Abstract
The exhibition hall electrical floor box includes a housing having a plurality of chambers therein. Each chamber accommodates a particular type or types of electrical connection therein. Chambers adapted to engage a cylinder type connector therein each have a fitting therein positioned in such a manner as to cause the connector to lie diagonally across corners of the chamber horizontally as well as vertically to produce a box having a significantly decreased height, such decreased height requiring significantly less concrete to be poured to create a flush mounting of the box within the floor.

An exhibition hall floor electrical box comprising a housing in the form of a short rectangular box having a base mounting flange about a bottom surface thereof, said housing being divided into a plurality of adjacent chambers and having passages therein through which cable, passed through conduit engaged to said box, may extend into appropriate ones of said chambers, at least one of said chambers being adapted to engage a cylinder type connector via a fitting which is provided in a bottom corner of said chamber and is angled relative to the corner in such a manner as to cause the cylinder type connector to lie across opposite corners of the chamber at an angle in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
A compartmented exhibition hall floor electrical box comprising a housing in the form of a short rectangular box having a base mounting flange about a bottom surface thereof, said housing being divided into a plurality of adjacent chambers and having passages therein through which cable, passed through conduit engaged to said box, may extend into appropriate ones of said chambers, at least one of said chambers being adapted to engage a cylinder type connector via a fitting which is provided in a bottom corner of said chamber and is angled relative to the corner in such a manner as to cause the cylinder type connector to lie across opposite corners of the chamber at an angle in both the horizontal and vertical planes and further having at least one chamber divided into subchambers by the provision of an isolating wall therein extending across the chamber.
An exhibition hall floor electrical box comprising a housing in the form of a rectangular box having a reduced vertical profile, the rectangular box having a base mounting flange about a bottom surface thereof, said housing being divided into a plurality of adjacent chambers and having passages therein through which cable, passed through conduit engaged to said box, may extend into appropriate ones of said chambers, at least one of said chambers being adapted to house a cylinder type connector which is provided in an associated immediately adjacent end of said chamber and is angled relative to the end in such a manner as to cause the cylinder type connector to lie at an angle away from the associated immediately adjacent end of said chamber, the chamber to house a cylinder type connector having an upwardly angled connector wall on which a cylinder type connector can be mounted to extend in an upwardly angled direction towards an opposite end of the chamber associated therewith.
In combination, an exhibition hall floor electrical box, and an electrical fitting for mounting in the box having wiring attached thereto, the electrical box comprising a housing in the form of a rectangular box having a reduced vertical profile, the rectangular box having a base mounting flange about a bottom surface thereof, said housing being divided into a plurality of adjacent chambers and having passages therein through which cable, passed through conduit engaged to said box, may extend into appropriate ones of said chambers, the chamber to house a cylinder type connector having an upwardly angled connector wall on which a cylinder type connector can be mounted to extend in an upwardly angled direction towards an opposite end of the chamber associated therewith, said chambers each being adapted to house a cylinder type connector which connector is mounted on said upwardly angled connector wall at one end of said chamber associated therewith, said connector being angled relative to the end in such a manner as to cause the cylinder type connector to lie at an angle extending upwardly and away from the associated mounting flange disposed at the adjacent end of said chamber.
In combination, an exhibition hall floor electrical box, and an electrical fitting for mounting in the box having wiring attached thereto, the electrical box comprising a housing in the form of a rectangular box having a reduced vertical profile, the rectangular box having a base mounting flange about a bottom surface thereof, said housing being divided into a plurality of adjacent chambers and having passages therein through which cable, passed through conduit engaged to said box, may extend into appropriate ones of said chambers, at least a side by side pair of said chambers each being adapted to house a cylinder type connector, the side by side pair of the chambers each having an upwardly angled connector wall at one end of the chamber, said cylinder type connectors each being mounted on an associated one of the upwardly angled connector walls causing the cylinder type connector to extend in an upwardly angled direction towards an opposite end of the chamber associated therewith, the upwardly angled connector walls in the adjacent side-by-side chambers being located at an opposite end of the chambers thus enabling the upwardly angled connectors in side-by-side chambers to extend in opposite directions relative to one another when mounted in their respective chambers on said upwardly angled connector walls.
