referring to fig1 and 2 of the drawings , the present invention is adopted for installation in a conventional outer housing 10 which comprises a lower cylindrical portion 12 , the upper end 14 of which is capped by an upper housing portion 16 . the cylindrical portion 12 is open at its lower end which terminates at an angle corresponding to the slope of the ceiling panel 20 . the lower end 18 of the outer housing 10 may be provided with a mounting bracket 22 which holds the outer housing 10 about the edges 21 of the ceiling panels 20 . wiring 24 is brought into the upper cavity 26 defined by the upper housing portion 16 . the embodiment of fig1 and 2 is designed for use with an incandescent lamp 28 which has a threaded base 30 to be screwed into a socket 32 into which the wires 24 carrying the electric current are connected . in this embodiment of fig1 and 2 , an inner housing or baffle 34 is provided for disposition within the outer housing 10 . the inner housing 34 is of a lesser altitude dimension than the outer housing 10 and is of a lesser cross sectional diameter so that it may be coaxially disposed within the outer housing portion 10 . the inner housing or baffle 34 is shaped congruently with the outer housing portion 10 and is resiliently secured within the inner walls 12 &# 39 ; of the outer housing portion 12 by a plurality of spring - like elements 36 . the lower edge 38 of the inner housing or baffle 34 has attached to it by angles 34a and screws 34b and 34c of the upper side of a trim ring 40 so that when the installation is complete , the lower edges of the inner housing or baffle 34 are covered by the trim ring 40 and may not be seen below the ceiling . in the embodiment of the invention illustrated in fig1 and 2 , the socket 32 is mounted on a transverse member , the ends 44 of which are pivotally mounted across the upper edge 46 of the inner housing or baffle 34 . because of this pivotal mounting , it may be seen as shown in phantom in fig2 that the socket 32 and the lamp 28 may be shifted from the solid position to the phantom position by simply reaching in through the opening 48 and moving the lamp 28 in relation to the axis ( not shown of the inner housing or baffle 34 ). it is also a feature of the present invention that the combination may be easily installed simply by seating the available incandescent lamp socket 32 in the circular portion 50 of the member 42 , and securing it in position by a strap 52 . the inner housing or baffle will be held in position by the spring - like resilient elements 36 after the inner housing or baffle 34 has been pushed up into the outer housing 12 through the opening 48 until the trim ring 40 abuts the panel or panels 20 defining the ceiling opening 48 . with this installation , it is not only a simple matter to replace a burned out lamp 28 by simply reaching in the opening 48 and unscrewing the bulb and replacing it , but as mentioned above , the direction of the lamp may be varied to the degree shown in phantom in fig2 . the embodiment of fig3 and 4 differs from that illustrated and described in connection with fig1 and 2 in the manner in which lamp 28 &# 39 ; is pivotally mounted within the inner housing or baffle 34 . the lamp 28 &# 39 ; of the fig3 and 4 embodiment has a different type of wiring attachment 56 , 58 . because this does not lend itself readily to mounting in the manner shown in the fig1 and 2 attachment , the pivotal attachment is accomplished by providing a ring 60 which may be pivotally mounted within the inner housing or baffle 34 by means of elements 62 projecting radially inwardly from the wall of the inner housing 34 within which ring 60 the lamp 28 &# 39 ; may be held . with this mounting , the direction of the lamp 28 &# 39 ; may be swung between the solid position shown in fig4 and the phantom position . in the embodiment of fig5 the pivoting elements 62 &# 39 ; are mounted off - center of the particular type of lamp housing 64 shown in this embodiment . in the fig5 embodiment , different annular members 66 and 68 are utilized to support the lamp housing 64 . in the embodiment of fig6 and 8 the lamp base 70 is left unsupported in the manner shown in the fig1 and 2 embodiments , the pivoting support being accomplished by providing an inner mounting ring 72 which is pivotally mounted within an outer mounting ring 74 by means of elements 76 which project from the outer ring 74 radially inwardly through the inner ring 72 . it may thus be seen that the concept of the present invention is adapted for numerous applications to provide not only easy installation or retrofitting of a lamp fixture for a sloped ceiling , but also one where the direction of a lamp &# 39 ; s illumination may be varied to satisfy to a degree not heretofore achieved with the lighting requirements in a room having a sloped ceiling .
