Claim 0:
1. A light fixture assembly for supporting a light fixture in a ceiling structure, comprising a light fixture mounting structure having a pair of opposed boundary regions extending between opposed end regions and configured to fit within a designated light fixture receiving region in the ceiling structure, and a plurality of flat spring elements configured to be spaced outwardly from at least one of the boundary regions, each flat spring element having parallel opposed surface regions and a mounting region configured to be anchored to the mounting structure, wherein the at least one boundary region includes a continuous recess extending continuously from one end region and along the boundary region to the other end region, the continuous recess bordered by a pair of spaced opposed wall structures configured to receive an anchor fastener and hold the anchor fastener therebetween, wherein the anchor fastener is associated with the mounting region of a corresponding flat spring element for anchoring the flat spring element in a position at any location along the continuous recess of the boundary region, a free end region adjacent the parallel opposed surface regions to extend from the mounting region and to be laterally outwardly biased in a first position away from the corresponding boundary region, each of the flat spring elements further configured to be movable from the first position toward the corresponding boundary region in a second position as the flat spring elements make contact with and slide against an upright surface of the designated light fixture receiving region until the flat spring elements pass above a support surface region on the ceiling structure and return to the first position to form a path of contact with the support surface region to anchor the mounting structure in the receiving region, each of the flat spring elements configured to be movable from the first position toward the corresponding boundary region in the second position to release the path of contact, and to release the mounting structure from the receiving region.
