Electrical junction box for support of a hanging appliance

An electrical junction box assembly for supporting from the underside thereof a bracket for a hanging load, said assembly including a junction box having a base plate and a peripheral sidewall extending downwardly therefrom, said base plate and sidewall together forming a junction box cavity open at its lower end and closed at its upper end by said base plate,

• said base plate defining a pair of base plate bolt holes at substantially opposite positions on said base plate and adjacent said sidewall;
• said sidewall including a pair of integral tabs extending transversely inwardly of said cavity adjacent the lower end thereof, and each defining a tab bolt hole in alignment with one of said base plate bolt holes;
• said sidewall further defining a plurality of mounting holes for side mounting of said junction box to a supporting structure;
• a bolt having a shank portion extending downwardly and slidably through each of said base plate bolt holes and the tab bolt hole aligned therewith, and having a head portion engaged with the upper surface of said base plate,
• a nut threadably engaged with the lower end of each of said bolts for supporting said bracket from the underside of said box, and
• a spacer sleeve surrounding each of said bolts between said base plate and said tabs, respectively.

• said base plate defining a pair of base [palte] plate bolt holes at substantially opposite positions on said base plate and adjacent said sidewall,
• a pair of bolts each having a shank portion extending downwardly and slidably adjacent its upper end through one of said base plate bolt holes, and slidably adjacent its lower end through a registering opening in said bracket,
• a nut threadably engaged with the lower end of each of said bolts beneath said bracket for supporting said bracket from the underside of said box, and
• a spacer sleeve surrounding each of said bolts between said base plate and said bracket.
