Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006060772A2] A device for connecting and supporting fixtures, such as electrical fixtures, includes a male plug, a mating female socket and a releasable spindle assembly for both holding the plug in the socket and mechanically mounting the fixture on a supporting surface or an electrical box. The plug is provided with concentric, ring shaped male connectors that are matingly received within similarly shaped female recesses in the socket to create electrical connections and also allow the fixture to be rotated to any of a plurality or mounting orientations. The releasable spindle assembly is controlled by the actuation of a push rod operated by a tool or user's finger.
