ABSTRACT:
A fitting (70) for covering the fixation point of a cord (80) to a ceiling surface has a hollow body (71) which defines an outer curved plane and an inner cord passage cavity (72). To facilitate a fitting or fixation of the fitting (70) after the suspension and connection of an electrical appliance such as a swinging lamp, and to facilitate a subsequent dismantling of the fitting (70) for the purpose of cleaning and/or replacement, the hollow body (71) has two parts (82, 84) which are interconnected through a hinge (86) and thus rotatable with respect to each other between a first position, in which the body (71) is opened so that the cord (80) can be introduced freely into the inner cord passage cavity (72), and a second position, in which the body (71) is closed and encircles the cord (80), the cord being received in the inner cord passage cavity. The fitting (70) preferably has locks (90, 92, 94 and 96) for locking the two parts (82 and 84) in said second position, i.e. in the position in which they encircle the cord.
