Abstract: An improved electrical receptacle box having resealable openings and adapted to enclose an electrical apparatus such as a five-wire receptacle. The box is made up of two sections which are preferably identical. Each resealable opening is provided wth a channel about its periphery. The electrical apparatus is provided with a flange about its periphery and this flange is engaged in the channel of the box opening to ensure that the apparatus is securely mounted within the box. Planar seals are provided which can be inserted into the channel of the opening to seal off any unused opening.

Abstract: A junction box readily adapted for installation to an electric power cable made up of a pair of identical interlocking sections which are joined together over the cable at any appropriate point on the cable. In one embodiment the box is employed as a "stringer" box where a series of the boxes are installed on a single power cable. In such embodiment, hollow projections are provided at each end of the box for entry and exit of the power cable, the projections being formed by the pairing of clamping members in the end walls of the interlocking sections. Through the use of special reinforcing, the junction box is light in weight but can withstand heavy abuse.
