A box support as set forth in claim 3 including means to secure a box to said gusset so that the top or bottom of the box is adjacent the horizontal leg, whereby if a conduit extends from said box through said knock-out, a conduit fitting for said conduit clamps said horizontal leg to the box.ĥ. A box support as set forth in claim 2 including a U-shape knock-out in said horizontal leg opposite said stiffening flange.Ĥ. A box support as set forth in claim 1 including a vertically extending stiffening flange on one side of said horizontal leg toward the stud.ģ. A box support for stud wall construction comprising a vertical leg having a front panel adapted to be secured to the face of the stud, and a horizontal leg extending rearwardly from the top of the front panel of the vertical leg, along the side of the stud, said horizontal leg being offset from the vertical leg and joined thereto by a gusset, means to secure an electrical outlet box and the like to the gusset, and means to field form flanges at different locations on the end of said horizontal leg whereby the box support will fit studs of different depths.Ģ.
#Offset plaster ring series
The horizontal arm also has a series of pairs of short transverse slots which enable the distal end of the leg to be field bent to form a downturned flange at three different locations corresponding to the depth of a stud.ġ. If such knock-out is employed, then the fitting used for the electrical conduit will clamp the horizontal leg to the box improving rigidity. The knock-out would normally block one of the knock-outs in the box.
The horizontal leg or arm includes an interior stiffening flange and an exterior U-shape knock-out opposite the flange. The vertical leg includes two spaced edge tabs or flanges between which a vertical edge of the box is grasped. The horizontal and vertical legs are offset and the vertical leg is provided with a 45° gusset or panel which includes a keyhole opening and a slot, to each of which a different size box and plaster ring may be mounted. A box bracket for stud wall construction is formed from a single sheet metal strap which has one major transverse right angle bend forming a vertical leg and a horizontal leg or arm with the vertical leg having a vertical offset overlapping the face of the stud while the horizontal arm extends in a horizontal plane over the top or bottom of the box and abuts the far wall panel.
