[0006] In accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wall plate support frame comprises a plurality of square flanges, a plurality of channels formed between the square flanges, a large number of oblong holes, a plurality of adjustment seats, and a plurality of connection portions. Each of the connection portions of the wall plate support frame has a hook tab. The wall plate support frame is made of plastics.

[0007] In accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wall plate support frame comprises a large number of oblong holes and a large number of protruded posts. A plaster wall plate has a plurality of sleeves to engage with the protruded posts. Each of the protruded posts has a through aperture. The second wall plate support frame is made of plastics.

[0008] In accordance with a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wall plate support frame comprises a plurality of square flanges and a large number of oblong holes. A wooden wall plate has a square recess to receive one of the square flanges.

[0009] In accordance with a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wall plate support frame comprises a large number of oblong holes, a plurality of adjustment seats, and a plurality of adjustment blocks. Each of the adjustment blocks has two bevel prongs. Each of the adjustment seats has two sockets to receive the corresponding adjustment block. A nail fastens the adjustment seat on the wall plate support frame. A plastics wall plate is disposed on the wall plate support frame. The adjustment block adjust an angle of the plastics wall plate so that the plastics wall plate is parallel to a wall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 1, 1(A), 1(B), and 2, a first wall plate support frame 1 comprises a plurality of square flanges 122, a plurality of channels 11 formed between the square flanges 122, a large number of oblong holes 10, a plurality of adjustment seats 13, and a plurality of connection portions 12.

[0022] Each of the connection portions 12 of the first wall plate support frame 1 has a hook tab 123.

[0023] The first wall plate support frame 1 is made of plastics.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 2 again, a plurality of knives 2 cut the first wall plate support frame 1 along the channels 11.

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 3(A), a second wall plate support frame 1a comprises a large number of oblong holes 10a and a large number of protruded posts 120a.

[0026] A plaster wall plate 30 has a plurality of sleeves 31 to engage with the protruded posts 120a.

[0027] Each of the protruded posts 120a has a through aperture 121a.

[0028] The second wall plate support frame 1a is made of plastics.

[0029] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 4(A), a third wall plate support frame 1b comprises a plurality of square flanges 122b and a large number of oblong holes 10b.

[0030] A wooden wall plate 32 has a square recess 33 to receive one of the square flanges 122b.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 5(A), a fourth wall plate support frame 1c comprises a large number of oblong holes 10c, a plurality of adjustment seats 13c, and a plurality of adjustment blocks 5c.

[0032] Each of the adjustment blocks 5c has two bevel prongs 50c.

[0033] Each of the adjustment seats 13c has two sockets 130c to receive the corresponding adjustment block 5c.

[0034] A hammer 6c bumps one of the adjustment blocks 5c into the corresponding adjustment seat 13c.
