  • Patent number: 10084298
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for the installation of an electrical outlet between studs at a specified height. The apparatus comprises a body frame with an outlet box mounting frame and ears that extend outwardly from each corner. Each ear has a screw hole, which is precisely positioned, so that the bracket can be used to measure and install an electrical outlet at a specified height. During installation, the bracket is turned sideways, set on the floor and aligned with a wall stud. Next, a screw is secured in the uppermost ear that overlaps the wall stud. Next, the bracket is swung upward until the ears on the opposite side overlap the second wall stud. Next, screws are added to the remaining screw holes and all screws are tightly affixed, so that the apparatus is firmly mounted between the two wall studs at a specified height.
