Abstract
A combination female-oriented receiver with a mounting side and a receiving side configured to accept a male-oriented mount, the mounting side of the receiver electrically connected to a junction box, or a mounting plate, the receiving side having plates electrically connectable to either. The receiver has access points and a race to receive the male mount and a pin slot, the electrical plates positioned such that when corresponding conducting surfaces on the male mount are rotated in the race to a proper position, the the mount and receiver are electrically connected. The race further provides a weight-bearing surface to support the mount and the weight of an electrical fixture removably affixed thereto, further held in place by a spring-biased pin inserted at a non-normal angle into the receiver's pin slot.
