Abstract:
A twist-and-lock mounting bracket may secure a lighting fixture to a mounting surface. The twist-and-lock mounting bracket may define an aperture having features corresponding to the shape of a twist-and-lock element disposed on a housing of a lighting fixture. Accordingly, the twist-and-lock element may be configured to extend through the aperture while the corresponding features of the twist-and-lock element and the aperture are aligned. The housing may then be rotated such that the tabs do not align with the corresponding features of the aperture, and the twist-and-lock element is thereby prevented from sliding through the aperture. The mounting bracket may be secured to a junction box positioned within a mounting surface, or it may be secured to a biasing bracket having one or more second resilient members configured to engage the interior of a recessed can light, such that the lighting fixture may be secured to the recessed can light.

Claim (Index 16):
A mounting assembly kit comprising:\n (A) a mounting bracket comprising:\n a circular twist and lock receiver element comprising: \n (i) a planar portion having a first outer periphery and a central wiring conduit opening both lying in a first plane; and \n (ii) an angled portion integral to the planar portion and extending outwardly from the first outer periphery to a second outer periphery, the second outer periphery being larger than and in a different plane than that of the first outer periphery; \n at least two twist and lock tab receivers that define at least two notches extending in the first plane from the first outer periphery to an intersection of the planar portion and the angled portion; and \n at least two standoffs extending, in part, in the second plane and outwardly from the second outer periphery; and \n (B) a biasing bracket comprising:\n a central bracket portion having a central opening and five legs extending therefrom, a portion of two of the five legs being configured to engage the at least two S-shaped standoffs of the mounting bracket; \n two width adjusting members selectively removably connected to a portion of the two legs of the central bracket portion, the width adjusting members being selectively slidable between at least two configurations having at least two different diameters; \n two first resilient members each attached to an end of a respective one of the two width adjusting members, biased to an extended position, and configured to engage an interior surface of a can light having one of a first or a second diameter; \n at least two second resilient members each selectively removably attached to two of the remaining three of the five legs and configured to engage an interior surface of a can light having a third diameter less than the first and second diameters.
