Abstract
An electrical or communications monument for selective mounting along an edge of a work surface which may have a predetermined minimum spacing between the edge and an adjacent obstruction. The monument includes a one-piece bracket having a back portion from which a base and first and second spaced support arms extend. The base joins the back portion with a curved section which has a predetermined relative large radius. The back portion extends above the support arms to provide a flange upon which a receptacle is mounted. The curved section enables the bracket to be mounted along an edge of a work surface, notwithstanding a closely spaced wall, with the support arms resting upon the work surface. A screw is threadedly engaged with the base. Engagement of the screw with the lower side of the work surface provides a firm three-point support for the monument.
