专利汇可以提供Electrical outlet box assembly专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A conveniently installed electrical outlet box having a mounting bracket which is mountable on the studding of a building and a separate wiring box having substantially conventional forwardfacing outlet openings and terminals at the rear for power wires. The wiring box is slideably receivable on a track-and-rail system into the mounting bracket so that the assembly can be mounted on a stud prior to the installation of wallboard; and, after an access opening is cut in the installed wallboard, the wiring box can be slid out into the opening until the front face is flush with the front surface of the wallboard, and then locked at that position. A special face plate is provided which can be displaced after mounting to seal off the outlet openings when not in use.,下面是Electrical outlet box assembly专利的具体信息内容。

1. An electrical outlet box assembly comprising: a. a mounting bracket element having a pair of substantially planar spaced parallel wall members joined at one edge by an orthogonal wall member, said members defining a channel; b. a wiring box element having a front face with outlet openings therein and terminal means connectable to a source of power; c. one of said elements having track means and the other of said elements having rail means slideably engaged with said track means such that said wiring box is slideably received in said channel; and d. said bracket element having a substantially L-shaped support fastenable to a substantially orthogonal edge of building stud.
2. Structure according to claim 1 including a plurality of parallel tracks mounted on said wiring box and a plurality of parallel rails mounted on said bracket and engaged with said tracks.
3. Structure according to claim 2 wherein said plurality of parallel tracks comprises pairs of opposed tracks on opposite sides of said wiring box and including two slides, each fixedly securable in one of said pairs of tracks and having an upstruck portion with an aperture therein to adapt said wiring box to a conventional outlet box bracket.
4. Structure according to claim 1 and including a means of securing said wiring box against sliding in said channel.
5. Structure according to claim 4 wherein said bracket includes a frontal portion defining an entry-way to said channel, said frontal portion having a tab projecting externally of said channel and having a threaded hole therethrough substantially adjacent said channel; said bracket also including a screw threadably engaged in said hole and having a substantially circular head with a segment removed therefrom to form a flat; said head being dimensioned to allow free passage of said wiring element into said channel when said screw is turned with the flat toward the channel, and frictionally engaging said wiring box when the screw is turned such that the flat is remote from the channel; and said tab and screw together defining said securing means.
6. Structure according to claim 5 wherein said tab is duplicated on substantially opposite sides of the frontal portion of said bracket and said screw is likewise duplicated, whereby a jaw-like gripping of said wiring box in said channel can be effected.
7. Structure according to claim 6 wherein each of said tabs has a second threaded hole more remote from said channel than the first-mentioned hole, whereby said bracket is adapted to engage a conventional screw-mounted wiring box.
8. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said substantially L-shaped support comprises two integral essentially mutually orthogonal plates having the distal edges thereof inwardly bent to define jaws to grip a stud to which said bracket is mounted.
9. Structure according to claim 8 wherein said L-shaped support has at least one mounting hole at the junction of said plates through which a fastener may be driven into a stud to which said bracket is mounted whereby a fastener may be driven through an opening cut in installed wallboard diaonally of said wallboard, and said jaws are caused to grip a stud simultaneously.
10. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said wiring box has a threaded hole in the front face thereof and including: a. a face plate having an elongated slot therein; b. a screw extended through said slot and engaged in said threaded hole to fasten said face plate to the wiring box; c. said face plate having access openings disposed therein in alignment with said outlet openings when said face plate is engaged by said screw at one portion of said slot, and being Slideable on said screw to a position in which said access openings are misaligned with said outlet openings to prevent access to said outlet openings.
