Patent ID: 10498123

Abstract:
A support bracket for an electrical connection box is used with metal furring channels in a ceiling. A central web has a first end hole, and a plurality of top holes arrayed longitudinally adjacent a second end for selective attachment to a second furring channel. A guide flange projects downward from the central web at the first end, and is placed directly against a first furring channel, to align the support bracket perpendicular to the channel. The guide flange is bent around the first furring channel. The guide flange receives a fastener through a guide hole, the first channel, and the first end hole. Right and left side mounting flanges project downward from the central web. The mounting flanges have a plurality of mounting holes arrayed longitudinally for attaching the electrical connection box. The mounting flanges are biased inwardly toward one another to receive the box for mounting between them and to support the box temporarily, for selective longitudinal and vertical placement of the electrical connection box during installation.
