Abstract:
A jack type adaptor for electrically connecting an electric light fixture to an electric box comprises a jack type connecting member for mechanical connection to an electric box. The jack type connecting member comprises a first U-shaped bracket device and a pair of jack type connecting devices affixed to the bracket device in spaced parallel relation and electrically connected to electrically conductive leads in the electric box. A plug type connecting member for mechanical connection to a light fixture comprises a second U-shaped device and a pair of plug type connecting devices affixed to the second device in spaced parallel relation and electrically connected to the electrically conductive leads of the light fixture. The plug type connecting member is of the same configuration as the jack type connecting member but of larger dimensions to permit the juxtaposition of the plug type connecting member on the jack type connecting member with the plug type connecting devices in electrical contact with the corresponding jack type connecting devices thereby electrically connecting the light fixture to the leads in the box.
