  • Patent number: 4922393
    Abstract: A recessed lamp reflector has an integrally formed trim ring and fluorescent tube receptacles on opposite sides of an upper portion of the reflector. Fluorescent tubes extend across and downward, in the reflector, crossing at a central point within an upper portion of the reflector. Ballasts are mounted on an upper surface of the reflector between lamp receptacles. A cover covers the ballast and receptacles and interconnections and rests on top of the reflector.

  • Patent number: 4698930
    Abstract: Three embodiments for a holder for film, papers, canvas, sheets and the like, are disclosed. Each of the embodiments presented utilizes gravity in some fashion for the holding function. The invention generally comprises a recessed horizontal groove located upon a vertical planar surface which is covered by the holding assembly. The holding assembly comprises a vertical planar cover, the bottom edge of which participates in the holding. An object to be held is slipped between the bottom edge and the vertical planar surface and extended into the groove. Whereupon gravity means holds the object in a hanging fashion.

  • Patent number: 4641228
    Abstract: One end of an elongated flexible strap is connected to a screw base. The strap extends downward through a central opening in a cover and in a reflector. After the screw base is threaded into a socket, a gripper is pushed upward along the flexible strap, drawing the reflector up and a trim ring tight against the ceiling which surrounds the recessed fixture.

  • Patent number: 4595969
    Abstract: One end of an elongated flexible strap is connected to a screw base. The strap extends downward through a central opening in a cover and in a reflector. After the screw base is threaded into a socket, a friction ring is pushed upward along the flexible strap, drawing the reflector up and a trim ring tight against the ceiling which surrounds the recessed fixture. The friction ring holds the lamp and reflector upward on the strap, without stretching the strap and without pulling downward on the screw base with a force substantially greater than a weight of the reflector and trim ring. While the friction ring holds the lamp on the strap, a gripper is moved into position beneath the friction ring to permanently support the friction ring. The strap is then clipped below the gripper.
