Abstract
An installation system for wiring of a building has at least one junction boxes connected together, with each junction box having a removable plug-in block disposed at the back thereof. The plug-in block has conductors therein with sockets for providing access to the conductors, so that essentially all of the necessary electrical connections needed for wiring the building can, by means of the sockets and corresponding plugs on the power lines and electrical accessories, be made by simply plugging together the plugs and the sockets.
Claims19
An electrical junction box system for a building, the junction box system for containing an electrical connection for transmitting power from an electric power line to at least one electrical device, the at least one electrical device having at least two conductors for receiving power, said electrical junction box system comprising:
- at least one junction box, said at least one junction box having aback portion and at least an openable front portion, the front portion defining a cavity therein, the cavity being configured for receipt of the at least one electrical device through said front portion;
- means for conducting electricity from at least a first position within said at least one junction box to a second position within said at least one junction box;
- said back portion of said at least one junction box comprising means for receiving and retaining said means for conducting electricity, said means for receiving and retaining being integral with said back portion of said junction box;
- said means for conducting electricity being configured for being inserted into and removed from said means for receiving and retaining;
- said means for conducting electricity comprising means for being received by said means for receiving and retaining;
- said means for conducting electricity comprising at least two separate conductors, said at least two separate conductors being insulated from one another;
- means for slidably plugging together said at least two separate conductors of said means for conducting electricity with said at least two conductors of said electrical device upon insertion of said electrical device into said first portion of said at least one junction box and slidably unplugging said at least two separate conductors from said at least two conductors of said electrical device upon removal of said electrical device out of said first portion of said at least one junction box;
- means for fastening said at least one junction box to a structural element of a building;
- said means for receiving and retaining comprises means for positioning said means for conducting in at least three stationary positions within the at least one junction box;
- said means for positioning comprise slot means;
- and
- said means for being received of said means for conducting comprise projections configured to substantially correspond to said slot means.
An electrical junction box system for a building, the junction box system for containing an electrical connection for transmitting power from an electric power line to at least one electrical device, the at least one electrical device being configured to be inserted into and removed from the junction box system, the at least one electrical device having at least two conductors for receiving power, said electrical junction box system comprising:
- at least two junction boxes integrally joined together at side portions thereof, each of said at least two junction boxes having a back portion and an at least openable front portion, the front portion defining a cavity therein, the cavity being configured for receipt of the at least one electrical device;
- at least one of said at least two junction boxes comprising means for fastening said at least two junction boxes to a structural element of a building;
- each of said at least two junction boxes comprising means for conducting electricity from at least a first position within each of said at least two junction boxes to a second position within each of said at least two junction boxes;
- at least one of said portions of each of said at least two junction boxes comprising means for receiving and retaining said means for conducting electricity, said means for receiving and retaining being integral with said back portion of said junction box;
- said means for conducting electricity comprising at least two separate conductors, said at least two separate conductors being insulated from one another;
- means for connecting at least a portion of said at least two separate conductors of said means for conducting to said at least two conductors of said electrical device;
- and
- jumper means for being disposed across said connected side portions of said at least two junction boxes, said jumper means comprising:
- at least two conductors;
- means for integrally connecting said at least two conductors of said jumper means and insulating said at least two conductors from one another;
- and
- means for slidably plugging together said at least two conductors of said jumper means with said at least two separate conductors of a first of said at least two junction boxes and said at least two separate conductors of at least one other of said at least two junction boxes to electrically connect said at least two separate conductors of said first of said at least two junction boxes and said at least two separate conductors of said at least one other of said at least two junction boxes, and slidably unplugging said at least two conductors of said jumper means from said at least two separate conductors of said first of said at least two junction boxes and said at least two separate conductors of said at least one other of said at least two junction boxes to electrically disconnect said at least two separate conductors of said first of said at least two junction boxes from said at least two separate conductors of said at least one other of said at least two junction boxes.
