Abstract

An outlet cover assembly with electrical connection to couple to a receptacle. The cover assembly may include a cover plate having an electrical load and at least one intermediate connector coupled to the electrical load, an intermediate plate having at least one receptacle connector extending from the intermediate plate and an electrical connection point coupled to the at least one receptacle connector. The receptacle connector may be placed in electrical contact with an electric supply of the receptacle and delivers current to the electrical connection point when coupled to the receptacle. The intermediate plate is coupled between the receptacle and the cover plate with the intermediate connector of the cover plate engaging the electrical connection point of the intermediate plate to supply power to the electrical load coupled to the cover plate.

Abstract

An electrical outlet cover assembly includes a face plate and a cover plate having an electrical outlet opening sized to receive an outlet face therethrough. The face plate includes a base and at least one outlet face cavity. The cavity may extend forward of the base and include a continuous sidewall surrounding the cavity between the base and at least one face cover enclosing a front end of the cavity, and may be sized to receive the outlet face therein. A plurality of plug apertures may extend through the face cover and be positioned to align with corresponding plug apertures in the outlet face. The base may include a ridge extending outward from the sidewall behind the cover plate and in front of a yoke of the electrical outlet at an angle substantially perpendicular to the sidewall, the ridge comprising a ridge width larger than its thickness.
