Patent number: 7279635Abstract: A quick connecting universal electrical box system for the mounting of electrical sockets, switches or any electronic or communication component that is typically installed into a wall is disclosed. The system comprises a mounting frame and an electrical box, which can be pre-wired with any socket unit or component, such that installation of the electrical box into a wall is greatly simplified. The mounting frame is first inserted into a wall, followed by insertion of the electrical box into the mounting frame. The action of inserting the electrical box into the mounting frame forces flaps in the mounting frame to engage and lock the mounting frame into the wall. Retaining studs formed on flexible side panels of the electrical box then engage with corresponding openings in the mounting frame to secure the electrical box within the mounting frame. Secure installation of this electrical box is simple and quick without the need for any tools or fastening screws.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2005Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Electec LimitedInventor: G.

Patent number: 6974911Abstract: A modular terminal connector system for zone wiring systems. A patch panel, a zone box, and a cubicle are connected to each other with cables. Each cable carries a single data channel comprising voice and data communications signals, and has one end coupled to a male compound connector and another end coupled to a female compound connector. The male compound connector includes three plugs and the female compound connector includes three outlets, where the plugs and the outlets are arranged in the same configuration such that the male compound connector can be plugged into the female compound connector. The zone box houses a number of female compound connectors, while the patch panel includes a number of ganged zone boxes. The cubicle or workstation can include a cable grommet for securing a female compound connector therein.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2003Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Electec LimitedInventor: Douglas Hyde
