The round electrical work box with flanges for holding the box against a wall board, but also where the flanges are a plurality of arcuate flanges separated from each other, providing hand gripping spaces for gripping the electrical box for rotating it so that removable burs or pointed members can etch into the wall board along the circumference of the open edge of the round electrical work box.

Abstract: An adaptable toggle electrical work boxes with removable locators are provided as electrical old work boxes which can be used as “stud no stud” boxes, with a built-in single fastener assembly for attachment to a stud or a pair of external pivoting toggle fasteners which can attach the box to a wall board even if the location is not adjacent to an interior wall stud. The round electrical work box with flanges for holding the box against a wall board, but also where the flanges are a plurality of arcuate flanges separated from each other, providing hand gripping spaces for gripping the electrical box for rotating it so that removable burs or pointed members can etch into the wall board along the circumference of the open edge of the round electrical work box.

Abstract: A self-cutting, self-seating, self-securing electrical device is used for mounting lights and devices. It can be provided as an integral one piece box, with a saw ring blade provided as part of the round electrical work box, or the device can be provided without the built-in cutting saw ring blade, which is therefore provided as an add-on accessory which snaps into place within channel located along the top and channels on opposite sides of the downwardly extending round wall of the body of the self-seating electrical device. The self-seating electrical device also has two or more fasteners, such as three toggle swing clamps, to secure the electrical device in place in a cutout in a ceiling or interior or exterior wall panel, where the cutout is cut by the forward saw teethed blade edge of the electrical device.

Abstract: An illumination device and shade for displaying a selected image in an illuminated display using fully assembled, partly assembled or ready to assemble components is provided for. The device allows for multiple mounting configurations and mounting options and provides for an easy to exchange image sheet.

Abstract: A system for displaying an illuminated image which includes (1) a frame kit with interchangeable components and an assembled electric cord set and (2) a flexible sheet imprinted with an image which combine to make a unit for display of the image as on a table lamp or hanging lamp. The printed sheet is art paper or other media formed into a closed shape defined by the shape of the frame rims to which it is attached at both ends. One of the frame rims includes provision for the attachment of legs which connect the rim to a central hub, which provides support for a lamp holder. A slot is provided in the central hub so the complete electric cord set with the lamp holder attached can be inserted without disassembly. A website is set up whereby institutions or businesses can upload selected images with instructions for formatting for printing on the flexible sheet.

Abstract: A universal type of electrical work box is mountable to studs for new work, or for old work whether stud-mounted or not. For mounting to studs, fastener blocks guide fasteners at an angle from the interior of the box. Alternatively, slide-in fastener plates which have integral fastener blocks can be used Optional recessed break-away flanges are provided to properly space the open end of the box from the front of a stud for new work use Flanges mounted flush with the open face of the box are used for old work whether stud mounted or not. When a box is to be mounted on wallboard or any wall covering away from a stud, rotating wings rotate 90 degrees away from the box wall and sandwich the wallboard between the tightened wings and the flush flanges are used.

Abstract: A pre installed sign board message template is a template tool that can be pre installed between the studs or on the face of the studs by an electrician or other tradesman during the rough in stages of the job. The electrician or tradesman then pulls a wire tail through the templates at the correct location, terminating the wire tail beyond the outer surface the wall stud or ceiling rafters. A notation on the sign board message template directs the wall board (i.e., SHEET ROCK®) panel installer to pull the wire tail through the wall board at a specific location. The signboard templates can be mounted on wall or ceiling studs and on surfaces of any building project to provide visible indicia to assist the tradesman in interpreting a room layout transposed from a blue print or other form of job directions to the actual job work area.

Abstract: A deep truncated cylindrical electrical box with angled molded-in internal mounting brackets on the flat side surface is mounted to the side of a wooden or metal beam. This internal mounting feature is especially of interest in old work to minimize the size of drywall cutout by limiting it to the outer contour of the electrical box. Any device, such as a paddle fan, will be directly supported by an exterior supportive L-bracket, not by the molded box itself. Replacing the L-bracket with a heavy-duty cold rolled steel bar bracket permits fastening between two beams. An alternate embodiment for the electrical box itself supports lighter loads by the electrical box itself.

Abstract: A multi-mount, multi-use commercial line electrical box includes first and second side walls, lower and upper walls forming a front opening into the electrical box, and a rear wall. The first side wall has one or more removable external flanges, each flange having a front surface flush with an edge of the front opening for accommodating one or more fasteners. The second side wall also has one or more removable external flanges for accommodating one or more fasteners. A slide-in plate is mounted in side recesses along an inner surface of one of the side walls. The slide-in plate has one or more angled screw guides for a fastener in registry with an exit hole in one of the side walls. One of said lower and upper walls accommodates external attachment nails.

Abstract: Molded plastic commercial electrical boxes are provided with metal brackets to accept connectors for conduit or armored cable (BX). Using a sturdy molded plastic frame with metal brackets or regions is a cost-effective method to manufacture these electrical boxes. This type of construction can be used with electrical boxes having conventional attachment brackets or fastening extensions as well as electrical boxes with other variations of fastening methods. The metal brackets can accommodate one or more cable connector clamps therein.

Abstract: A multi-use electrical box has first and second side walls, lower and upper walls, which, together, form a front opening into the electrical box, and a rear wall. The first side wall includes a plurality of removable alignment tabs extending therefrom. The lower and upper walls each have external grooves which accommodate external attachment nails for the electrical box. One or more exit holes are provided in the first side wall for fastener screws. A slidable wall is removably mounted in the electrical box to receive one or more fastener screws at desired locations within the box.

Abstract: A mounting assembly mounts a ceiling mounted electrical box, to support a light or paddle fan fixture in a ceiling between studs of varying distance apart. The assembly includes an extended, pivotable bar attachable at opposite ends to adjacent spaced ceiling beam studs. A ceiling electrical box which supports a light and/or paddle fan fixture is mounted on the bar. Respective opposite end brackets are pivotally mounted on each end of the extended bar for attaching the bar to the spaced studs in the ceiling. The extended bar swivels and is pivoted with respect to each of the end brackets to accommodate variable spacing between the spaced studs. The electrical box is slidable along the bar to allow selective positioning of the box on the bar between the studs. The bar may be telescopic to allow total length of the bar to be changed for installation.
