Abstract
A quick connecting universal electrical box system for the mounting of electrical sockets, switches or any electronic or communication component th at is typically installed into a wall is disclosed. The system comprises a mounting frame and an electrical box, which can be pre-wired with any socket unit or component, such that installation of the electrical box into a wall is greatly simplified. The mounting frame is first inserted into a wall, follow ed by insertion of the electrical box into the mounting frame. The action of inserting the electrical box into the mounting frame forces flaps in the mounting frame to engage and lock the mounting frame into the wall. Retainin g studs formed on flexible side panels of the electrical box then engage with corresponding openings in the mounting frame to secure the electrical box within the mounting frame. Secure installation of this electrical box is simple and quick without the need for any tools or fastening screws.
Claims (25)
1. Electrical box mounting system, comprising an electrical box for receiving a functional insert; and a mounting frame for insertion into a wall opening for an electrical box;
the mounting frame having a body being shaped and constructed for receiving the electrical box, and having locking means for locking the mounting frame in the wall opening, the locking means being movable from an inactive position wherein the mounting frame is insertable into the wall opening to a locking position wherein the locking means retain the mounting frame in the wall opening, whereby the locking means are forced into the locking position upon insertion of the electrical box into the mounting frame.
the mounting frame having a body being shaped and constructed for receiving the electrical box, and having locking means for locking the mounting frame in the wall opening, the locking means being movable from an inactive position wherein the mounting frame is insertable into the wall opening to a locking position wherein the locking means retain the mounting frame in the wall opening, whereby the locking means are forced into the locking position upon insertion of the electrical box into the mounting frame.
2. Electrical box mounting system as defined in claim 1, wherein the functional insert is a power or data consumer or controller.
