JAMES H. WYATT AND HARRY CLIFFORD CAMPION, J 11., 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENN- SYLVANIA, ASSIGNORS TO THE CUTTER 'ELEGTRICAL AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
OUTLET-BOX CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 15, 1912.
' Application filed August 28, 1911. Serial No. 645,572.
State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Outlet- Box Construction, of which. the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to the construction of outlet boxes or switch boxes such as used in the electric wiring of buildings, etc., such outlet boxes or switch boxes being adapted to form an inclosure within a wall, partition, or the like, for an electric switch or other electrical apparatus.
Our invention resides in a construction of the nature above referred. to, in which the three-sided or U element of an individual box has secured thereto the end plates by a locking connection on one end of such end plate, and a screw or rivet connection on the other end thereof.
Our invention resides also in a construction in which a gang or bank of boxes may easily be constructed and comprising any suitable number of individual boxes by employing between neighboring U-sections a partition plate which, at each end, is locked to one U and screwed or riveted to the neigh-' boring U. Our construction of a gang or bank is such that the neighboring Us are not connected to each other directly, but are attached or secured to the partition plates.
Our invention resides in the features hereinafter described and claimed.
For an illustration of some of the forms vation of the same. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a U-section. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of an end plate used for either an individual box or a'bank or gang of boxes. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of a partition plate used in the formation of a gang or bank .of boxes. Fig. 7 'is an end elevation of a partition plate, such as shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a top plan view of a partition'plate with modified form of attaching means. Fig. 9'is an end elevational view of the partition plate shown 1n Fig. 8.
As illustrated in Fig. 4, a U-section comprises the member having the bottom 1 and sides 2 and 3, which may be made of sheet metal integral with each other or of any other suitable material connected in any suitable manner. same for both individual boxes or for a gang or'bank of boxes. On the top edge of the sides 2 and 3 are provided ears t having perforations 5 for the passage of screws or other means for securing to these cars 4 the switch mechanism or other electrical device which is to be inclosed in the box. Holes 6 are provided to receive screws 7,
sce Fig. 1, by which the members 8 are attached to the box, these members Shaving the parts 9 slotted at 10 and held by the screws 7 to the outer sides of the U-section. The slots 10. are provided so as to allow relative adjustment between the parts. 8 and the boxes, the parts 8 being provided with holes 1.1 by which the boxes are secured to their support in a wall or other suitable relation. When an individual box is to be formed from a U-section, two end plates: are secured thereon. These end plates are shown at 12, in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive. This end plate is provided on one of its side edges with an ear 13 perforated to receive a screw 14 which threads into a hole 15 in the U-section, the ear 13 extending at right angles to the plane of the endplate 12 and extending around the edge of the U-section, as shown in Fig. 1. At its other side edge the end plate 12 is provided with the hook member 16 having the portion 17 extending at right angles to the plane of the plate 12 and the. end portion 18 com-' pleting the hook and extending backwardly parallel to the plane of the plate 12. 3 This hook 16 is inserted through the slot 19 in the opposite side of the U-section from that provided with the hole 15 for receiving the screw 14. In attaching the endplate to the U-section the hook 16 is first inserted through slot 19 in the U-section, and the lug 20, struck up from the end plate 12 at a considerable distance above or below the hook 16, is brought against the inner side of the side member 2 of the U-section as shown in Fig. 4. The lug 20, as seen more clearly These U-sections are thein Fig. 7, is at a distance from the hook 16 but near the same edge of the plate 21 or plate 12. In entering the hook 16 into the slot 19 the plates 12 and 21 do not have their edges registering as in their final positions, but the plates 12 and 21 when first brought together with the part 18 in the slot 19 are in such position that the lug 20 is at some distance from the wall 2; then the plate 12 or 21 is rotated until the lug 20 comes to the final position shown. Then, the ear 13 with its perforationregisters with the screw hole 15 on the other side of the U-section, whereupon the screw 14 is put in place and the ear 13 drawn up against the side of the U. With the parts in this position, with the use of only the onescrew, the hook 16 and the lug 20 lock the other edge of the end plate firmly in position. Another end plate is then attached in like manner to the other end of the U-section, thus forming a complete individual box. Inasmuch as the U- sect-ions are also to be used for the production of gangs or banks of boxes, there is on each side of the U one screw hole 15 and one slot 19, all theslots 19 being at the samestandard U-sections of suitable number are employed and a partition plat-e used between neighboring U-sectiens and. an end plate applied on each end of the gang or bank.
The partition plate is shown at 21in Figs. 1, 3, 6 and 7 A single partition plate 21 is employed between neighboring U-sections and the U-seetions are not connected to each other but are connected to the partition plate by means similar to that by which the end plate is secur d to a U-section. The partition plate 21 has at each edge a hook 16 and an ear 13. But the hooks 16 are disposed on opposite sides of the plate 21 and the ears 13 at the two edges are similarly disposed upon opposite sides of the plate 21, as seen from Fig.6. Similarly, the plate 21 is provided with a lug 20, near each hook, and they. are, therefore, also on opposite sides of the plate 21. The partition plate is attached to one U-section by first hooking the hook 16 into a slot 19 in the U-section and then securing the ear 13 on the opposite edge of the partition plate to the same U-section by a screw 14. The second U-section isthen attached to the same partition plate 2lby first hooking the other book 16 at the other end of the plate into a slot 19 in the second U-section, and then securing the secondear 13 to the second U section by a screw 14. Here, again, the lugs 20 keep the hook end of the partition plate locked to the U-sect-ion, the partition plate being held firmly in place withrespect to either U by the use of one screw only when a hook and lug as 16 and 20 are employed. The partition plates may have, preferably near their bottoms, the perforations 22, so that the service wires may enter in one box and be extended through the perforations 22 in the partition plates to connect to the switches or other devices in the other boxes of the gang or bank. The U- sections also have perforations 23, either in their bottoms or sides, or both, or these may be simply knock-out holes such as are commonly provided in junction boxes, out-let boxes, or the like.
In Figs. 8 and 9 a modified form of partition or end plate is illustrated. Here, the lug 20 is omitted, but the hook 16 has not only the portions 17 and 18, of Figs. 5 and 6, but has also the upwardly turned portion 24 which takes the place of the lug 20 of Figs. 5 and 6. In this case, the end- 24 is inserted through a slot 19 in the -U-section and the partition plate 21, of Figs. 8 and 9, having such modified hook, is rotated with respect to the U-section until the part 24 extends upwardly inside of the U-section above the end of the slot 19, the part 18 being in theslot 19 and the part 17 lying along the side of the U-section. When this construction is used for an end plate, the arrangement is the same as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, except that onlyone hook and one ear on opposite edges of the plate are employed.
