ABSTRACT:
A bracket for mounting an electrical switchbox or the like on a metal stud of generally channel shape having a web at one side constituting a closed side. The stud has a front and rear flange which define an open side of the stud between them. The bracket includes a bracket plate having a front end and a rear end and a flap generally adjacent the front edge of the bracket plate for attaching the bracket to the front flange of the wall stud in a position in which the bracket plate extends rearwardly adjacent one side of the wall stud. Track members generally adjacent the front end of the bracket plate hold an electrical switchbox or the like in fixed position relative to the bracket plate with one side of the box generally adjacent the bracket plate and with an open front of the switchbox facing forwardly. An arm on the bracket plate may be moved from a first position in which the arm extends in front-to-rear direction with respect to the bracket plate to a second position in which the arm extends laterally inwardly from the bracket plate. When the bracket is to be used at the open side of a wall stud, the arm is moved to the second position and engages the web of the wall stud to support the bracket against lateral movement.
