The invention pertains to an electrical box assembly having a support
structure for use in securing electrical enclosures, housings or boxes or
the like to a stud. Upon insertion of the stud into a stud-receiving
cavity of the assembly, a movable tab is pivoted to press one or more
prongs into engagement with the stud. Pivoting of the tab may continue
until the tab is locked in place whereupon the electrical enclosure is
secured to the stud in compliance with code requirements without the need
for such secondary operations as driving a separate fastener into the
stud; the box now being secured with sufficient rigidity to satisfy local
code enforcement.
