Attorney, Agent or Firm: Hobby, III; William M.

A lighting fixture hanging panel and bracket has a flat rigid panel having a large and small aperture therein, shaped to fix a suspended ceiling grid. The panel may be of heavy plywood for supporting a hanging light fixture. An elongated light fixture suspending bracket has a circular portion shaped to fit over an aperture in the panel with the circular portion having a plurality of threaded openings therein positioned to receive threaded fasteners from a lighting fixture being attached to the lighting fixture bracket. The lighting fixture suspending bracket circular portion also has an elongated opening therein, and a bracket electrical receptacle supporting tab fixedly holding an electrical receptacle adjacent to the lighting fixture suspending bracket elongated opening. A switch is attached to the lighting fixture suspending bracket and a pull cord extends therefrom through to the small aperture in the panel. The switch is connected to the receptacle so that a light fixture may be rapidly attached and removed in lighting fixture showrooms. The circular portion in the bracket may be sunken to align the bracket by placing the circular portion in the panel aperture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A lighting fixture hanging system has a flat panel, such as a plywood panel, having a large aperture and a small aperture therein.
The panel is shaped to fit in a suspended ceiling grid.
An elongated light fixture suspending bracket is attached to the plywood panel and has a circular portion shaped to fit over and to align with the larger aperture in the plywood panel.
The bracket's circular portion has a plurality of threaded openings therein positioning to receive threaded fasteners from a lighting fixture bracket or from a fixture strap with the circular portion also having an elongated opening therein.
An electrical receptacle support is fixed to the bracket and fixedly holds an electrical receptacle adjacent the lighting fixture suspending bracket elongated opening.
A switch is attached to the bracket and has a pull-cord extending therefrom through the small aperture in the plywood panel.
A switch is electrically connected to the receptacle to switch the receptacle power on and off with the pull-cord.
The bracket is bolted to the ceiling panel and allows a lighting fixture to be plugged into the receptacle and quickly attached through the hanging lamp canopy with threaded fasteners directly to the bracket.
