Description
MOUNTING FOR ELECTRICAL OUTLET BOX
Background and Summary of the Invention -This invention pertains to a mounting for sup-porting electrical outlet boxes of at least two sizes wherein there is provided an L-shaped mounting bracket for attachment to a wall stud and having a front wall containing a central opening to register with the open side of an outlet box. The front wall has at least two groups of four access openings located outwardly of the central opening and all access openings are of a size to receive therethrough the shanks of outlet box mounting screws. The access openings of one of the groups is more widely spaced than the access openings of the other of the groups, whereby outlet boxes oE
at least two different sizes are mountable upon the front wall of the L-shaped mounting bracket in conjunction with dry wall rings of two comparable sizes. The mounting bracket includes a substantially right angular rearwardly projecting stabilizing extension.
More particularly, tha present invention provides an lmprovement to the device disclosed in applicant's U.S. Patent No. 4,399,922, granted August 23, 1983.
The prior U.S. Patent discloses a mounting bracket for an electrical outlet box of one standard size and also one adapted to cooperate with a dry wall ring of one ~ . ```'`

standard size. The present invention improves upon this arrangement by enabli.ng the mounting bracket to support outlet boxes and dry wall rings of two standard sizes presently in wide usage. This expanded capability is realized merely by the addition of a second set of screw receiving openings in the forward panel of the L-shaped mounting bracket.
Another major impro~ement over the device in the above U.S. Patent is the provision in the right angular rearwardly projecting stabilizing extension of the mounting bracket of a large clearance openlng to receive therethrough an electrical conduit leading from the outlet box, whereby this conduit can extend in either direction on either side of the stabilizing extension, as well as vertically in the interior wall ~ space. This versatility of use was not possible to : achieve with the mounting bracket according to the prior : patent, because the right angular stabilizing extension blocked passage of the electrical conduit through the extension.

In the present invention, as further improvement features over the device in the above U.S. Patent, the L-shaped mounting bracXet is manufactured in three sizes to enable use thereof on walls of thr~ee diEferent conven-tional thicknesses. The necessity for break-away portions of the mounting bracket AS in the above U~S. Patent has been obviated, with a savings of meta:L and a simplifica~
tion of packaging. The front panel of the bracket has also been si2ed according to the present invention to allow the installation of outlet boxes and their mounting brackets on two sides of a metal wall stud, when required.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art during the course of the following detailed description.

Detailed DescriE~tion Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals designate like parts, an outlet box 20 of one standard size carries a pair of diagonally disposed corner fastening means such as mounting screws 21. A cooperating dry wall ring 22 of matching size has cooperating fasten-ing means receiving openings such as corner slots 23 and 24 to receive the shanks of screws 21 prior to their tightening, as disclosed in the above referenced U.S.
Patent.
:
An L-shaped mounting bracket 25 for supporting the outlet box 20 and dry wall ring 22 on the metal wall stud 26 includes a front panel 27 having a main opening 28 to register with the open side of the outlet box 20, and a rearwardly extending right angular stabilizing extension or flange 29, substantially as disclosed in the above noted U.S. Patent. In accordance with a feature of this inven-tion, the front panel 27 of bracket 25 is provided near its four corners with two separate groups of access openings quch as apertures 30 and 30a, there being four apertures in each group/ as shown. The apertures in both groups are sized to allow passage therethrough of the shanks of outlet box mounting screws, such as the screws 21, prior to tightening the screws to complete the joining of the box and dry wall ring to the mounting bracket.
More particularly, the apertures 30 are spaced and aliyned A
to receive the screws 21 of the standard size box 20~ such screws 21 also properly engaging the dry wall rinq 22 of a matching size, as shown in Figure 2.
The second group of apertures 30a which are more widely spaced than the apertures 30 can receive the mount-ing screws of a larger standard size outlet box, not shown, and the screws 21 of such larg~-r outlet box are received in the corner slots of a similarly larger stan-dard size dry wall ring 22a shown in phantom lines in Figure 2. ~hus, the mounting bracket 25 possesses increased utility and versatility compared to the mounting bracket in the above U.S. patent by virtue of the provi-sion of a second set of screw-receiving apertures in its forward panel 27.
Additionally, the forward panel 27 has been fore-shortened somewhat in comparision to the prior art whereby its vertical edge 31 can be positioned at the transverse center of a stud 26 and anchored thereto by a pair oE
screws 32 via apertures 32' in panel 27. In the above U.S. Patent, the longer panel 27 overlapped the entlre front face of the stud 26, whereby only one outlet box could be attached to the stud at one elevation. The present invention enables the attachment of two outlet boxes to the stud 26, one on each side of the same and at one elevation, the second box mounting bracket 25' being indicated in phantom lines in Figure 2.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, the right angular stabilizing extension 29 of mounting bracket 25 is provided with a relatively larqe, preferably 2'1 diameter circular opening 33, not provided in the prior art. This large opening allows the elec-trical cable or conduit 34 extending from the outlet box 20 to be routed on either side of the extension 29 and through the extension, as shown in Figures 3, 5, and 7.
The cable 34 can be routed to the left or the right of the extension 29, upwardly or downwardly within the wall, or in substantially any required direction. In the prior art, the cable could not extend through the non-apertured bracket extension 29. This is an important advantage of the present invention.
With reference to Figures 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8, it can be observed that the mounting bracket is provided in three sizes to enable placement of the bracket in walls having three standard thicknesses between their opposite side dry wall panels 35 and 36. The three sizes of mounting brackets for this purpose are designated 25, 25a and ~5b, Figures 4, 6 and 8. I~he only difference among the three brackets is that their stabilizing extensions 29 are formed progressively shorter to extend properly between the dry wall panels 35 and 36 of the walls having three thicknesses, as stated. This arrangement has been found to be more convenient, more economical and more practical than the provision of a mounting bracket of one size with break-away portions of the extension 29 enabling the bracket to be used on walls of all standard thic~nesses.
savings of metal is effected in manufacturing the bracket in three sizPs according to the present invention.
It should now be apparent that the present inven-tion materially increases the utility and the versatility of the outlet box mounting in severAl different ways _~_ ~3~
compared to the prior art. Two standard sizes of outlet boxes and dry wall rings can be accommodated by the mounting bracket 25. The electrical cable 34 can be routed in any direction within the wa:Ll space by virtue of the provision of the opening 33. The mounting can be made conveniently and with economy and a minumum of labor on walls of three standard thicknesses. Two outlet boxes can be attached to a single stud 26 at one elevation.
A further embodiment of my present electrical out-let box i5 shown in Figures 9 and 10, wherein a generally L-sh~ped mounting bracket 125 for supporting the outlet box 120 and dry wall ring 122 on a metal wall stud 126 includes a front panel 127 having a main opening 128 to register with the open size of the outlet box 120, and a rearwardly extending-right angular stabilizing extension of flange 129, substantially as discloqed in the preceding embodiment. In accordance with a feature of this further embodiment of the invention, the front panel 127 of bracket 125 is provided near its four corners with two separate groups of access openings such as apertures 130 and 130a, there being four apertures in each group, as shown. The apertures in both groups are sized to aliow passage therethrough of the shanks of fastener means such as outlet box mounting screws, such as the screws 121, prior to tightening the screws to complete the joining of the box and dry wall ring to the mounting bracket. More particularly, the apertures 130 are spaced and aligned to receive the screws 121 of the standard size box 12, such ~p~
screws 121 also properly engaging the dry wall ring 122 of a matching sl2e, in the same fashion as described in Figures 1-8 of the first embodiment.
The second group of apertures 130a which are more widely spaced than the apertures 130 can receive the mounting screws of a larger standard size outlet box, as previously described in the Eirst embodiment.
Panel 127 is provided with an offset 140 adjacent its distal end by right angular panel portion 141 which terminates in a right angular mounting flange 142 which is displaced forwardly of and in a parallel plane with mount-ing surface 127 on the mounting 125. This flange 142 is provided with apertures 132' to receive screws 132 for securing the mounting flange 142 to a stud 126.
As can be seen more clearly in Figure 10, the off-set 140 (which is approximately 3/16"~ is provided to accommodate for the thickness of the peripheral portion of the mounting face plate 122' on the dry wall ring 122.
This arrangement including the distal mounting flange 142 allows the peripheral portion of the dry wall ring 122 to lie flat across the dry wall panel 135 while still abutting the front panel 127 in a sandwich-like manner. This arrangement eliminates the necessity for cutting the inside surface of the dry wall panel 135 to receive therein the peripheral portion of the dry wall ring 122.
