Abstract: An electrical outlet box is rendered adjustable forwardly and rearwardly on a mounting bracket through which the outlet box is secured to an adjacent wall stud. The forward and rearward adjustment of the outlet box is accomplished in one embodiment of the invention through the use of slotted plaster ears through which the box is connected to the mounting bracket. In a second embodiment, the outlet box receives side wall mounting screws which can be adjusted with the box forwardly and rearwardly relative to the mounting bracket before the screws are caused to penetrate an extension of the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for an electrical outlet box is provided in its front panel which attaches to a wall stud with an auxiliary group of attaching screw receiving openings to enable the mounting of two standard sizes of outlet boxes and dry wall rings by means of the same bracket. The rearwardly extending right angular stabilizing extension of the mounting bracket which extends to the dry wall panel on the far side of the wall is provided with a large cable receiving opening which allows the electrician to direct an electrical cable from the outlet box in any required direction within the interior wall space. The mounting bracket is provided in three sizes to enable its use in walls of three standard thicknesses.
