend the box from the overhead support structure.
Abstract: An outlet box for mounting a fixture, such as a fan or a light, from a ceiling. Adjustable hanger screw mountings permit the mounting of a wide variety of fixtures to the box.

Abstract: An extensible hanger support providing a spanning connection between two spaced-apart joists or the like for supporting therefrom such items as ceilings fans, lights fixtures and the like. The support includes first and second extensible members which are telescopically axially movable between a fully collapsed condition and a fully extended condition. These extensible members employ cooperative means which are normally in threaded engagement in such a manner that high speed rotation of one of the members relative to the other results in axial movement toward either the fully collapsed condition or the fully extended condition depending upon the direction of rotation. Each of these extensible members has a free end which carries joist engaging means for respectively engaging a ceiling joist.
