Abstract

A plastic building wall mounting bracket assembly comprises a one-piece mounting bracket with a back wall and an integral continuous peripheral wall extending axially therefrom, a flange member having an outside flange and an integral flange wall extending axially therefrom to be received by the mounting bracket so that only the flange member is visible from outside the building.

Description

This invention relates to a plastic building wall mount for attachment to the wall of a building which has siding thereon and is adapted for mounted elements such as electrical boxes, faucets and the like.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has been known to use wall mounting brackets for attachment on the wall of a building having siding and is adaptable for mounting various devices. Such a bracket is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,920,708 which provides for a one-piece body with a front wall and an integral peripheral wall extending therefrom with an integral peripheral flange which attaches to the wall of a building. A flange member with an axial wall is telescoped over the peripheral wall of the body and is locked into position by interengaging projections and recesses on the axial wall of the flange and the peripheral wall of the body. One of the problems with respect to such a bracket, especially when adapted for use with an electrical box, is that the front wall of the body prevents convenient access to the electrical box.
In addition, both the front wall of the mounting bracket and the flange member are visible making color coordination with the siding more difficult and costly.
Another plastic building product is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,875,318 that is adapted to be placed on a wall of a building to provide a louver or window and is able to accommodate siding of varying thickness. However, this device poses the same problem in that both the body and the flange member are visible requiring both parts to be made of the same costly material and color in order to blend with the siding on the house.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,726,152, a bracket is disclosed for mounting a fixture. This device is not easily adapted for use with an electrical box, faucets and similar fixtures. The spacing of the outer wall of the outer cap prohibits access to the fixture or would require the fixture to be extended incurring much labor and expense.
In accordance with the present invention, a plastic building wall mounting bracket is adapted particularly for use with an electric box or a faucet.
Specifically, in accordance with the present invention, the plastic building wall mounting bracket assembly comprises a one-piece plastic body with an integral peripheral wall extending from a back wall which is to be mounted to the wall of a house, and a flange member with an integral peripheral wall adjacent the inner periphery thereof for attachment to the wall of the bracket member. In use, only the flange member is visible thus allowing the bracket member to be made of a less expensive material, of a different color such that color coordination with the siding is easier and less costly or of a U.L. approved material.
Also, the invention may be used with existing short wires and electric boxes thus eliminating the need for any extension thereof.
In addition, the plastic building wall mounting bracket assembly is also adapted to be used with a faucet and in such use, an alternate piece is provided to be inserted over the faucet pipe to obscure the hole in the wall through which the pipe extends and which also may be color coordinated with the outside flange member to be the same color as the siding of the house.

 DESCRIPTION
Referring to the figures, and more particularly to FIGS. 1-3, the wall mounting bracket assembly of the present invention is shown mounted to a wall of a house having siding S and which supports a device, for example, an electrical box E. The assembly 10 includes a mounting bracket 12 (FIG. 6) and a flange member 22 (FIG. 7), each comprising a one piece plastic body such as polypropylene. The mounting bracket 12 has a back wall 14 adapted to be mounted to the wall of a house. The back wall 14 has a central opening 16 to accommodate, for example, an electrical box housing a standard two-plug outlet P. An integral peripheral wall 18 extends at an axial direction from the back wall 14 and is adapted to extend through an opening O in the siding S as seen most clearly in FIG. 5. The peripheral wall 18 has an outer surface 18a, an inner surface 18b and a free edge l8c. The back wall 14 is adapted to be mounted to the wall of a building by fasteners such as nail (FIG. 1) extending through elongated slots 15 in the back wall 14. The assembly 10 further comprises a flange member 22 (FIG. 7) which includes an outside flange 24 and an integral flange wall 26 extending axially from the periphery, thereof. The outside flange 24 has an outer surface 24a and an inner surface 24b. The flange wall 26 is adapted to be telescoped within the peripheral wall 18 so that the free edge l8c of the peripheral wall 18 is covered by and remains hidden from view behind the outside flange 24. Also, the outer surface 24a covers the inner surface 18b of the peripheral wall 18. The peripheral wall 18 includes a plurality of spaced recesses 20 which selectively receive teeth or locator locks 28 on the flange wall 26 (FIG. 4).
In use, the mounting bracket 12 is fastened to the wall of a house as before mentioned and siding S is then applied closely, adjacent the wall. After the electrical box E has been mounted an insulator 30 is placed within the peripheral wall 18 closely adjacent to the electrical box and a cover piece, which is a plastic socket cover 32 with hinged covers 33, is received within peripheral wall 18 to be adjacent insulator 30. Flange member 22 is then telescopically connected to the mounting bracket 12 such that only the flange member 22 and the socket cover 32 are seen (FIG. 1).
The embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 9 is adapted for use in mounting a faucet F. An inside cover piece 34 has a central opening 35 and a slit 36 extending from the opening 35 to an outside edge to facilitate insertion over the faucet pipe and is placed adjacent the back wall 14 of the mounting bracket 12. Flange member 22 is then telescopically received inside the peripheral wall 18 as described before such that only the inside cover piece and the flange member 22 are visible and which may be made of the same material and/or color to blend with the siding S.
Openings 20 in the peripheral wall 18 are spaced such that the locator lock 28 is received in the opening nearest the back wall 14 when the assembly is used with a faucet as in FIG. 8 and where the locator lock 28 is received in the other opening when in use with an electrical box.
