Title

(EN) Quick connected device with easy installation features including a plug and spring

Abstract

(EN)

An apparatus for easily installing an overhead electrical device is disclosed. Installation is made easier by forming guide channels in the bell of an electrical fixture and aligning those channels with guides on a plate. When the guide and channels are properly aligned, an electrical connection is made between a plug and receptacle. The plug and receptacle are mounted in the bell and to the junction box. Once the electrical connection is made, the bell is rotated to secure the bell to the guides mounted on the plate.
