FOLDABLE ELECTRICAL BOX Abstract of the Disclosure A folded electrical box for mounting an electrical wiring device to a support member. Preferably, the electrical box is formed by folding a unitary blank of thin sheet material. In the preferred embodiment, the electrical box includes an integral mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has a pair of bracket portions extending outwardly from one side wall of the electrical box for coupling the electrical box to a support member. Each of the bracket portions has side mounting section extending from the electrical box for engaging one side of the support member extending perpendicular to the dry wall plaster and a face mounting section extending substantially perpendicularly from the side mounting section for engaging the side of the support member with the dry wall plaster secured thereto. The side mounting section of the mounting bracket is reinforced by folding the sheet material to double its thickness, while the face mounting section has a single thickness to avoid bulging the dry wall plaster. In another embodiment, the mounting bracket is replaced by a pair of fasteners or nails which extend through the electrical box to add rigidity and to prevent unfolding of the box.
