An electrical device mounting assembly adapted for mounting of power and low voltage components in a shallow wall cavity to supply a television or similar electronic device. The mounting assembly recesses all high and low voltage components behind the wall surface to render them unobtrusive and out of the way. The mounting assembly includes a mounting frame with a peripheral flange, sidewalls, and a rear wall. A corner of the mounting frame is adapted to mount a duplex receptacle at an oblique angle with respect to the sidewalls. The mounting frame includes cable tie-offs for routing cables and at least one low voltage mount for the mounting of low voltage components. The mounting assembly enables consolidation of all power and signal hookups for TV or home entertainment systems in a single assembly that is recessed within the wall and allows flush wall mounting of a flat panel TV.

A support for mounting an electrical box relative to a stud can include a support arm and an attachment feature, with the attachment feature configured to secure the support arm to the stud, and the support arm configured to support the electrical box. The attachment feature can include an attachment section that has a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the attachment section can support the support arm at a first depth relative to the stud. In the second configuration, the attachment section can be configured to be folded over itself to support the support arm at a second, smaller, depth relative to the stud.

A lighting-junction-box-assembly-for-remodel (hereinafter, “assembly”) has a lighting-junction-box, leg-springs attached to the lighting-junction-box, and mounting-tabs attached to the lighting-junction-box. The leg-springs are used to (temporarily) hold (by friction) the assembly within a hole in an existing ceiling, sized to fit the assembly. While the leg-springs are (temporarily) holding the assembly within the hole in the existing ceiling, other/different holes within extension-portions of the mounting-tabs are used to secure the entire assembly to the existing ceiling, via mechanical fasteners passing through the extension-portion holes and into the existing ceiling. An existing ceiling may be retrofitted with this assembly to have a lighting-junction-box where desired/needed in that existing ceiling; and as such, this assembly is particularly useful in remodeling situations (applications); however, the assembly may also be used in new construction.

A bracket mountable electrical box having a mounting assembly or device that can secure the electrical box to a mounting bracket. The mounting assembly or device can include one more arms that can define at least a portion of a channel that can receive the mounting bracket. The channel can be selectively closed, or at least partially deformable, in a manner that can assist in retaining the engagement between the mounting bracket and the mounting assembly or device, and thus the electrical box. Such configurations can accommodate securing the electrical box to the mounting bracket without at least the use of additional tools.

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.

A media appliance and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a housing is adapted to be mounted within a wall. A panel forms a front portion of the housing and the panel includes vents and the panel may be mounted substantially flush with the wall. A media player, which includes a set-top box, is disposed within the housing. A pair of ports, disposed within openings defined by the housing, are configured to receive respective connectors. The pair of ports are coupled to the media player and one port is configured for providing a connection to a television and the other port is configured for providing a connection to an external source of signal for the television, as well as power for the media player.

An electrical installation housing has a top wall, a left side wall, the right side wall, a bottom wall, a rear wall, and a rear beveled wall. A first mounting flange extends from the right side wall. The first mounting flange includes a first mounting flange hole. A second mounting flange extends from the right side wall. The second mounting flange includes a second mounting flange hole. A third mounting flange extends from the left side wall. The third mounting flange includes a third mounting flange hole. A fourth mounting flange extends from the left side wall. The fourth mounting flange includes a fourth mounting flange hole.

A mounting device includes a panel portion, and a fastener receiving structure provided within a perimeter of the panel portion. The fastener receiving structure can include an aperture to receive an insertive fastener, and a flexure mechanism to enable at least a portion of the fastener receiving structure that includes the aperture to flex with insertion of the fastener in the aperture that attaches the panel portion against an underlying surface.

A split-type in-wall smart switch module comprises a switching signal generation unit, a mechanical switch, a switching signal receiving and processing unit, a wireless module unit, a switching unit and a load, wherein the switching signal generation unit is connected to a live wire in mains electricity, the mechanical switch and the switching signal receiving and processing unit, respectively; the switching signal receiving and processing unit is also connected to the wireless module unit and a neutral wire in mains electricity respectively; the other end of the wireless module unit is connected to the switching unit; the other end of the switching unit is connected to the load; and the other end of the load is connected to the neutral wire in mains electricity. The switch can realize the control of turning-on and turning-off by means of a switch panel.

A wall-mounted assembly may include one or more host devices which receive line voltage and generate low voltage power on one or more contacts for powering one or more modular devices. The one or more modular devices may be installed adjacent to the host device and may share a faceplate with the host device, such as a standard decorator faceplate. The modular devices may receive power from the host device via a power bus between the host device and the one or more modular devices. Further, the power bus may include a communication bus for communication between the host device and the modular devices. The faceplate may be a smart faceplate, which may include circuitry, such as a battery backup, occupancy sensing, a charging dock for a mobile phone, etc.
