ABSTRACT:
Improvements in wiring assemblies using an electrical junction box assembly having preset electrical terminals. Such present terminals are hard-wired to certain electrical connection devices near the outer periphery of the box. Electrical components, such as a switch, a receptacle and the like can be quickly and easily mounted in place in the box in electrical contact with respective preset terminals. The selective electrical component can be provided with a number of pins at predetermined locations for electrical contact with certain of the preset terminals. One or more power-receiving members, such as a light fixture, can be coupled to respective outer peripheral electrical connection devices for receiving the three or four individual wires of an electrical line from each power-receiving member. The terminals in the box and the electrical connection devices represent an assembly with a quick release fastening capability which adapts the box for connection between a circuit component, such as a switch or an electrical power-receiving member. The electrical components are predetermined as to how they are to be used in a circuit. In this way, the time required to wire a house or building will be reduced and labor costs would be correspondingly lowered. Two or more boxes of the present invention can be ganged to make them suitable for use where, for instance, switches are to be placed side by side to each other, as well as to mount female receptacles adjacent to each other.
