  • Mounting plate for recessed lighting
    Patent number: 11885480
    Abstract: A mounting plate mounting plate for a recessed light fixture comprising a body which is flat and which extends in a plane, the body being pierced with an opening which is substantially circular; a portion of material forming a central target at a center of the opening; and at least one branch which bridges the central target to the body. The central target is to be illuminated by a laser light for proper placement (alignment). The at least one branch can be bent upwardly and away from the center of the opening to retain an electrical wire of a transformer on the mounting plate, immediately aside a dedicated opening for easy retrieval, making the installation faster and avoiding spilling mineral wool from the roof by manual searching of such an electrical wire.
