Abstract: A plaster frame is provided for recessed lighting luminaires, wherein the main hole size is not fixed, but adjustable, and in more than one shape opening, e.g. round, square, rectangular, and other opening shapes as required. The plaster frame has an adjustable hole, the concept here disclosed comprises a series of moving leaves and may also contain an actuating ring, the rotation of which cause the leaves to move inward or outward, changing the hole, or aperture. Although fasteners may be used to retain the various moving elements, these adjustable openings can also be utilized without the use of any fasteners.

Abstract: A bar hanger member is provided. The bar hanger member is for assembling with another like-member by superposition thereon to form a bar hanger for supporting recessed luminaires. The bar hanger member includes: an elongated body having a front face and a rear face; a channel extending through the body along the lengthwise axis; and first and second protrusions extending from the body aligned with the channel. The first and second protrusions are sized and shaped for slidable engagement with the channel of the like-member. When the bar hanger is assembled with the like-member, the second protrusion of the bar hanger engages in the channel of the like-member and the first protrusion of the like-member engages in the channel of the bar hanger member.

Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture includes a trim member and a light projector accessory having one or more lenses, one or more gobos including an image to be projected, a suitable attachment for the accessory to be attached to the recessed light fixture, and a focusing mechanism for focusing the image projected from the gobo.

Abstract: A trim assembly is mounted by a resilient spring in a housing, which is recessed in a ceiling, to support a light fixture. The trim assembly includes a cylindrical collar insertable within the housing and a flange with a central opening supporting one end of the cylindrical collar surrounding the opening being flush with the ceiling, when the trim assembly is mounted within the housing. A gimbal, which is located within and spaced apart from the collar, supports the light fixture. The springs are attached to opposite sides of an outer surface of the collar, for engaging an inner surface of the housing, to hold the trim assembly in place. In addition, the gimbal is retained within the collar by fasteners which allow limited rotation of the gimbal.

Abstract: A locking assembly for lighting fixtures or portable lamps is provided to facilitate the fast assembly and alignment of longitudinally extending arms, such as hollow tubular arms, either on the flat surface, or on the vertical exterior surface of a base of the lighting fixture or portable lamp, without the use of additional machined or cast fittings. A bead is formed near the end of the arm, wherein the bead includes one or more indentations made of rectangular, square, round or other shapes, so that a projection or projections protrude from the opposite flat surface of the bead. The end of the tube beyond the bead is then threaded and if bent into an arm, the bending is done in the same plane as a line running through the center of the tube and one projection. One or more rounded holes slightly larger than the diameter of the tube are provided in the flat surface of the plates or bodies or onto the vertical sides of the bodies of the lighting fixture or portable lamp.
