Abstract

A service box for mounting in a floor includes a rigid container having walls and a lid for covering an upper opening in the container. The opening provides access into a cavity defined by the container. The container has access apertures in the walls for receiving service conduits such as cables, wires, or the like therethrough. The walls include sides which are closely adjacent the floor when the container is mounted in the floor. The container is adapted for mounting of service outlets in the cavity in service communication, that is, electrical communication or telecommunication with the service conduits. At least one recess is formed in the sides. Each recess has a side opening exposing the recess horizontally outwardly of the sides. An elongate first threaded member such as a bolt is rotatably and generally vertically mounted within each recess. An operative end of the first threaded member, such as the head of the bolt, is exposed into the cavity of the container so as to be accessible through the upper opening of the container for operative engagement of the operative end by a user to rotate the first threaded member about its longitudinal axis. An elongate cantilevered member is threadably mounted at a first end thereof onto the first threaded member.
