Abstract: An electrical box including an enclosure. The enclosure has a peripheral wall and a bottom. The peripheral wall has a first plurality of openings. The bottom has a second plurality of upstanding retainers adjacent the openings. A third plurality of wedge elements are disposed between the retainers and the peripheral wall adjacent the openings. The wedge elements are resiliently deflectable by insertion of electrical cables through the respective openings whereby insertion of the electrical cables wedges the electrical cables between the wedge elements and the peripheral wall.

Abstract: A fastening device for use with conventional threaded, knurled, serrated, or smooth cylindrical studs comprising a cylindrical bore, the bore having a counter sink at one end thereof and a counter bore at the other end thereof, and a tubular fastener formed of relatively thin spring steel positioned within the bore. The fastener is slotted from end to end to be resiliently compressible, and thereby useable within bores of different diameters. At one end, the fastener has a rigid collar larger than the member which fits within the counter sink of the bore. The fastener adjacent the other end has a plurality of fingers, which are positioned in the counter bore. The fingers are folded so as to extend radially outwardly of the member at a position remote from the distal ends thereof to form an enlarged portion which substantially fills the counter bore, and are folded adjacent the distal ends so as to position the distal ends radially inwardly of the fastener.
