Abstract
At least one sidewall of the electrical outlet box is formed with boss members defining slots for receiving and retaining the attaching portion of a generally L-shaped mounting bracket which also includes a mounting portion adapted to be secured to a suitable support structure. As preferably embodied, the outlet box is made of a moldable plastic material and includes wedge-like restraining means on the sidewall for ratcheting into an aperture formed in the attaching portion of the bracket when the bracket is fully seated in the slots in order to prevent removal of the bracket from the outlet box.
