Quick connect device for electrical fixture

摘要

A ceiling fan or light fixture is provided with a quick connect device comprises an upper support member attached to a ceiling and defining at least one upwardly-facing load-bearing surface, and a lower support member attached to and supporting the fixture and defining at least one downwardly-facing load-bearing surface resting on an upwardly-facing load-bearing surface of the upper support member. Electrical-contacts project from one of the load-bearing surfaces, and are received in recesses in another of the load-bearing surfaces, within which are corresponding contacts. The projecting contacts engaging in the recesses prevent the load-bearing surfaces from being separated horizontally unless they are first lifted vertically out of engagement.
