An electrical box assembly for mounting an electrical component in a countertop. The assembly includes an electrical box with an enclosure adapted to receive electrical wiring. A sidewall on the electrical box includes one or more channels each including a channel bottom, a ramp, and a channel cover with a slot. A mounting bracket includes a base and two arm members and is loosely assembled to the electrical box with the mounting fasteners. A cover bracket is secured in each of the slots. A cover provides access to the electrical component and includes a cover plate, a cavity for housing an electrical component, and a snap-engagement latch for selectively latching the electrical component outward of the cover plate or inward within the electrical box enclosure. Installation time and effort are minimized as site preparation requires only a single hole that may be made with a standard size hole-saw.

Concealable apparatus assembly

The present invention relates to a concealable apparatus assembly, comprising a support structure (5) supporting an apparatus (M) and rotatably receivable in an opening (1a) of a board or of a plate (1) so that the apparatus (M) is accessible through said opening (1a) from a first major surface of the board or plate (1) at a first angular position adopted by said support structure (5), and concealed for other angular positions adopted thereby, the support structure (5) having or supporting a flat surface (2) which remains flush with said first major surface of the board or plate (1) at a second angular position adopted by said support structure (5). The support structure (5) is also linearly receivable in said opening (1a) so that it can move linearly according to an approaching/distancing direction with respect to the board or plate (1).

Quick Assembly Desk

A desk has legs at or near opposite lateral sides of the desk, feet, each mounted to a lower end of one of the legs and projecting from the leg to which it is mounted in at least a forward or rearward direction, a profile extending from one of the legs to the opposite one of the legs and mounted to upper end portions of the legs; and a desktop panel supported by the profile. The legs are coupled to the profile by twist lock connections. The twist lock connections are each locked or lockable against axial dislodgement by twisting of at least an end part of the leg relative to the profile about a center line of the leg. The profile projects from the legs in the rearward direction more than in the forward direction. A rearwardly projecting portion of the profile supporting the panel from below.
