A junction box apparatus includes a housing that has a front side which is open and has an upper edge, a lower edge. The bottom wall has a plurality of first aligned slots therein positioned adjacent to the lower edge. The top wall has a plurality of second aligned slots therein positioned adjacent to the upper edge. Each of a pair of mounting members is provided and each has an aperture extending therethrough. Fasteners may be extended through mounting tabs on an electrical outlet and into one of the mounting members. Each coupler, of a pair of couplers, is attached to one of the mounting members. The couplers are each is removably extendable into one of the slots of the first and second aligned slots so that the apertures are orientated substantially perpendicular to a plane of the front side.

Junction box apparatus

Featured is a mounting device and methods related thereto for mounting the device to an object including cylindrical objects such as camera lenses, rifle scopes, telescopes, monoculars and binoculars. The mounting device includes a housing, having an exterior surface, that is to be mounted to an object and a resilient member. The housing is configured so as to include an interior passage having an inner cross section larger than that of the object to which the housing is to be mounted onto, and at least one slot extending from the housing exterior surface and into the housing interior passage. The resilient member is disposed about at least a portion of the housing exterior surface so a portion of the resilient member is positioned within each of the at least one slot in the housing and so this portion of the resilient member protrudes into the interior passage. In more specific aspects of the present invention, the housing is configured with a plurality of slots being arranged concentrically about the housing. A portion of the resilient member is positioned within each of the plurality of slots so these resilient member portions protrude into the interior passage. This protruding portion or these protruding portions of the resilient member contact and frictionally grab the object when it is inserted into the interior passage.
