ABSTRACT A wall bracket for mounting wiring devices comprises a flat frame having first and second jambs which define therebetween an opening for receiving the body portions of the wiring devices. The wiring device has a strap having mounting ears projecting on either side of the device and is attached to the frame with the mounting ears engaged into first and second slots formed in the frame. The first slots are formed in the first jamb and open to the opening for receiving the mounting ears on one side of the device. The second slots for receiving the mounting ears on the other side of the device are formed in a resilient strip extending along the second jamb in spaced relation outwardly thereof. The resilient strip is integrally connected at its longitudinal ends to the ends of the second jamb respectively through U-shaped hinge sections which are bent within the plane of the frame so that the resilient strip is capable of flexing outwardly within that plane to permit the snap engagement of the mounting ears into the second slots. With the hinge connections within the plane of the frame, it is possible to minimize the amount of rearward projection of the resilient strip yet assuring the snap engagement due to the flexing of the resilient strip.
