Abstract
A recessed light fixture assembly includes a plaster frame having a rectangular floor. A bar hanger bracket is supportably connected to each of two opposed edges of the floor. Each bar hanger bracket includes a support ledge supportably connected to its respective edge of the floor, and an upright sidewall formed integral with each support ledge. A bar hanger retaining finger is formed integral with each side of the sidewall. A pair of opposed retaining tabs is formed integral with each side of each sidewall and is spaced from the retaining finger on the respective side. A bar hanger including an elongated arm is positioned between each pair of retaining tabs and is thereby slideably connected to each bar hanger bracket and captured by the retaining finger. Each bar hanger has an elongated arm which arm has two assembly notches in one edge. The assembly notches of each elongated arm may be selectively aligned with respective retaining fingers to allow each bar hanger to be selectively connected or disconnected from its respective sidewall when the notches are aligned with their respective retaining fingers.
