AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system that allows for quick installation of electronic devices (such as lights) without damaging their wires. It includes a guide that helps the installer insert the device correctly into the brackets attached to the ceiling. There are also other components like a spacer and a cover to keep the equipment away from the ceiling while being hidden during installation. Additionally, there may have a latch mechanism to help prevent accidental movement of the light's cables. Overall, these technical improvements improve the efficiency and effectiveness of installing electronic devices.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a technical problem with current methods used in suspending lights on buildings. These methods require holes through brackets and are difficult to install without looking at them. There is also a challenge when attaching heavy objects such as lamps to this method due to the lack of visibility during the process.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved light assembly and alignment device. One embodiment of the assembly can have a spacer, a lid, a rod, a bracket, a guide, electronics, a cover and a nut. The spacer has a perimeter sidewall that is vented. A guide having a keeper and a body can be passed through a hole in the bracket. The rod can receive the body of the guide wherein the rod is aligned with the hole in the bracket. A nut at an end of the rod supports the cover by preventing it from sliding off from the end of the rod. The nut also is used to turn the rod so that it advances through the bracket hole to raise the assembly to the ceiling. Another embodiment has a square nut that is seated in a bracket when the rod is passed through a bracket slot.
