Electrical outlet box

An electrical outlet box for receiving both a high voltage electrical conductor and a low voltage electrical conductor and a low voltage electrical component and a high voltage electrical component comprising:

• a housing having a first section and a second section;
• said first section of said housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a right side wall, a left side wall and a back wall;
• each said side wall of said first section being parallel to each other and attached to said top wall, to said bottom wall and to said back wall to define a first enclosure with an open front wall;
• said second section of said housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a right side wall and a left side wall;
• each said side wall of said second section being parallel to each other and attached to said top wall and to said bottom wall to define a second enclosure with an open back wall and an open front wall;
• said first section of said housing juxtaposed in spaced relationship with respect to said second section;
• a bridge portion;
• said bridge portion being disposed between said first section of said housing and said second section of said housing to define a space therebetween;
• said bridge portion to linearly align said first section with said second section, to separate, to safely shield and to isolate the high voltage electrical conductor and the low voltage electrical conductor and the low voltage electrical component and the high voltage electrical component and to receive a wall board;
• a portion of the wall board fitting between said bridge portion, in the space defined by, said first section and said second section of said housing;
• said bridge portion, said first section and said second section being integral with each other;
• a weak wall portion;
• said weak wall portion disposed in at least one said wall of said first section of said housing with a knock out disposed within said weak wall portion thereof for receiving the high voltage electrical conductor;
• a tab having an opening therein to receive a screw for fastening the high voltage electrical component and the low voltage electrical component to said housing;
• said tab disposed on said housing;
• and means for attaching said electrical cutlet box to a stud.

An electrical outlet box for receiving both a high voltage electrical conductor, and a low voltage electrical conductor, and for receiving a high voltage duplex power receptacle and a low voltage electrical component, and a low voltage telephone electrical component and a cable television electrical component comprising:

• a housing having a first section and a second section;
• said first section of said housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a right side wall, a left side wall and a back wall;
• each said side wall of said first section being parallel to each other and attached to said top wall, to said bottom wall and to said back wall to define a first enclosure with an open front wall;
• said second section of said housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a right side wall and a left side wall;
• each said side wall of said second section being parallel to each other and attached to said top wall and to said bottom wall to define a second enclosure with an open back wall and an open front wall;
• said first section and said second section of said housing, both, being rectangular in shape and each being equal in width and in height;
• said first section of said housing juxtaposed in spaced relationship second section;
• a tab having an opening therein to receive a screw for fastening the high voltage duplex power receptacle and the low voltage telephone electrical component and the cable television electrical component, to said housing;
• said tab being disposed on said top wall and on said bottom wall of both said first section and said second section of said housing;
• a bridge portion;
• said bridge portion being disposed between said first section of said housing and said second and section of said housing to define a space therebetween;
• said bridge portion to linearly align said first section with said second section, to separate, to safely shield and to isolate the high voltage electrical conductor and the low voltage electrical conductor and the low voltage electrical component and the high voltage electrical component and to receive a wall board;
• a portion of the wall board fitting between said bridge portion, in the space defined by, said first section and said second section of said housing;
• said bridge portion being sufficient in width to define the space therebetween said first section of said housing and said second section of said housing so that a first standard cover plate, for the high voltage electrical duplex power receptacle, may be removably attachably received on said tab on said first section of said housing and secured thereto with the screw, and a second standard cover plate, for the low voltage telephone electrical component and for the cable television electrical component, may be removably attachably received on said tab on said second section of said housing, without interference, and secured thereto with the screw, and with sufficient clearance, so that the portion of the wall board fitting between, in the space defined by, said first section and said second section of said housing, in close proximity to said bridge portion, is visible when installation of said electrical outlet box on the stud is complete thereby providing an aesthetically pleasing and functional installation;
• said bridge portion, said first section and said second section being integral with each other;
• a weak wall portion;
• said weak wall portion disposed in said top wall and in said bottom wall of said first section of said housing, each said wall of said first section, having a plurality of knock outs disposed within said weak wall portion thereof for receiving the high voltage electrical conductor;
• said bottom wall and said top wall of said second section, each said wall of said second section, having a plurality of holes disposed therein for receiving the low voltage electrical conductor, and the low voltage telephone electrical component and the cable television electrical component;
• and a boss disposed on said top wall and on said bottom wall of said first section of said housing;
• said boss having an opening therein for receiving a fastener for attaching said electrical outlet box to the stud prior to installation of the wall board.
