ABSTRACT:
An attachment device for attaching both compressible spring-type ceiling fixtures and noncompressible ceiling fixtures on an inverted T-shaped ceiling bracket. Opposed gripping surfaces on the outer ends of first and second pivotally attached arms are movable between first and second positions. The gripping surfaces include U-shaped recesses that can hold a noncompressible ceiling fixture for installing it on the ceiling bracket with the use of an elongated rod from a position on the floor. A recess is formed on the outer side of the bottom portion of each of the U-shaped gripping surfaces. An adapter having a base therein with projections on the inside of the adapter base can be mounted on the gripping surfaces with the projections engaging the recesses to retain the adapter on the outer end of the gripping tool. A noncompressible mounting ceiling fixture can be placed therein. Compressible spring-type ceiling fixtures can be placed in the recesses in the opposing gripping surfaces such that when the handles are moved toward each other, the spring fixture is compressed and its prongs opened. It can then be extended to the ceiling with the elongated rod and the pressure on the handles released so that the spring is decompressed to grip a ceiling bracket.
