Image Number 3 for United States Patent #5317493.
An assembly is disclosed for mounting on an inclined planar surface, a light fixture suspended by at least one fixture suspension cable and provided with at least one power cord. In general, the mounting assembly comprises a mounting base, and first and second suspension means. The mounting base is for attachment to a planar structure disposed relative to a reference plane, and includes at least one power cord suspension aperture. The first suspension means is operably associated with the mounting base and is adapted for attachment to one end of the fixture cable. The second suspension means is mounted through the power cord suspension aperture and is adapted for attachment to a portion of the power cord. The first suspension means and the second suspension means each permit pivotal movement of the fixture suspension cable and the power cord, respectively, that is, relative to the mounting base, and the first suspension means and the second suspension means are operable independent of each other. In the illustrated embodiment, three first suspension means are operably associated with the mounting base, and each comprises fixture cable length adjustment means which permits simple adjustment in length of the fixture suspension cable with respect to the reference plane. Also the second suspension means comprises power cord length adjustment means which permits simple adjustment in length of the power cord with respect to the reference plane.
