This invention relates to an Electrical Junction Box with an external Built-in Fitting and clamp for securing armored metal cable to the Electrical Junction Box. The Built-in Fitting is extruded from a side wall of the Electrical Junction Box and has at least one pry-out for receiving an armored metal cable. A clamp is attached to the Built-in Fitting with threaded fasteners. As the threaded fasteners are tightened, the armored metal cable is clamped in the opening of the side wall of the Built-in Fitting.

Electrical junction box with a built-in fitting insert

A motion detector comprises a housing having a front side and a back side. Conductors are disposed on the back side so as to electrically connect to a wiring module installed within an electrical box. An infrared (IR) sensor is mounted within the housing and configured to receive IR radiation focused from a lens disposed on the front side. The IR sensor generates a sensor signal in response to motion across the field-of-view of the lens. A controller is responsive to the sensor signal so as to generate a switch signal. A relay is responsive to the switch signal so as to switch an electrical power source connecting to an electrical power load via the conductors and the wiring module.

Universal support bracket for electrical junction box

The Adjustable Mud ring consists of a collarless frame, having a central opening for an Extending Member, perimeter fastener openings for connecting to a junction box, and bendable tabs for securing the frame to an Extending Member, which is boxed shaped with a central opening for electrical apparatus, fixed tabs with openings for threading adjustable fasteners into openings in the frame, and bendable tabs for securing the system to a wall. A Grounding Spring Clip, constructed from sheet-metal, folded to create a compressive spring, with an opening for a fastener, allows proper grounding. Add-on Rings are boxed shaped with a central opening, openings on flat, fixed perimeter tabs for threading bolts into to an Extending Member, and bendable tabs for securing the system to a wall. A bracket, with openings for fasteners for attaching the assembly to wall members, can be made a part of the frame.
