GROOVE INDICATED JUNCTION BOX
In an example embodiment, a junction box may include a flashing. The flashing may define a first groove. The first groove may be disposed relative to a first center axis on a first plane. The junction box may also include a housing. The housing may include a bottom portion. The bottom portion may define a second groove. The second groove may be disposed relative to a second center axis. The second center axis may be coincident with the first center axis in a direction that is substantially parallel to the first plane of the first groove. In addition, the second groove may be located on a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane of the first groove. Further, the second groove may be configured to indicate a suitable hole position in the bottom portion.
Wall Box Providing Adjustable Support for a Control Device
A wall box may provide adjustable support for a control device, such as a keypad, to allow for level alignment of the control device when mounted to the wall box. The wall box may have an adjustable support frame to which the control device may be mounted. When the control device is mounted to the support frame of the wall box, the support frame may be rotated to adjust the alignment of the control device. In addition, the wall box may comprise one or more projections configured to be received in respective detents in notched surfaces of the control device to allow for adjustment of the alignment of the control device. Further, the wall box may have a modular assembly and may be constructed from a central portion and two side portions at the time of installation of the wall box.

Member junction structure and electric junction box
A member junction structure includes a first member provided with a first press-fitting portion and a second press-fitting portion, and a second member provided with a first press-fitted portion and a second press-fitted portion and configured to be installed on the first member by moving in a first direction which is a predetermined one direction with respect to the first member. In a state where the second member is halfway to be installed on the first member, the first press-fitting portion is inserted into the second press-fitted portion, thereby providing a guide for installing the second member on the first member. In a state where the second member is completely installed on the first member, the first press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the first press-fitted portion, and the second press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the second press-fitted portion.

ELECTRIC JUNCTION BOX ASSEMBLY WITH REMOVABLE COVER
An electric junction box assembly includes a case, a housing and a cover. A housing is disposed on an outer surface of the case. The housing includes a back wall and a pair of supports disposed on the back wall. The supports are spaced apart from each other and each support includes an upper support member and a lower support member spaced apart from each other so as to define an opening. The upper support member has an arcuate inner surface and the lower support member has an arcuate inner surface each having a radius greater than the opening. The cover includes an axial rod having a thickness smaller than a height of the opening and a width greater than the height of the opening, wherein a rotation of the axial rod prevents the cover from being dislodged from the opening.

Power adapter configured to apply power to a device
A power adapter configured to apply power to a device is disclosed. The power adapter comprises a switching module having a recess comprising a first set of contacts for receiving control signals, wherein the switching module comprises a switch for selectively applying power to a device based upon the control signals; and a control module removably coupled to the switching module and having a second set of contacts coupled to the first set of contacts of the switching module when the control module is attached to the switching module; wherein the switching module comprises a user interface element.
Power Sharing Device
A power sharing device allows a single high voltage electric socket to be shared with one or more appliances and an EV charger. The device can be easily installed and used without updating the electric circuit of the dwelling. The device senses the load of the appliance socket(s) and automatically disconnects the EV charger socket if significant current is being drawn by the appliance(s). The device may also include a circuit breaker to prevent current overload of the electric circuit. These and other features of the device provide improved safety relative to existing solutions.
