Abstract: A plurality of terminal blocks are secured to a molded case circuit breaker by a bracket assembly which includes a mounting bracket placed against a side wall of the circuit breaker molded case. A back-up plate is inserted in a pocket formed between the outer wall and an inner wall of the molded case and electrically isolated from the cavity containing the circuit breaker operating mechanism. Fasteners extend from the mounting bracket through the outer wall and engage the back-up plate. Since the pocket is electrically isolated from the circuit breaker operating mechanism, the back-up plate, and particularly the fasteners, can be made of metal for a solid, durable connection.

Abstract: The box support system uses a channel shape one piece slotted strut and a twist spring snap clip. The strut ends are bent opposite the legs of the channel to form spring separable fingers which snap over and lock behind the bulb on the stem of a Tee bar. The slots of the strut are centered transversely providing two equal shelves on each side. The slots are positioned asymmetrically longitudinally so that a box may be supported anywhere between spaced Tee bars. If it will not fit because of unslotted areas, it will fit if the strut test is turned end-for-end. The spring snap clip includes a V-shape body forming a pointed nose. The two legs of the body have shouldered necked portions adjacent outwardly extending feet which terminate in upwardly extending toe tab. Opposite shoulders at the neck include oppositely angled spring locking talons. Box assembly is obtained by inserting the clip through the center knockout in the back of a box with the toe tabs entering two smaller holes on each side of the knockout.

Abstract: A support for mounting an electrical device box into an opening made in a panel. This support has an elongated bar-shaped member longer than the device box and two L-shaped members coplanar to and projecting from one side of the bar-shaped member. The distance between each one of the opposite ends of the bar-shaped member and the remote point of this bar-shaped member from which the remote L-shaped member projects is substantially equal to the height of the electrical box. In use, one can easily insert the bar-shaped member behind the panel through the opening made in the panel by first introducing one of the opposite ends of the bar-shaped member into the opening and moving this one end until the adjacent L-shaped member contacts the panel. Then, the support can be rotated so that the other opposite end of the bar-shaped member passes through the opening, such being possible because of the above mentioned distance selection.
