Flush mount panels with multiple aligned receiving brackets

摘要

A panel with multiple openings and brackets can be used to flush-mount multiple components in a wallboard. The panel is installed flush with the wallboard and the junction between the panel and the wallboard is plastered or drywalled to create a uniform appearance. Wall-mounted components can then be installed into the brackets into openings that have been pre-measured and cut to ensure that the components are aligned with precision relative to one another before installation even begins.

主权项

1. An assembly for facilitating installation of first and second mounted components into a wallboard, comprising:
a panel having a first panel opening and a second panel opening, each of the first and second panel openings extending from a front surface of the panel to a back surface of the panel; wherein the front surface of the panel has a first front recess at the first panel opening and a second front recess at the second panel opening; wherein the back surface of the panel has a first back recess at the first panel opening and a second back recess at the second panel opening; a first front bracket disposed within the first panel opening and having (i) an attachment member that fits flush within the first front recess, (ii) a first bracket opening configured to receive the first mounted component, and (iii) a spackle rim disposed about the first bracket opening and extending outwardly beyond the front of the panel by a small distance; and a first bracket backing that fits within the first back recess and coupled with the first front bracket via a first screw to thereby clamp an edge of the first panel opening.
