Abstract

In a mounting structure of an electrical junction box, the electrical junction box is vertically mounted on a wall surface along a vertical direction in a state where mating faces of an under case member and an upper case member are set in the vertical direction. Each of the under case member and the upper case member has a pair of left and right locking projections provided therein. A bracket including a backside plate part and a pair of case hook parts provided upright from both sides of the backside plate part is disposed along the vertical direction on the wall surface. The electrical junction box is slidingly inserted from above along the backside plate part in the vertical direction until both pairs of locking projections of the under case member and the upper case member are locked to the pair of case hook parts. Thus, the electrical junction box is mounted on the wall surface by use of the bracket.

Claims (12)

1. A mounting structure of an electrical junction box, comprising:

an electrical junction box including a housing case and an electrical junction box main body housed in the housing case,

wherein the housing case has an under case member and an upper case member,

each of the under case member and the upper case member has a pair of left and right locking projections, and

the electrical junction box is vertically mounted on a wall surface along a vertical direction in a state where mating faces of the under case member and the upper case member are set in the vertical direction; and

a bracket fixed to the wall surface and having a backside plate part disposed along the vertical direction and a pair of case hook parts provided upright from both side edges of the backside plate part,

wherein the electrical junction box is slidingly inserted from above between the pair of case hook parts along the backside plate part in the vertical direction until both of the pairs of the locking projections of the under case member and the upper case member are locked to the pair of case hook parts, and thus is mounted on the wall surface by use of the bracket.

2. The mounting structure of an electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the case hook parts has a lower restricting wall part and a front restricting wall part, and

each of the case hook parts has a locking groove which is surrounded by the lower and front restricting wall parts and has an opening in an upper side thereof.

3. The mounting structure of an electrical junction box according to claim 2 , wherein each of the case hook parts has an installation guide plane which guides each of the locking projections of the upper case member into each of the locking grooves.

4. The mounting structure of an electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein each of the locking projections of the upper case member has a lateral restricting wall which restricts lateral movement of the case hook parts.
