Abstract: A mounting bracket for retaining a junction box adjacent to a wall under construction. The mounting bracket includes a laterally extending member having a cutout section removed therefrom. A flange is substantially orthogonally connected to one side of the laterally extending member. At least one ear is operatively connected to the laterally extending member and projects through the cutout section in the same direction as the flange. A slot extends along the ear and is in communication with an insert opening positioned in the laterally extending member adjacent to the cutout section. A junction box, for electrical cables, telephone cables, television cables, or the like, having a positioning screw may be readily inserted through the cutout section with the positioning screw engaging the slot to retain the junction box relative to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A telephone book holder is described which consists of a spine with two groups of parallel channels in its rear surface. Edges of front and rear covers are dimensioned to be slid into respective channels of each group, the edges being connected to the covers by living hinges. Book retaining wires are pivotally connected at the top end of the spine and can be press fitted to the other end to retain a telephone book in position. Top and bottom caps are securable to the ends of the spine to retain the covers and the wires on the spine. The covers can be replaced without requiring removal of the book or complete detachment of the end caps and the thickness of the book to be held is adjustable by sliding the covers into appropriate channels.
