Modular Gang Box Docking System for Computing Devices

摘要

A modular docking system for being installed adjacent to an at least one additional electrical component within a gang box. In at least one embodiment, the system provides a docking plate engagable with the gang box and configured for removably receiving an at least one computing device. The docking plate provides an at least one elongate mounting aperture for allowing a screw to pass therethrough and be engaged with an at least one free mounting tab of the gang box while also allowing the docking plate to be selectively offset relative to the gang box. An at least one component adapter is engagable with one of a pair of opposing component tabs of the electrical component for increasing a height of the electrical component so as to substantially approximate a height of the docking plate.

1. A modular docking system for being installed adjacent to an at least one additional electrical component within a gang box, the system comprising:
a docking plate engaging a front edge of the gang box and configured for receiving an at least one computing device; the docking plate providing an at least one elongate mounting aperture sized and positioned for allowing a screw to pass therethrough and be engaged with an at least one free mounting tab on the front edge of the gang box while also allowing the docking plate to be selectively offset relative to the corresponding mounting tab of the gang box; a charging circuit in electrical communication with an at least one electrical wire provided by the gang box, the charging circuit selectively providing power to the at least one computing device; and an at least one component adapter engaging one of a pair of opposing component tabs of the at least one electrical component, the at least one component adapter sized for increasing a height of said electrical component so as to substantially approximate a height of the docking plate; whereby, the system allows the at least one additional electrical component to be installed within the gang box adjacent to the docking plate and, thus, the computing device, regardless of the dimensions of the computing device.
