ABSTRACT:
A self-attaching receptacle box adapted for use with light fixtures to afford a quick connection for the light fixture wiring to a source of current comprises a rectangular housing having in one wall thereof an opening for receiving the wires and a projection adjacent one edge of the opening, and a slotted opening in said wall opposite the projection through which extends a clamp portion of a block. The block has a threaded opening to receive a screw extending from an adjacent wall member which permits the block to be moved toward and away from the wire-receiving opening to clamp the projection and clamp portion of the block against opposite edges of a standard knock-out opening of the light fixture or other supporting panel.
