ABSTRACT:
A bracket device for mounting electrical devices in the interior of hollow partitions having a front wall and a back wall with a hollow space therebetween typically comprising: (i) a base capable of being fixedly attached to the floor; (ii) a riser extending upwardly from the base; and (iii) an annular plate having front and rear faces attached to the upper portion of the riser and having an opening therethrough sufficiently large to receive an electrical device accessible from the exterior side of the front wall, the annular plate also having means such as mounting holes for attaching a cover ring to its front face and a junction box to its rear face. Preferably, the device also includes (iv) a stabilizing arm extending rearwardly from the annular plate, the arm being sufficiently long to extend to the rear wall of the partition. The stabilizing rm can be attached either to an upper segment or a lower segment of the annular plate. A back plate extending vertically can be attached to the stabilizing arm for additional stability. The riser and the stabilizing arm can be adjustable in length. In alternative embodiments, either the cover ring or the junction box can be an integral part of the bracket device.
