    摘要: An electrical box assembly for adjustable-depth mounting of an electrical box relative to a support structure. The electrical box assembly can include a centerplate with a centerplate opening and an electrical box with an electrical box housing, a back plate removably attached to the electrical box housing, and an extendable sleeve configured to receive fasteners of electrical devices. The electrical box can be received within the centerplate opening, with the electrical box housing secured to the centerplate. The extendable sleeve can be selectively slidable within the electrical box housing.

    摘要: An electrical box assembly is disclosed including an electrical box having at least one sidewall, the sidewall including a channel formed therein to receive a threaded fastener. A mounting bracket is provided that is configured to be attached to a support member. The mounting bracket is operably engaged with the threaded fastener to facilitate an adjustment of the mounting bracket with respect to the electrical box, and consequently adjust the electrical box with respect to the support member.

    摘要: A bracket system for securing an electrical device and other components to a ceiling structure can include a mounting bracket removably securable to a ceiling member and a support bar that removably engages the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket can include a bracket body, a channel structure that defines a channel, a support arm to removably engage the ceiling member, and a locking arm that is moveable relative to the bracket body. The support bar can include a support section and an attachment arm extending integrally from a first end of the support section that can be slidably received within the channel in the insertion direction.

    摘要: An electrical junction assembly for implementation in a wall that is reconfigurable to accept various types of electrical connectors. Flanges and clips in the electrical junction assembly help self-mount it in a wall. The electrical junction assembly is created from modular receptacles, with each customizable for the type of electrical connection it will accommodate. Keystones are selectively implemented or removed from preconfigured sockets in the receptacles. The receptacles are modular as they may be customized, and then reconfigured as desired, for the number of receptacles and electrical connections they may accommodate.

    摘要: A Z-bracket is adapted for mounting an electrical box to the open face of a metal stud. The invention has two mounting platforms with self-tapping screw holes. The flat brackets of an electrical box are secured to these mounting platforms. The invention has a retaining tab with at least one retaining indentation for screwing the retaining tab to the open face of a metal stud. A connector connects the retaining tab to the mounting platforms. The front edge of each mounting platform has a groove, which accommodates the tongue on a tab of the metal stud. Multiple triangular braces connect the mounting platforms to the connector for structural support. The invention is sized to fit a standard metal stud, providing an improved method for attaching electrical boxes to the open face of a metal stud.

    摘要: An apparatus, such as an electrical device or a wall box, may have a mounting mechanism that may be configured to mount the apparatus to a wall in a manner that may facilitate secure fastening to the wall. The apparatus may comprise at least one mounting clamp that may have a fin and a drum that receives a mounting screw. The fin of the mounting clamp may be configured to be located within a pocket formed in the body. When a mounting screw is driven, the mounting clamp may rotate from the pocket into a position in which the drum of the mounting clamp may be received in a channel formed in the body. The drum may be configured to move through the channel as the mounting screw is further driven. The gap may be sized to retain the mounting clamp within the channel as the drum moves therethrough.

    摘要: An edge adapter for electrical box extension rings includes a flexible adapter body enclosing and defines an adapter channel, the flexible adapter body has a continuous sidewall defining at least four sides, each side having an inner wall surface facing the adapter channel and an outer wall surface opposite to the inner wall surface. A first pair of retention flanges are adjacent one another and disposed on and radially projecting from the outer wall surface on a first side of the adapter body. A second pair of retention flanges are adjacent one another and disposed on and radially projecting from the outer wall surface on the first side of the adapter body, the first pair of retention flanges and the second pair of retention flanges together defining a first retention slot shaped and dimensioned to receive a first inner wall of an electrical box extension ring. A third pair of retention flanges are adjacent one another and disposed on and radially projecting from the outer wall surface on the second side of the adapter body opposite the first side. A fourth pair of retention flanges are adjacent one another and disposed on and radially projecting from the outer wall surface on the second side of the adapter body, the third pair of retention flanges and the fourth pair of retention flanges together defining a second retention slot shaped and dimensioned to receive a second inner wall of the electrical box extension ring.
