Hanger for a modular lighting system having a main body with two channels to accommodate two segments of a power bar

1. A hanger, which is part of a modular lighting system that includes a power bar and pendants where the power bar is comprised of two segments that are configured to deliver power to the pendants, said hanger comprising:

a main body including a bottom wall, a first sidewall extending from the bottom wall in a first direction, a second sidewall that is spaced from the first sidewall, extending from the bottom wall in the first direction and a projection extending from the bottom wall in the first direction, between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the projection together defining two channels, each of said channels configured to receive one of the segments of the power bar;

clips extending from said bottom wall into each of said channels that are adaptable to form an interference fit with the segments of the power bar; and

a conductive element attached to and extending away from said main body.

2. The hanger of claim 1 , wherein said conductive element is connected to at least one of said clips.

3. The hanger of claim 1 , wherein said main body has a generally W-shaped cross-section.

4. The hanger of claim 1 , wherein said conductive element is a flexible cord.

5. The hanger of claim 1 , wherein said conductive element is two parallel rods with each of the rods being connected to one of the respective clips.

6. The hanger of claim 1 , further comprising a second main body configured to engage a second power bar, wherein said conductive element includes a first end connected to said main body and a second end that is attached to said a second main body.

7. A hanger, which is part of a modular lighting system that includes a power bar that is comprised of longitudinal segments, including a first segment and a second segment, and a pendant, which is supported by the power bar and to which the power bar delivers power, the hanger comprising:

a main body and a cover, said main body having a bottom wall, a projection extending from the bottom wall, a first channel and a second channel that is separated from the first channel by the projection, each of said first channel and said second channel being configured to receive the first segment and the second segment of the power bar, a first clip disposed in said first channel and a second clip disposed in said second channel, said first clip and said second being adaptable to be electrically connected to said first segment and said second segment, and said cover configured to form an interference fit with the main body and extend over said first channel and said second channel and secure the first segment and said second segment of the power bar within said first channel and said second channel.

8. The hanger of claim 7 , further comprising a conductive member extending from said main body, and said first clip and said second clip being electrically connected to said conductive member.

9. The hanger of claim 7 , wherein the first clip and the second clip are configured to form an interference fit with the longitudinal segments of the power bar.

10. The hanger of claim 8 , wherein said conductive member is a cord.

11. The hanger of claim 8 , wherein said conductive member are rods.

12. The hanger of claim 7 , wherein the main body includes a first sidewall extending from the bottom wall in a first direction, a second sidewall that is spaced from the first sidewall, extending from the bottom wall in the first direction with the projection extending from the bottom wall in the first direction, between the first projection and the second projection.

13. The hanger of claim 12 , wherein the first sidewall includes a first groove extending inwardly from an outer surface thereof the second sidewall includes a second groove extending inwardly from an outer surface thereof.

14. The hanger of claim 7 , wherein the cover includes a center portion, a first leg extending from a first side of the center portion and a second leg extending from a second side of the center portion, the first leg including a first rib extending from a distal end thereof toward the second leg and the second leg including a second rib extending from a distal end thereof toward the first leg.

15. The hanger of claim 7 , wherein said main body includes a first sidewall extending from a first side of the bottom wall and a second sidewall extending from a second side of the bottom wall.

16. The hanger of claim 15 , wherein the bottom wall includes a first groove extending into the first side of thereof, a second groove that is spaced from the first groove by the first sidewall extending into the first side of thereof, a third groove extending into the second side of thereof and a fourth groove extending into the second side of thereof.

17. The hanger of claim 7 , wherein the cover includes a center portion, a first leg extending from a first side of the center portion, a second leg, spaced from the first leg extending from the first side of the center portion, a third leg extending from a second side of the center portion and a fourth leg, spaced from the third leg extending from the second side of the center portion.

18. The hanger of claim 17 , wherein the first leg includes a first rib extending from a distal end thereof toward one of the third leg and the fourth leg, the second leg includes a second rib extending from a distal end thereof toward one of the third leg and the fourth leg, the third leg includes a third rib extending from a distal end thereof toward one of the first leg and the second leg and the fourth leg includes a fourth rib extending from a distal end thereof toward one of the first leg and the second leg.
