ABSTRACT:
A universal mounting stake assembly for installing one or more electrical junction boxes, terminal boxes, or Subscriber Network Interfaces (SNI's). The assembly comprises a specially configured ground engaging stake, an appropriately configured receiving plate adapted to be coupled to the stake, and an optional driving cap. The stake includes a plurality of regularly spaced apart plate receptive notches, a service wire receptive channel longitudinally coextensive with its length, and a plurality of regularly spaced apart stud receptive fastener orifices for locating a stud which will secure the plate after installation. The plate comprises a variety of adaptably configured orifices enabling a variety of SNI or similar devices to be easily affixed thereto. The receiving plate is attached to the stake by fitting its tabbed, flanged end to an appropriate user selected pair of stake notches. The plate has a plurality of regularly spaced apart keyed slots that mate with at least one stake fastener stud when the tabbed plate end is fitted to the appropriate stake notches. The optional driving cap comprises a rigid hollow base adapted to receive the top of the stake, and a flat striking surface for hammer actuation. The hollow base, preferably of a triangular cross section, includes an internal guide cylinder to a quickly mate the cap with the stake geometry. The stake is prevented from being inadvertently withdrawn from the ground by a pair of anti-pullout barbs.
