Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tap member for use with a multi-conductor electrical track, e.g. a track having four (4) conductors, namely, three live conduits and a neutral conduit, which tap member is adjustable to enable the same to be connected selectively to any one of the three circuits defined between the live conduits and the neutral conduit.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lighting fixture mount, and more particularly to a heat dissipating or distributing lighting fixture mount which minimizes the transfer of heat generated by an incandescent bulb or the like in the fixture to the junction box providing the electrical power therefor, and most particularly to the screws which fasten the fixture to the junction box and consequently are exposed within the box to possible contact with the insulation of wires within the box. By preventing overheating of the support screws, the possibility of damaging the insulation and creating a short circuit is minimized.

Abstract: A flexible connector is disclosed for electrically and mechanically connecting the ends of diverging light tracks, the connector being characterized by its ability to be deformed or bent in any of a series of directions normal to the axis thereof and to maintain itself in said bent or deformed condition.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a light track device of the type which mechanically and electrically supports fixtures such as spotlights or the like at any selected position along the length thereof, the device being characterized by an improved attachment module facilitating the formation of electrical connections between the conduits in the light track and the mains conduits. The module incorporates clamps or connector fixtures within which the mains conduits may be placed, secure mechanical and electrical interlock between the mains conduits and the fixtures being effected by the exertion of a lateral force against the mains conduits.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved recessed lighting fixture for flush mounting in a hung ceiling structure or the like. The fixture is characterized by its ability to be securely anchored in position, yet be readily removed from a position below the ceiling for the changing of bulbs, replacement of electrical connections, etc. The apparatus includes a frame permanently mounted above the ceiling, installation of the reflector and attached light source components being effected by simple vertical movement of the reflector assembly. Removal of the reflector assembly from the frame is accomplished by a relative rotation of the reflector and frame.
