Abstract

Unitary folded metal electrical wiring boxes having the strength and rigidity of drawn one-piece boxes without the need for weld points comprise a flat polygonal base with sidewalls provided with mated extended portions and indented portions at the corners. Tabs on one sidewall extension fold over the top edge of the adjacent sidewall, engaging a notch on the second sidewall to interlock the sidewalls at each corner.
