WALL MOUNTED ELECTRICAL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An apparatus for supporting a high voltage electrical outlet and a low voltage electrical receptacle in adjacent positions recessed from a building wall surface, comprising:
- a wire management box sized to contain a high voltage plug and a low voltage terminal inward of the building wall surface, and having an access opening sized for a user manually to reach through with the plug and the terminal;
the wire management box further having a high voltage wall configured to support the outlet in an installed position spaced inward from the access opening, and a low voltage wall configured to support the receptacle in an installed position spaced inward from the access opening adjacent to the outlet, with the high voltage wall having depth from the access opening in excess of the depth of the low voltage wall, whereby the wire management box has a low voltage region and a deeper high voltage region.

Abstract
A wire management box is sized to contained a high voltage plug and a low voltage terminal inward of a building wall surface. The box has an access opening that is sized for a user manually to reach through with the plug and the terminal. The box further has a high voltage wall that supports a high voltage outlet in an installed position spaced inward from the access opening, and a low voltage wall that supports a low voltage receptacle in an installed position spaced inward from the access opening adjacent to the outlet.

40. An apparatus for supporting a high voltage electrical outlet and a low voltage electrical receptacle in adjacent positions recessed from a building wall surface, comprising:
-
a wire management box configured to contain a high voltage plug and a low voltage terminal inward of the building wall surface, having an access opening sized for a user manually to reach through with the plug and the terminal, and configured for the access opening to remain permanently open when the wire management box is in an installed position on the building wall; the wire management box further having a high voltage wall configured to support the outlet in an installed position in which the outlet is spaced inward from the access opening and faces outward at an acute angle to the building wall surface, and a low voltage wall configured to support the receptacle in an installed position in which the receptacle is spaced inward from the access opening adjacent to the outlet and faces outward in a direction perpendicular to the building wall surface; wherein the low voltage wall is a major bottom wall which is spaced inward from the access opening, the high voltage wall is a side wall which extends inward from the access opening, and the wire management box further has a minor bottom wall which is spaced inward from the access opening, faces outward of the access opening, and extends between the side wall and the major bottom wall at an acute angle to the major bottom wall. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
