Abstract

An electrical device mounting assembly for flush wall mounting of an electronic device that requires both power and low voltage connections. The assembly enables recessed mounting of all electrical components, wiring, cabling, and plug ends of electrical cords behind the wall surface. The mounting assembly includes a mounting frame, a trim plate, and rotatable clamp arms to enable rapid mounting to a wall. The mounting assembly enables mounting of either a high voltage or low voltage mounting plates at an angle with respect to the wall surface, thereby minimizing the depth of the mounting frame while providing a substantial enclosure for recessing plug ends of electrical cords and low voltage cables. The mounting assembly enables consolidation of power and signal hookups for a TV, home entertainment system, or similar electronic device in a single assembly that is recessed within the wall.

Dependent claims

An electrical device mounting assembly adapted for the mounting of multiple low and high voltage components in a single enclosure, said mounting assembly comprising:

a mounting frame including side walls and end walls having a front face, and a back wall defining an enclosure therein;
said mounting frame including a mounting arrangement for securing said mounting frame to a wall;
a mounting device for securing an electrical component within said enclosure;
an attachment arrangement for securing said mounting device within said enclosure;
said mounting frame includes a brace extending from said side walls into said enclosure of said mounting frame;
said brace positioning said mounting device at said back wall of said mounting frame and away from said end walls of said mounting frame;
said mounting device is selected from the group including a low voltage mounting plate and a high voltage box;
and
said mounting device including a first frame with a first lip extending there from, a second frame with a second lip extending there from, and an arm extending from said second lip, said first lip of said mounting device is at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to said first frame, and said second lip is at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to said second frame.
