Electrical box support assembly

An electrical box support assembly for mounting an electrical box between a pair of studs comprising:

• a pair of telescoping overlapping struts, wherein each strut has a face to which the electrical box is adapted to be secured;
• and
• a pair of engaging tabs detachably coupled with each end of the pair of telescoping overlapping struts, wherein each of the pair of engaging tabs includes:
• a first engagement member for primarily engaging a closed face of one of the studs,
• a second engagement member facing the first engagement member, the second engagement member for primarily engaging an open face of one of the studs,
• a side engagement member connecting the first and second engagement members together, and
• a first compressible member extending from one of the first engagement member, the second engagement member, or the side engagement member, and wherein a portion of the first compressible member extends in a first direction D1 from the first engagement member towards the second engagement member, wherein the first compressible member is compressible in a second direction D2 opposite that of the first direction D1, wherein the first compressible member includes an indentation extending in the first direction D1 and wherein the first compressible member includes a generally fight angle bend to wrap around at least a portion of a stud.

An electrical box support assembly for mounting an electrical box between a pair of studs comprising:

• a pair of telescoping overlapping struts, each strut including an opening formed at a terminal end and having a face to which the electrical box is adapted to be secured;
• and
• a pair of engaging tabs detachably coupled with each end of the pair of telescoping overlapping struts, wherein each of the pair of engaging tabs includes:
• a first engagement member for primarily engaging a closed face of one of the studs, the first engagement member includes an engagement tongue having a plurality of pairs of notches, and
• a side engagement member connected generally perpendicular with the first engagement member,
• wherein the engagement tongue is positioned in the opening of the strut at one of the plurality of pairs of notches to detachably couple the engaging tab to the strut in order to accommodate electrical boxes of varying depths.
