Barrier wall mounting plate for electrical fixture enclosure

An electrical lighting fixture comprising:

• a lamp socket in which a light bulb is inserted:
• a cover for the lamp socket including a canopy formed for electrical wiring to the lamp socket to be routed through the canopy with one end of each of a plurality of electrical wires to be electrically connected to the socket and the other, free end thereof extending through the canopy, the fixture being attached to an outlet box through which electrical wires for connecting the fixture to a power source are routed;
• and,
• a barrier wall mounting plate assembly including a plate and a swivel bar rotatably mounted to the plate, the plate fitting in an opening defined by the canopy, the plate having an opening therein through which the free ends of the wires extend, the free ends of the wires being spliced together with ends of the electrical wires routed through the outlet box;
• the barrier wall mounting plate assembly being attached to the outlet box by one of the plate and the swivel bar, the canopy being attached to the other of the plate and the swivel bar;
• attachment of the outlet box to the barrier wall mounting plate assembly allowing the fixture to be positioned in a preferred orientation regardless of the orientation of the outlet box, and with all of the electrical wires being completely enclosed by the outlet box and mounting plate.

• a cover for the lamp socket including a canopy formed for electrical wiring to the lamp socket to be routed through the canopy with one end of each of a plurality of electrical wires to be electrically connected to the socket and the other, free end thereof extending through the canopy, the fixture being attached to an outlet box through which electrical wires for connecting the fixture to a power source are routed;
• and,
• a barrier wall mounting plate fitting in an opening defined by the canopy, the plate having an opening therein through which the free ends of the wires extend, the free ends of the wires being spliced together with ends of the electrical wires routed through the outlet box, the mounting plate including a plurality of arcuate segments formed in the mounting plate and spaced uniformly thereabout, fasteners for attaching the mounting plate and the outlet box together being inserted through opposing segments with the segments being smaller in width than the head of a screw so the fasteners, when tightened, draw the outlet box and mounting plate together, the fixture being oriented in a desired position before the fasteners are tightened, attachment of the outlet box to the mounting plate allowing the fixture to be positioned in a preferred orientation regardless of the orientation of the outlet box, and with all of the electrical wires being completely enclosed by the outlet box and mounting plate.

An electrical lighting fixture comprising:

• a barrier wall mounting plate mountable to an outlet box;
• a socket assembly connected to the barrier wall mounting plate;
• the socket assembly including a mounting arm connected at one end to the mounting plate and having a lamp receiving socket at another end of said arm;
• and
• a cover connected to the barrier wall mounting plate independently of the socket assembly;
• the cover including a canopy which at least partially surrounds the socket when the lighting fixture is assembled;
• a hollow throat through which said mounting arm passes, and an opening at a rear of said throat, said barrier wall mounting plate being received in said opening.
