Abstract
A portable junction or outlet box is provided having an elastomeric outer layer to provide impact resistance and abrasion resistance to the electrical box. The outer layer encloses the outer surface of a rigid electrical box and overlies the side walls and end walls of the electrical box. The corners of the outer layer define a thickened portion relative to the side portions of the outer layer to increase the impact resistance.
