| 20100032181 | Installation construction for electrical box - The present invention discloses an installation construction for an electrical box which comprises a mounting fastener and a mounting aperture on an electrical box; the mounting fastener is of a thin fastener shape with a defined thickness, and is disposed with a construction for securing onto a wall face; the mounting aperture is located on a bottom face of the electrical box, and has a depth dimension which corresponds with the thickness of the mounting fastener, and a transverse cross-sectional shape and dimension which correspond with a transverse cross section of the mounting fastener; an interlocking construction is disposed between the mounting fastener and the mounting aperture, the electrical box can be secured in place by directly inserting the mounting aperture to the mounting fastener. In comparison with the prior arts, the present invention provides an installation construction for an electrical box which requires simply securing a mounting fastener with an area far smaller than that of a mounting bottom plate in the prior art onto a wall face. Conveniently, by means of inserting the electrical box onto the mounting fastener, the electrical box could be secured in place. As the mounting fastener and the electrical box can be directly and accordingly engaged with each other, when the electrical box has to be dismounted, a disengaging action is not first required, thereby simplifying a mounting and dismounting action. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100044065 | Adjustable mounting bracket - A mounting bracket for supporting an electrical box or other electrical device to a wall stud is adapted to contact an opposing wall to resist movement of the bracket.

The extension plate is integrally formed with the support plate and can be folded to an outward extended position to increase the effective length of the stabilizing plate to accommodate wall cavities of different depths. The extension plate includes fold lines so that an end portion can be bent to shorten the effective length of the extension plate. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100065296 | CABLE PROTECTOR FOR ELECTRICAL OUTLET BOX - An electrical outlet box assembly includes an electrical outlet box and a cable protector. The outlet box includes a box interior for accommodating an electrical fixture and an electrical cable terminated to the fixture. The outlet box includes a mounting tab having a threaded aperture therethrough. The mounting screws are insertable through the aperture of the mounting tab. The cable protector is positioned adjacent the mounting tab for separating the mounting screw from the interior of the box for preventing contact between the mounting screw and the cable terminated therein. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20110005800 | PROTECTIVE COVER - An assembly includes a mud ring and a detachable cover. The mud ring includes a planar surface including slots for mounting the mud ring to a utility box. The mud ring also includes a raised portion comprising side walls and end walls, the raised portion being elevated with respect to the planar surface. The detachable cover is connected to the raised portion by at least one hinged mechanism, the hinged mechanism being configured to be broken away from the mud ring. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110048759 | Mounting assembly for electrical fixture - A mounting assembly and method are provided for mounting an electrical fixture to a ceiling structure. The mounting assembly includes a mounting plate and a cover plate overlying the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a plurality of strengthening ribs and a plurality of fastener holes for receiving fasteners to mount the mounting plate directly to the ceiling support structure. The mounting plate has a dimension to overlie the support structure and a portion of an electrical box mounted adjacent the support structure to define an open area of the electrical box. Mounting bolts extend downwardly from the mounting plate for attaching to a bracket which supports an electrical fixture such as a ceiling fan. The mounting bolts and the bracket supporting the electrical fixture are cantilevered with respect to the ceiling support. The mounting assembly can be used as a retrofit and mounted over an existing ceiling substrate with screws that can pass through the ceiling substrate into the ceiling support. The cover plate has a dimension to cover the mounting plate and the open area of the electrical box. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20120085566 | Universal Metal Stud Clip - A universal metal stud clip is a support mechanism for securing one or more electrical boxes or other construction components to metal construction elements such as metal studs. The opposed spring arm design permits the clip to be oriented in any useful way and frictionally secured to metal studs of varying dimensions. Metal stud clips include one or more pair of resilient arms to frictionally engage metal studs. Using two or more pair of resilient arms provides a very stable attachment to the metal stud. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20120267140 | ELECTRICAL WIRE JACKETING CONFIGURATION - An electrical wire jacketing configuration used in an electrical junction box herein has a body portion in which a recess is formed. The electrical wire jacketing configuration includes a gutter-shaped portion configured to pass an electrical wire therethrough, a slidable engaging portion formed in both end portions of the gutter-shaped portion in the across-the-width-direction, and is slidingly engabeable with a guide portion of the recess, and a projection extending from the gutter-shaped portion toward the recess so as to prevent possible erroneous or wrong attachment of the electrical wire jacketing configuration to the recess. The recess may have a secondary guide portion configured to proceed the projection into the recess such that the projection can engage with the recess. The electrical wire jacketing configuration to which the electrical wire is fixed slidably moves toward the recess in a longitudinal direction of the electrical wire, and thereby mates with the recess. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20140076603 | SCREW RETAINING MECHANISM AND PV JUNCTION BOX ASSEMBLED WITH THE SCREW RETAINING MECHANISM - A screw retaining mechanism includes a hollow stud and a nut is matched with the hollow stud. The hollow stud has a plurality of elastic plates extending from a free end thereof and along a peripheral wall thereof An opening is located between two adjacent elastic plates. An inner wall of the nut has a plurality of tubers protruding in the axial direction to match into the opening. The elastic plate defines a first side face and a second side face opposite to the first side face. Said first side face is used to guide the tubers into the opening and the second side face prevent the tuber fall off from the stud. | 03-20-2014 |
