  • Publication number: 20240396316
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides descriptions of electrical box assemblies for supporting heavy fixtures, such as ceiling fans, and facilitating electrical connections to the fixtures. The electrical box assembly includes an electrical box that allows a connection between the box and electrical conduits and a connection, e.g., a weatherproof connection, with a housing of the fixture. The box has an open front face to house electrical connections between the fixture and wires supplying electrical power to the box via the conduits. The box has a bottom wall and an open front face. A reinforcement member fits within the electrical box and includes a panel shaped to conform to at least a portion of the bottom wall and one or more standoffs extending toward the open front face of the box. When the reinforcement member is positioned within the box, mounting holes in the bottom wall of the box and reinforcement member are aligned to allow the box to be attached to a building structure.

  • Publication number: 20240372347
    Abstract: A weatherproof electrical device cover may be provided. The weatherproof electrical device cover may comprise a base, a lid, and a tension element. The base may comprise a keeper. The lid may be attached to the base via a hinge. The lid may comprise a tang wherein the lid is operative to hingedly close on the base. When the lid is closed on the base, the keeper may be operative to retain the tang. The tension element may be disposed between the base and the lid. The lid may be operative to slide relative to the base to compress the tension element. When the tension element is at a first compression level, the keeper may retain the tang. When the tension element is at a second compression level greater than the first compression level, the keeper may not retain the tang.
