Abstract:
1. A recessed fixture for mounting into an opening in a wall structure defining front and rear wall surfaces, the fixture comprising: a pot provided with a peripheral wall, an end wall at one longitudinal end of the peripheral wall, and a peripheral flange at the other end thereof for abutment with the front wall surface of the wall structure, the peripheral wall including a generally transversal slot and a generally longitudinal slot extending between the end wall and the peripheral flange and defining a longitudinal axis intersecting the transversal slot; a clip having a first longitudinal end defining a fastener-receiving portion, a second longitudinal end defining a surface-abutting portion and an intermediate portion provided between the first and second longitudinal ends; the intermediate portion including a clip-mounting portion protruding outside of the pot through the longitudinal slot; a fastener having a first end defining a fixture mounting portion so mounted to an aperture of the end wall of the pot as to freely rotate therein, a second end defining a tool receiving portion and an intermediate threaded portion engaged in the fastener-receiving portion of the clip; wherein, a) the fastener, the first longitudinal end and the intermediate portion of the clip are substantially provided inside the pot; b) rotation of the fastener is converted into longitudinal translation of the clip between a retracted position where the surface-abutting portion is contained inside the pot and an extended position where the surface-abutting portion extends from the pot through the generally transversal slot of the peripheral wall.
