  • Patent number: 10361547
    Abstract: A box mounting clip for mounting a junction box on a stud mounting bracket includes a base having a front face, a rear face, an upper edge margin, a lower edge margin, a left edge margin, and a right edge margin. A top flange extends forward from the upper edge margin and a bottom flange extends forward from the lower edge margin. The top and bottom flanges are configured to receive a stud mounting bracket therebetween. A positioning tab extends generally forward from the base at an angle and is configured to prevent rotation of the box mounting clip relative to the stud mounting bracket when the stud mounting bracket is received between the top and bottom flanges.

  • Patent number: 9209609
    Abstract: A cable tray system including cable trays formed of a first side rail and a second side rail arranged substantially parallel to one another and transverse rungs extending between and connecting the first and second side rails. The first and second side rails each include a vertical web, a portion of which is inwardly protruding. The cable tray system further includes a splice plate for splicing or joining multiple cable trays. The splice plate includes a vertical web, a portion of which is inwardly protruding, wherein the inwardly protruding portion of the splice plate cooperates with the inwardly protruding portion of the first and second side rails. Holes in the first and second side rails can be aligned with holes in the splice plate through which fasteners may be inserted through to secure the splice plate to the side rails.
