A head rest assembly for a chair includes a head rest that can be adjusted in as many as three manners, such as rotational, horizontal, and/or vertical adjustment, with respect to a chair in a generally upright orientation, to achieve a desired position. The user can adjust the position of the head rest by grasping the head rest and applying force(s) in the desired directions(s), and the head rest remains in the desired position by friction, without needing to actuate any levers, knobs, and the like. Further, the head rest can have an outer surface with variable radii of curvature, and the assembly can be removably mounted to a chair.

An improved recessed fixture frame and method for installing the recessed fixture frame in new, existing or rough-in construction is disclosed. The improved recessed fixture frame includes a frame band for supporting and surrounding a fixture housing and at least one mounting assembly connected to the frame band in such a manner that the frame band is capable of being adjusted between the ends of the mounting bars. The mounting assembly includes at least one hinged mounting stub operatively hingeably connected to at least one end of the mounting assembly. Each hinged mounting stub includes a fastening means for affixing the recessed fixture frame to a structural member in a first position. In the first position, the recessed fixture frame extends downwardly from the structural member. After the fixture frame has been wired-in, the fixture frame is rotated about ninety degrees (90.degree.) about the hinged mounting stubs to a second position where the non-hinged mounting stub at the other end of the mounting assemblies are operatively connected to a second structural member.

A method, system and apparatus for supporting a light fixture in an aperture formed in a planar member is disclosed. An aperture is first cut in the planar member at the point where the lighting fixture is to be installed and a light fixture support structure having at least two mounting straps positioned about the perimeter of the light fixture support structure for retaining the light fixture support structure in position in the aperture formed in the planar member is positioned in the aperture by an installer. The light fixture support structure mounting straps are then positioned contiguous with the inner surface of the planar member and are manipulated such that the light fixture support structure is maintained in position in the aperture. The light fixture support structure includes a perimeter member having a wall portion and a lip portion and having at least two slots formed at the junction of the wall and the lip and at least two mounting straps positioned in the at least two slots for retaining the light fixture support structure in position in the aperture formed in the planar member. The mounting strap including a hook member at one end and a v shaped two leg member at the other end with each of the legs having a flange member for engaging the surface of the planar member. Methods of installing remodeler light fixtures in a planar member are also disclosed.
