Claim:
An electrical wiring access box comprising the combination of: a cover having a top surface, side walls, end walls, a bottom perimeter ridge and having an open cavity defined by the walls; at least two generally C-shaped first shoulder portions integrally formed with the walls of the cover and extending perpendicularly outwardly of the cover, the first shoulder portions bending adjacent to their center, and having an outer surface, an inner surface, a rim formed on the outer surface proximally and a pair of arms extending in a generally common direction; a base having a bottom surface, side walls, end walls, a top perimeter edge and having an open cavity defined by the walls, the open cavity of the cover and open cavity of the base defining an area dimensioned to receive electrical wiring, and the top perimeter edge of the base having a larger diameter than the bottom perimeter ridge of the cover; at least two generally C-shaped second shoulder portions integrally formed with the walls of the base and extending perpendicularly outwardly, the second shoulder portions bending adjacent to their center, and having an outer surface, an inner surface, a rim formed on the outer surface proximally and a circumferential lip formed on the outer surface distally, the outer surface of the second shoulder portions defining a groove between the rim and the circumferential lip and dimensioned to respectively engage with the arms of the first shoulder portions, the first shoulder portions and second shoulder portions forming tubular projections when the cover and the base are in a closed position; so that as the cover and the base are brought together an electrical conduit is positioned in each tubular projection to allow electrical wiring to be connected in the cavity of the cover and the base.
