The fastening device which employs an end element connected to a body to be supported to a structural member. The element has first and second sides and edges, and includes a portion for penetrating the structural member. The element is positioned in relation to the structural member by guides on either side of the element.

Fastening device for fixing a body to a structural member

A recessed lighting unit for supporting an energizing lamp adapted to fit into an electrical socket using a housing. The electrical socket and lamp are mounted in the housing. The housing includes an opening for the passage of light from the lamp to the area to be illuminated. A source of power runs to the socket through a wireway. A heat protection mechanism interrupts the flow of electrical power to the lamp and socket upon the generation of excess heat in the vicinity of the housing. The heat protection mechanism is mounted immediately adjacent the housing in the wireway and forms a structural unit with the housing and a junction box.

Recessed lighting housing

A hangar device for holding a recessed lighting fixture to a pair of beams utilizing a pair of elongated members movable in relation to one another. Each of the elongated members includes a shaft and an end piece angularly disposed in relation to the shaft. The end piece includes a lip fixed at an angle to the same and an end portion for fastening the pair of elongated members to each of the beams.

Recessed lighting unit

A retainer for supporting a lamp socket to a housing which includes a base having an opening to permit the passage of light from the lamp. Also included is a bracket having an opening for circumscribing a leg protruding from the base. A fastener holds the leg protruding from the base within the opening in the bracket. A support holds the leg and fastened bracket to the housing.

Retainer for a lamp

A wireway for supporting at least one wire and a temperature sensitive device designed to interrupt the flow of electrical energy through the wire in conjunction with a selected temperature within a compartment connected to the wireway. The wireway includes a raceway having an enclosed channel with a pair of open ends. The temperature sensitive device is confined within a wireway which includes means for conducting heat from the interior of the compartment to the channel of the raceway. The wireway is also supported by the compartment to form a structural unit.
