ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical switch box mounting bracket is formed of a single piece of sheet metal in an L-shape or T-shape with right-angled plate portions at one end, one of which plate portions is adapted to serve as a stiffening arm between the walls. At the opposite end another flat plate portion is adapted to be secured to either another bracket of the same type or of another type in piggyback fashion or to an extension plate in turn secured to a stud. A recessed plate portion between the ends of the bracket provides an opening which registers with and receives either a one ear or two ear type electrical switch box for mounting using bendable tabs forming part of the bracket. An alternative embodiment does not employ the stiffening arm.
