Inventors: Reiker, Kenneth H.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Friedman; Carl D.
Assistant Examiner: Callo; Laura A.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Shlesinger, Arkwright & Garvey LLP

The mounting assembly includes a support having a first member and a second member, and a support bar disposed adjacent the first the second support members. A junction box is provided adjacent the support bar. A first fixture fastener extends from said support into the junction box cavity. The first fixture fastener is configured for transferring forces exerted on said first fixture fastener substantially without exerting such forces on the junction box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of an invention to provide a mounting assembly which overcomes the drawbacks and disadvantages of the prior art devices.
A further object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly which can be inexpensively manufactured.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly which is suited for use in new construction as well as for retrofitting in existing walls and ceilings.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly configured so that large static and dynamic loads are transferred directly to the structure in which the mounting assembly is installed, as opposed to the forces being transferred to a junction box attached to the mounting assembly.
Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly which is more resistant to oxidation and rusting than earlier devices.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a mounting assembly which utilizes the strength of a substrate in which the mounting assembly is installed (i.
e.
, a floor, wall, or ceiling) for carrying the load of a fixture attached at the junction box mounting site.
Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly which is easier and faster to install and use than conventional devices.
Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly having an attachment site to which fixtures can be more readily attached than with conventional devices.
A yet further object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly having an expandable support which is infinitely adjustable for mounting between joists, for example.
Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly in which relatively adjustable mounting members can be moved easily relative to each other, yet which mounting members can be easily rigidly locked together for enhancing the load-carrying characteristics thereof.
A yet further object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly which is further strengthened when a fixture is attached thereto
