Abstract
A sconce box assembly for mounting sconces on walls of various wallboard thicknesses and shallow wall cavities with no disruption to the surrounding wall. The sconce box assembly includes an electrical box having a sidewall, a back wall, an electrical cavity, and wing bosses extending from the sidewall. First rotatable wings secured to the wing bosses are adapted for rotation between a retracted position, in which the rotatable wings are positioned inside the sidewall perimeter, and an extended position in which the rotatable wings are positioned outside the sidewall perimeter. Retracting the wings facilitates insertion of the electrical box through a hole in a wall. Extending the wings facilitates tightening the wings and clamping the electrical box to the wallboard. The invention contemplates at least one second rotatable wing that may be used optionally in place of the first rotatable wing in order to accommodate attachment to various thicknesses of wallboards.
