  • Pull-on bifurcated clip for improved reflector trim retention
    Patent number: 6361193
    Abstract: An improved pull-on clip intended to position and maintain in place a reflector trim within a downlighting housing or “can” and particularly to bias the trim against an opening in a ceiling to retain a finishing flange of the trim in place about the opening. The present clip can be manually assembled to the trim by means of a snap-fastening structure provided on an attachment end of the clip, the use of tools being unnecessary for assembly of the clip to the trim. The clip facilitates lamp positioning within the can and thereby within the fixture such that optimum lamp performance is obtained.
