US Classification:

43962021, 29428

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an electrical box can comprise: a container formed from a base having sides extending therefrom to define a cavity; a cover configured to cover the cavity when in a closed position; and a female electrical connector disposed in the cavity when the cover is in the closed position. A socket of the female electrical connector can be capable of receiving a male electrical connector. Even when the electrical box is connected to live wiring, when the cover is in an open position, current cannot flow to the socket, and when the cover is in a closed position, current can flow to the socket. In another embodiment, an electrical box can comprise: a container; a cover configured to cover the cavity when in a closed position; and a female electrical connector physically connected to the cover such that the female electrical connector moves as the cover is opened.
