  • Patent number: 7677512
    Abstract: A rough-in bracket is provided consisting of a border with a central opening sized to fit one or more receptacles and one or more low voltage units. The bracket has a snap-off alignment bar to properly align the receptacle. Rearward protruding wiring flanges provides support for low voltage wires and cabling. Another embodiment has a removable via plastic nubs alignment tool snapped on and is snapped into the mounted receptacle to allow the border to be screwed into the stud. Then the alignment tool is removed. Screw in bases in the forward flange of the border provide a mount for a low voltage unit, whereby a single plastic cover can esthetically cover both the receptacle and the low voltage unit.

  • Patent number: 6576835
    Abstract: A multiple gang junction box assembly includes a main box and wire clamping devices.disposed in an interior chamber of and attached to the main box. Each wire clamping device includes a clamp housing structure attached to the main box so as to define a passage therethrough into its interior chamber and a clamp member disposed in the housing structure across the passage and flexably bendable at an upper end attached to the main box so as to enable the clamp member to undergo pivotal movement from a closed position toward an open position relative to the passage such that a lower end of the clamp member and a plurality of barbs on the housing structure can assume a locking condition relative to a wire pushed into the main box through passage that prevents the wire from being pulled back through the passage and from the main box.

  • Patent number: 6566600
    Abstract: A multiple gang junction box assembly includes a main box, divider panels, first and second pluralities of positioning elements for receiving and positioning the divider panels in an interior chamber of the main box so as to laterally space apart the divider panels in lockable positions therein and to partition the interior chamber into a plurality of side-by-side compartments, and a front cover plate for covering a front opening of the main box. The first plurality of positioning elements are disposed in the interior chamber on either a rear wall or top and bottom walls of the main box. The second plurality of positioning elements are disposed on upper and lower edges of the divider panels and on top and bottom walls of the main box and spaced forwardly from the first plurality of positioning elements.

  • Patent number: 6395981
    Abstract: A multiple gang junction box assembly includes a main box, divider panels, positioning elements attached to the main box in an interior chamber thereof for slidably receiving the divider panels therein and laterally spacing apart the divider panels from one another so as to partition the interior chamber into adjacent compartments being in a condition of electrical arcing isolation from one another which allows low and high voltage components to be housed therein, and a front cover plate having vertical lands protruding therefrom and laterally spaced apart from one another. The displacement of the divider panels from one another is equal to a selected number of times the distance of the vertical lands from one another. At least some vertical lands of the front cover plate and the front edge portions of the divider panels are placed in flush contact providing additional isolation of adjacent compartments from one another.
