    Abstract: A bracket for mounting an electrical box to a brace includes a body portion with a first end, a second end, and a channel disposed between the first end and the second end that extends along a channel axis. A first foot extends from the first end in a direction substantially perpendicular to the channel axis. A second foot extends from the second end in a direction substantially perpendicular to the channel axis. A first tab extends from the channel in a first tab direction substantially perpendicular to the channel axis. The first foot and the second foot can be received within the electrical box and support a weight of the electrical box without any additional fasteners. The first tab is bendable to a second tab direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first tab direction and to the channel axis.

    Abstract: A brace for mounting an electrical box between supports includes a central body with a pair of elongated sides each having a first end and a second end. The central body also includes a top surface connected between each first end. Rails are connected to each second end and extend substantially along the length of the pair of elongated sides. The brace also includes a first connecting end connected to a first end of the central body and a second connecting end connected to a second end of the central body. The central body, the first connecting end, and the second connecting end are integrally formed in a one-piece construction. Each rail is spaced apart from at least one of the first connecting end and the second connecting end to form a mounting space.

    Abstract: A mud ring assembly includes a base member, a raised member, a telescoping member and a plurality of drive members. The base member has a flange and an opening through the flange. The raised member extends from the base member and follows the opening in the flange to form a raised wall. The raised member has a plurality of mounting tabs extending from the raised wall toward the opening in the raised member. The telescoping member is positioned within the raised member opening and is movable relative to the raised member between a retracted position and an extended position. The telescoping member has a wall, an opening and a plurality of mounting tabs extending from the wall toward the opening in the telescoping member. The wall of the telescoping member includes a plurality of protective members. Each protective member is positioned in proximity to one of a plurality of mounting tab pairs. In this configuration, one of the plurality of drive members is operatively coupled to the mounting tabs of one of the mounting tab pairs, such that rotation of the drive members causes the telescoping member to move between the retracted position and the extended position.

    Abstract: A round mud ring assembly includes a base member, a raised member, a telescoping member and a plurality of drive members. The base member has a flange and a circular opening through the flange. The raised member extends from the base member and follows the circular opening in the flange to form a circular raised wall. The raised member has a plurality of mounting tabs extending from the raised wall toward a center of the circular opening. The telescoping member is positioned within the raised member and is movable within the raised member between a retracted position and an extended position. The telescoping member has a circular wall and a plurality of mounting tabs extending from the circular wall toward a center of the circular opening. The circular wall of the telescoping member includes a plurality of protective members. Each protective member is positioned in proximity to one of a mounting tab pairs. In this configuration, one of the plurality of drive members is operatively coupled to the mounting tabs of one of the mounting tab pairs, such that rotation of the drive members causes the telescoping member to move between the retracted position and the extended position.

    Abstract: A repair clip for a gang box with a damaged threaded opening is provided. The repair clip includes a top wall, a front wall, and a rear wall. The top wall has a replacement opening that is positionable over the damaged threaded opening. The front wall has a leg depends from the top wall at a front shoulder region. The front wall and/or the front shoulder region are elastically deformable so as to apply a clamping force on an inner wall of the gang box. The rear wall depends from the top wall at a rear shoulder region, the rear wall and/or the rear shoulder region being elastically deformable so as to apply a clamping force on an outer wall of the gang box. The replacement opening is elongated in a direction between the front and rear walls.

    Abstract: A ceiling fan mounting assembly that includes a ceiling fan box that is positioned at least partially through an opening in a ceiling. The ceiling fan box includes a riser portion that is positioned within the ceiling in use and includes a channel with a partially enclosed perimeter. The ceiling fan mounting assembly also includes a mounting bracket that has a base portion with an opening and a mounting finger that extends away from the base portion. The mounting bracket can connect to the ceiling fan box where the opening extends at least partially around the outer perimeter of the riser portion. The mounting finger is received within the channel and can translate within the channel as the mounting bracket moves relative to the ceiling fan box.
