An electrical switch or receptacle box for mounting in a wall, ceiling or the like, including a pair of opposite side walls having retaining studs of triangular or wedge-shaped configuration molded integrally therewith, and terminating rearwardly from the open forward side of the box. The box further includes a pair of integrally molded cover plate flanges which flank the opening at the forward side of the box. Each of the flanges carries a metal insert-receiving lug on the rear side thereof, and each of these lugs is slotted to engage an apertured metal insert which is positioned to receive through an aperture therein, a mounting screw extended through the respective flange and used to mount a cover plate carrying a switch or electrical receptacle on the box.

Electrical wall box

A molded synthetic resin open-sided box mountable in walls and ceilings for enclosing terminals and connections for electrical conductors extended through walls of the box, and providing access through a switch plate secured over the open side of the box. The box has integrally molded break-out windows extending between several of the intersecting walls of the box. Each of these break-out windows includes a removable panel retained in a surrounding opening by frangible interconnecting strips or bridge webs on opposite sides of the panel. Mounting screw holes are formed in the synthetic resin of the box at locations adjacent the open side thereof, and spring metal screw retaining clips are mounted in the box adjacent these holes so that parts of the clips project into the path of the shank of a screw extended into the holes to engage the threads on the shank.
