ABSTRACT:
A hinge clamp for attaching a wire grid to an edge portion of a sheet metal light fixture comprising a base plate, a short leg plate and a long leg plate. The leg plates extend orthogonally from opposite side edges of the base plate and are disposed in parallel spaced relation to each other. Each of the base plates has an aperture therein adapted to receive a screw to secure the edge portion of the light fixture to the hinge clamp. The long leg plate of the hinge clamp has a planar inner portion and a curved outer portion. The planar inner portion comprises a near section and a middle finger extending outwardly from the near section. The outer curved portion comprises two identically configured outer fingers located on opposite sides of the middle finger. Each outer finger has an arcuate detent formed therein which is adapted to receive an edge wire of a wire grid in a snap-fit connection. An edge wire of the wire grid is entrapped on one side by the detent and on the other side by the middle finger.
