A mounting plate assembly has a mounting plate for mounting a light fixture in holes of different diameters. A guide rail assembly is secured to a rear face of the mounting plate on opposed sides of an aperture. Each guide rail assembly has a displaceable spring clamp structure mounted on a displaceable base coupled for sliding displacement along the guide rail assembly. Spring biasing elements are provided between the displaceable base and the guide rail assembly to urge a bottom face of the displaceable base against a flat top surface of a mounting base to which the guide rails are secured. A retention formation is provided in the bottom surface of the displaceable base for retention coupling with a selected one of space-apart engageable retainers immovably secured to the flat top surface of the mounting base and aligned with the retention formation to arrest the displaceable base at a desired location to position the spring clamp structures at a desired location with respect to the size of a hole formed in the sheet material and to which a light fixture is to be secured.
An adjustable spring clamp comprising a mounting base, a pair of spaced-apart substantially parallel guide rails mounted on said mounting base, a displaceable spring clamp bracket retained between said pair of parallel guide rails for displacement therealong, said displaceable spring clamp bracket being secured to a displaceable base and held displaceably captive between said guide rails, said displaceable spring clamp bracket having a spring biased clamp arm secured to a torsion spring supported elevated from said mounting base by a vertical bridge support secured to said displaceable base, said spring biased clamp arm being biased in a downward direction towards an end of said mounting base by said torsion spring, spring elements between said displaceable base and said pair of parallel guide rails to urge a bottom surface of said displaceable base against a flat top surface of said mounting base, a retention formation provided in said bottom surface of said displaceable base for retention coupling with a selected one of spaced-apart retention projections immovably secured to said flat top surface of said mounting base to arrest said displaceable base at a selected location between said pair of spaced-apart guide rails to position said spring biased clamp arm at a desired location.
