Abstract
An adaptor for installing a camera or lighting fixture includes a housing. The housing includes a wall that define a slot that extends vertically between top and bottom ends of the slot. A spring steel strip is adapted to be received in the slot. The spring steel strip includes first and second sections separated by a sharp bend. A distal end of the first section is adapted to be brought into a first position in the slot. A distal end of the second section has a catch clip thereon adapted to be brought into a second position in the slot which is higher than the first position. The catch clip includes at least two resilient fingers adapted to permit the catch clip to be fitted into the slot when the two resilient fingers are laterally compressed towards each other, and then keep the distal end of the second section connected to the housing once the fingers are released.
