The bracket includes a first portion configured to be coupled to an outer surface of the electrical box; and a second portion coupled to the first portion and pivotable relative to the first portion. The second portion includes a leg and a plurality of tabs, and the tabs are pivotable relative to the connecting portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A bracket for supporting an electrical conductor of an electrical box comprising: a first portion configured to be coupled to an outer surface of the electrical box; and a second portion coupled to the first portion and pivotable relative to the first portion, the second portion including a flange, at first leg pivotally connected to the first portion and a second leg pivotally connected to the first portion spaced from the first leg, wherein the flange includes a rectangular support portion extending around an elongated opening and a plurality of tabs moveably connected to the support portion, wherein the tabs are configured to support an electrical conductor. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tabs are connected to an inner edge of the elongated opening and are pivotable relative to the inner edge. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tabs includes a plurality of first tabs, each of the first tabs having a distal end configured to extend at least partially around an outer surface a conductors. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The bracket of claim 3, wherein the plurality of tabs includes a plurality of second tabs, each of the second tabs having a linear shape and positioned between two adjacent first tabs. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tabs includes at least one tab having a T-shape with two ends extending in opposite directions from one another, each of the two ends engaging an outer surface of an associated one of the conductors. ### Claim 6 A bracket for connecting an elongated member to an electrical box comprising: a bracket body having a planar portion; a first finger extending outwardly from the planar portion in a first direction, the first finger including a first c-shaped profile; and a second finger extending outwardly from the planar portion in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second finger including a second c-shaped profile, wherein the bracket body is configured to be secured to a first side of an electrical box, and wherein the first c-shaped profile is configured to extend around a first portion of an elongated member and the second c-shaped profile is configured to extend around a second portion of the elongated member to secure the electrical box to the elongated member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The bracket of claim 6, wherein the elongated member includes a rigid shaft. ### Claim 8 A bracket for connecting an elongated member to an electrical box comprising: a bracket body having a planar portion with a proximal end configured to connect to an electrical box and a distal end spaced from the electrical box, the distal end including a plurality of openings; a flange extending from the distal end of the bracket body; and a clip connected to at least one of the plurality of openings, the clip configured to support a conduit extending into the electrical box. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The bracket of claim 8, wherein the flange includes a first portion extending at an oblique angle to the bracket body and a second portion extending at an oblique angle to the first portion. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The bracket of claim 9, wherein the second portion of the flange extends substantially perpendicular to the planar portion of the bracket body. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The bracket of claim 8, wherein the opening includes a slot for releasably receiving a portion a of the clip. ### Claim 12 An electrical box and support bracket assembly comprising: an electrical box having a rear surface and a plurality of sides defining an interior; a first bracket connected to the electrical box and configured to support a conductor extending into the electrical box, wherein the first bracket includes a first portion secured to the electrical box, a second portion movably connected to the first portion, and a plurality of tabs movably connected to the second portion; and a second bracket connected to the electrical box and configured to support an elongated member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 12, wherein the second bracket includes, a bracket body having a planar portion, a first finger extending outwardly from the planar portion in a first direction, the first finger including a first c-shaped profile, and a second finger extending outwardly from the planar portion in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second finger including a second c-shaped profile, wherein the first c-shaped profile is configured to extend around a first portion of an elongated member and the second c-shaped profile is configured to extend around a second portion of the elongated member to secure the electrical box to the elongated member. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 12, wherein the second bracket includes, a bracket body having a planar portion with a proximal end configured to connect to an electrical box and a distal end spaced from the electrical box, the distal end including a plurality of openings; a flange extending from the distal end of the bracket body; and a clip connected to at least one of the plurality of openings, the clip configured to support a conduit extending into the electrical box. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 14, wherein the flange includes a first portion extending at an oblique angle to the bracket body and a second portion extending at an oblique angle to the first portion. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 15, wherein the second portion of the flange extends substantially perpendicular to the planar portion of the bracket body. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 14, wherein the opening includes a slot for releasably receiving a portion a of the clip. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 12, wherein the second portion of the first bracket includes a flange, a first leg pivotally connected to the first portion and a second leg pivotally connected to the first portion spaced from the first leg, wherein the flange includes a rectangular support portion extending around an elongated opening and a plurality of tabs moveably connected to the support portion, and wherein the tabs are configured to support an electrical conductor. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 12, wherein the first bracket is positioned on a first side of the electrical box and the second bracket is positioned on a second side of the electrical box. ### Claim 20 (depends on 12) The electrical box and support bracket assembly of claim 12, wherein the second bracket is configured to support an elongated member extending substantially perpendicular to the electrical conductor.
