ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a bracket adapted for installation in a building wall by attachment to adjacent studs. The bracket has a pair of mirror image end connecting portions bent so as to position the bracket between the studs and position an electrical box mounted thereon so as to be flush with a wall to be assembled subsequently to the studs. Accommodation is made to field modify the end connecting portions for electrical boxes of varying depth. The bracket has a series of holes with which to mount electrical or other apparatus with machine screws and a series of conical detents for piloting and firmly holding sheet metal screws. Variations on the main embodiment provide a bracket with oval shaped holes and detents and a bracket with detents only.
Second and third embodiments of the invention are provided; the second to accommodate the bracket to attach to adjacent studs with non-standard spacing therebetween, and the third to mount a bracket to a single stud, but not to a second stud, and having a back brace or stiffening area in right angular relation to the plane of the bracket and operative to engage a wall opposite which said bracket is mounted.
