## Abstract

A wall cavity electrical cupboard system is provided for allowing flush mounting with ready electrical access wiring that is received through holes of the cavity container and can feed along the circumferential channel and into holes of the template openings and can be connected to control means in the electrical mounting module mounted on the support brackets such as fuses, surge protectors, short circuit protection cutoffs etc. Only the front switches or indicators appear through cut outs. The channel and the template openings provide a benefit that the wiring therefore can be selectively moved around and readily connected without needing to line up the holes of the cavity container and the electrical container and with adjustability and safety of placing wiring connection behind the sealing protector plate covering the opening except for what is allowable to show through the cutouts and be mounted on the support brackets.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wall cavity electrical cupboard system for allowing flush mounting with ready electrical access comprising:
a base mounting module including a cavity container having a flat rear wall and circumferential side walls with a front opening and side mounting flaps integral with and extending at right angles outwardly from the top of the side walls to allow mountable attachment of the base mounting module substantially flush to and between a set of parallel spaced studs and allowing mounting of plaster board or sheeting thereover to cause flush fitting;
an electrical mounting module including an electrical container having a rear wall and circumferential side walls with at least one front opening for holding a plurality of electrical fittings including switches and fuses, and the electrical container being mountable in the cavity container and sized to allow circumferential spacing forming a circumferential channel between the electrical container and the side walls of the cavity container and not extending proud of the circumferential side walls of the cavity container;
wherein the cavity container has access holes in opposite side walls of the cavity container for providing wiring to be connected to the electrical mounting module from within the cavity wall;
wherein the electrical container has access holes in one or more of the side walls of the electrical container aligned with the access holes in the cavity container for providing wiring to be connected to the electrical mounting module from within the cavity wall; and
a door mounted to the base mounting module adapted to be received within the circumferential channel for closing the front opening and being substantially flush to the wall.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 1 further comprising a closing module having a hinge connection mountable in one side of the circumferential channel for receiving and holding the door at one end and a latching means in the opposing side of the circumferential channel of the door at the distal end for latching the door closed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 2 wherein the latching means is a magnetic module allowing for flush mounting without external openings.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 1 wherein the wall cavity electrical cupboard system includes a finishing module attachable to the cavity container to allow a wet finishing.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 4 wherein the finishing module of the wall cavity electrical cupboard system includes a plurality of elongated walls with a top continuous beading wherein the elongated walls are attachable to the inside of the circumferential side walls of the cavity container for allowing plaster and wet plaster filling to be fixed up to the beading and allow flush finishing.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 1 wherein the wall cavity electrical cupboard system includes a finishing module attachable to the cavity container to allow a dry finishing.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 6 wherein the finishing module of the wall cavity electrical cupboard system includes a plurality of elongated walls with a top outwardly extending overhang wherein the elongated walls are attachable to the inside of the circumferential side walls of the cavity container for allowing plaster and to be fixed up under the overhang and allow flush finishing.

### Claim 8

A method of forming a wall cavity electrical cupboard system for allowing flush mounting with ready electrical access including the steps of:
providing a base mounting module including a cavity container having a flat rear wall and circumferential side walls with a front opening and side mounting flaps integral with and extending at right angles outwardly from the top of the side walls to allow mountable attachment of the base mounting module substantially flush to and between a set of parallel spaced studs and allowing mounting of plaster board or sheeting thereover to cause flush fitting;
mounting an electrical mounting module including an electrical container having a rear wall and circumferential side walls with at least one front opening for holding a plurality of electrical fittings including switches and fuses, sized smaller than the cavity container, into the cavity container allowing circumferential spacing forming a circumferential channel between the electrical container and the side walls of the cavity container and not extending proud of the circumferential side walls of the cavity container;
mounting a door to the base mounting module with a hinge connection mountable in one side of the circumferential channel for receiving and holding the door at one end and a latch means in the opposing side of the circumferential channel of the door at the distal end for latching the door closed and being substantially flush to the wall; and
providing a finishing module allowing a wet flush mounting by:
connecting a plurality of elongated walls with a top continuous beading wherein the elongated walls are attachable to the inside of the circumferential side walls of the cavity container for allowing plaster and wet plaster filling to be fixed up to the beading and allow flush finishing.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of forming a wall cavity electrical cupboard system of claim 8 further comprising providing a finishing module allowing a wet flush mounting by:
a plurality of elongated walls with a top outwardly extending overhang wherein the elongated walls are attachable to the inside of the circumferential side walls of the cavity container for allowing plaster and to be fixed up under the overhang and allow flush finishing.
