Abstract
A unitary support bracket facilitates secure and efficient support of an electrical box, and one or more associated conduits. The support bracket includes a central portion, and a plurality of leg portions which extend integrally therefrom. Each of the leg portions includes a downwardly deformable distal portion, which in turn each include at least one resiliently deformable tab engageable with a respective one of the conduits. By this arrangement, the efficient support of an electrical box, and one or more associated conduits, can be provided, with minimal assembly of various components required, thus facilitating convenient and efficient installation of the associated electrical system.
Claims7
A support assembly for an electrical box, and one or more associated conduits, comprising:
- a support bracket including unitary support plate comprising a central portion defining at least one aperture, and a plurality of leg portions extending integrally from said central portion, and
- a vertical support element, said central portion of said support bracket defining at least one aperature through which said vertical support element extends,
- each of said leg portions including a horizontal portion extending integrally from said central portion in substantially coplanar relationship therewith, and a deformable distal portion extending from the respective horizontal portion,
- each of said distal portions having an opening defining a plurality of deformable tab elements engageable with respective ones of said conduits extending through the respective opening, each said distal portion being downwardly deformable from the respective horizontal portion to extend downwardly therefrom generally at a right angle.
