IMPROVEMENTS IN ELECTRICAL LIGHTING FIXTURES

摘要

A bracket formed of a noncombustible material such as metal, serves as a restraint for a ballast transformer mounted in a combustible, electrical lighting fixture in the event the fixture is consumed by fire. The bracket has one end connected to the ballast and an opposite end encircling the free end of a conventional fixture-mounting bushing which is fixedly attached to a metal electrical outlet box. The bracket automatically attaches to the bushing once the fixture is mounted on the bushing and a cap nut is applied thereto.
