Communications conduit connector mounting device
First Claim
1. A communications conduit connector mounting device comprising:
- an outlet box-forming portion comprising a first elongate U-shaped channel member with two parallel side walls joined by a bridging side wall to define an elongate cavity therebetween with the first U-shaped channel member open along its length on one open side between the two opposed side walls and opposite the bridging side wall and with the first channel member open at both ends as first and second open ends,one of the two opposed side walls and the bridging side wall having a major aperture therethrough adapted to receive a conduit conductor,a hook member coupled to the box-forming portion for suspending the outlet box-forming portion.

Abstract
A communications conduit connector mounting device comprising a support member adapted to carry a communications conduit connector for joining together ends of at least two communication conduit for transmission of signals therebetween, which support member depends from an engagement member adapted for engaging an interior structure of a panel system for supporting the support member within the interior of the panel system. Preferably the engagement member may comprise a hook mechanism removably engaging a horizontal member attached to a frame forming the panel assembly which frame has covers removably mounted to at least one side of the frame. The hook mechanism engages the horizontal member such as the bracket carrying the connector locates the connector within the internal space disposed for ready access of the removable cover. Preferably the hook mechanism is capable of being moved to a plurality of positions along the length of the horizontal member in which in each position the support member locates the connector within the interior space exposed for easy access on removal of the removable cover. More preferably the hook mechanism is slidably movable along the length of the horizontal member.
