Electrical box mounting assembly

An adjustable mounting bar and electrical box assembly for hanging a light fixture, fan, or other electrical device from a ceiling. All hardware required for mounting the electrical device is included with the assembly. The adjustable mounting bar includes sliding tubular members with end flanges for spanning between adjacent overhead joists. An electrical box is connected to the tubular members by a clamp and outer clamping fasteners, which can be loosened to adjust the length of the adjustable mounting bar. The end flanges include penetrable tabs that can be driven into the overhead joists to temporarily secure the adjustable mounting bar to the joists and thereby free the installer's hands. The outer face of the end flanges include a series of rows of slots arranged horizontally thereon and forming a plurality of bend lines. To accommodate ceiling coverings of various thickness, the end flanges can be bent outwards at the proper bend line to position the lower end of the electrical box flush with the ceiling surface. Load bearing bar fasteners threadably engaged in temporary storage receptacles in the sliding tubular members are removed therefrom and fastened through the end flanges to securely fasten the mounting bar to the joists. Load bearing device fasteners threadably engaged in temporary storage receptacles in the electrical box are removed therefrom and driven into receptacles in the clamp to secure the electrical device to the mounting bar. Oversize openings are provided in the top wall of the electrical box to ensure that the entire suspended load is borne by the clamp and mounting bar and not the electrical box.

Hinged weatherproof electrical box cover

The present invention is directed to a weatherproof electrical outlet box assembly for shielding and protecting electrical components from moisture comprising a faceplate for attaching to an outlet box, the faceplate being substantially planar, and perimetrically bounded by a substantially rectangular side edge, the faceplate having at least one aperture for receiving an electrical component and; the faceplate including a first hinge socket and a second hinge socket extending respectively from the side edge in substantially orthogonal orientation. The weatherproof electrical outlet box assembly further including a cover having a front wall, an opposed open end and a substantially rectangular perimetrical side wall therebetween defining a cover interior, the side wall having a rim bounding the open end, the cover including at least one access port through the side wall adjacent the open end for providing separate passageways into the interior of the cover; the cover including a first hinge pin and a second hinge pin extending respectively from the side wall adjacent the open end in substantially orthogonal orientation; and the cover being pivotally affixed to the faceplate by operative engagement of the hinge socket with the hinge pin of corresponding orientation and movable between an open and a closed position and wherein the hinge pin and the hinge socket that are not in operative engagement are not aligned.
