Abstract

A through wall electrical device including a high voltage electrical box having a rear surface and a low voltage electrical box, an electrical receptacle or an electrical plug having a rear wall and positioned in the high voltage electrical box, and wherein the rear wall extends beyond the rear surface of the high voltage box.

Claims (21)

1. A through wall electrical device comprising:

an upper high voltage electrical box, an upper low voltage electrical box separate from the upper high voltage electrical box, a lower high voltage electrical box, and a lower low voltage electrical box separate from the lower high voltage electrical box;

a hollow tube connecting the upper low voltage electrical box and the lower low voltage electrical box to allow passage of a low voltage cable;

and at least one mounting flange securing each of the upper high voltage electrical box, the upper low voltage electrical box, the lower high voltage electrical box, and the lower low voltage electrical box to a wall.

2. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper low voltage electrical box further comprises a top wall having a cutout.

3. The through wall electrical device of claim 2 wherein the cutout extends rearward at least partially above a low voltage electrical box outlet.

4. The through wall electrical device of claim 2 wherein the cutout is not visible when the upper high voltage electrical box and the upper low voltage electrical boxes are installed.

5. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper low voltage electrical box is clear.

6. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper high voltage electrical box is clear.

7. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper low voltage electrical box and the upper high voltage electrical box are each half-round electrical boxes.

8. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 further comprising a recessed mounting portion for securing the upper low voltage electrical box and the upper high voltage electrical box to a wall.

9. The through wall electrical device of claim 8 wherein the recessed mounting portions are disconnected from a front surface flange.

10. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 further comprising a faceplate securable to a flange of the upper high voltage electrical box and the upper low voltage electrical box.

11. The through wall electrical device of claim 10 wherein the faceplate further comprises a high voltage opening and a low voltage opening.

12. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper and lower high voltage electrical boxes are removable without impacting the upper and lower low voltage electrical boxes.

13. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper high voltage electrical box is positioned above the upper low voltage electrical box.

14. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the upper high voltage electrical box and the upper low voltage electrical box together form a single round electrical device when installed.

15. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein the lower high voltage electrical box and lower low voltage electrical box together form a single round electrical device when installed.

16. The through wall electrical device of claim 1 wherein an electrical plug or an electrical receptacle are retained within a receptacle retainer that is removably secured within the upper high voltage electrical box or the lower high voltage electrical box.

17. The through wall electrical device of claim 16 wherein the receptacle retainer further comprises a hinged bottom wall.

18. The through wall electrical device of claim 16 wherein the electrical receptacle further comprises two electrical receptacles.
