Abstract: An actuating assembly in particular for a vehicle seat has an elongate carrier member and brackets projecting from the carrier member. The brackets carry a pivot bar and actuating elements are mounted pivotably on the pivot bar. To afford user-specific flexibility in regard to the arrangement of the actuating elements in the actuating assembly, the carrier member has spaced-apart, transversely extending openings having a cross-sectional profile with an undercut configuration and each bracket is fitted into a corresponding opening with a fitting portion whose cross-sectional profile is matched to that of the corresponding opening to mount the bracket to the carrier member.

Abstract: A bracket for mounting an outlet box to a stud comprising a first flat portion including at least one opening for receiving a fastener or fastening means, a second flat portion located in a plane at an angle to the plane in which the first flat portion is located, and a third flat portion forming an angle with the second flat portion and at least a portion of which is capable of being severed from the bracket. Preferably, the second flat portion is located in a plane at a right angle to the plane in which the first flat portion is located, and the third flat portion forms an obtuse angle with the second flat portion. The bracket can be used with metal or wood studs and can be secured to either the open or the closed end of a stud.
