Abstract
An electrical junction box or mounting assembly includes a box having a top wall and a side wall. The side wall extends downwardly away from the top wall and defines a cavity therein. An auxiliary fixture support is disposed in the cavity. An opening or seat is provided in the side wall, and the auxiliary fixture support extends into such opening or seat. A threaded hole may be provided on the auxiliary fixture support. The auxiliary fixture support may be a lug. Preferably, the fixture support has an extension for engaging a side wall of the junction box for counteracting any tendency of the support to move or rotate when carrying a fixture or ceiling fan. Preferably, the auxiliary fixture support is sufficiently smooth for preventing wear to plastic-coated electrical wire which engages exposed surfaces of the fixture support.
