Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0840060A2] A snap fixing device which allows easy and rapid mounting and removal of a lighting apparatus to be encased with a false ceiling or a similar panel. The device comprises an elongated laminar element (7) made of a resilient material and substantially bent to a V-shape, with one end pivotally connected with the apparatus body (1) and the other end bent, said element being slidingly engaged in a slot (10) of the body (1). A projecting part (11) is provided near the bent end (9a), whereas an abutment block (12) is placed at the bending point of the laminar element (7). To fasten the apparatus when it is mounted, element (7) must slide into slot 10 until the projecting part (11) is tripped and abuts on body (1) and the laminar element bows, thus transmitting the fastening force to panel (3) through the abutment block (12). <IMAGE>
