Abstract
A bracket for supporting a device having an electrical plug integrated with or attached to the body of the device comprises a back plate, a band extending from one side of the back plate to an opposing side, a tab that extends downward, and an opening in the tab for receiving a screw or other fastener. The back plate further comprises an indentation that opens upward to receive the plug. With the body of the device between the back plate and the band, and the plug received within the indentation, a screw inserted through the opening attaches the bracket to an electrical outlet wall plate with the plug inserted into the electrical outlet, thereby restraining the body, and preventing the device from being inadvertently dislodged.
