Abstract: An adjustable mounting lug for an electrical box that diminishes the degree of play of the adjustable mounting lug relative to at least an orientation of a front face of the electrical box. Sidewalls of the adjustable mounting lug can include a first portion comprising a first segment, and a second portion comprising a first inclined side, an intermediate curved side, and a second inclined side. The second portion can be configured accommodate the adjustable mounting lug having a relatively large height while maintaining at least a minimum length of a bottom wall of the adjustable mounting lug that is supported by a support louvre of the electrical box. The second portion also provides the sidewalls of the larger adjustable mounting lug with a configuration that can prevent the adjustable mounting lug from interfering with at least fittings in the box that can be associated with relatively large knockout openings.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing an electrical box to reduce the amount of scrap material therefrom. More particularly, the present invention provides a metallic electrical outlet box that is formed from a sheet of material and folded into an electrical box.

Abstract: An electrical outlet box for accommodating an electrical fixture comprising a generally rectangular box having a back wall, a perimetrical side wall surrounding said back wall defining an open front face and a box interior, said side wall comprised of a first and second set of generally parallel spaced apart wall portions; and a slidable extension nested within said generally rectangular box, that can be moved from within the generally rectangular box to an extended position beyond the open front face.

Abstract: An electrical outlet box extension comprising a perimetrical side wall with an inner surface and an outer surface having an open front face and an open rear face and defining an interior space, and having at least one outwardly protruding resilient tab located on the side wall outer surface. The box extension is designed for adjustable insertable receipt within an electrical outlet box for increasing the depth of the box.
