Abstract:

A power outlet box for housing electronics and powering electronic displays suspended in a retail environment may include a first housing portion including a first set of vertical support features and a second set of vertical support features. A second housing portion may include a third set of vertical support features and a fourth set of vertical support features. The power outlet box may have (i) a closed configuration when the first and third sets of vertical support features are aligned and (ii) an open configuration when the second and fourth set of vertical support features are in contact with one another. The second set of vertical support features may be adapted to support the fourth set of vertical support features when the power outlet box is in the open configuration. A power supply device may be fixedly positioned within the power outlet box when in the closed configuration.
