Abstract: In one example, a cover plate for an electrical receptacle may include a face plate, an engaging feature disposed on the face plate, and a spring clip, wherein the engaging feature disposed on the face plate engages with the spring clip and secures the spring clip in at least two different positions with respect to the face plate.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a wall socket plate for replacing existing wall sockets in one simple installation step. The wall socket plate obtains electric current from socket terminal screws to power at least a third receptacle by connecting metal tabs on the back side of the wall socket plate to socket terminals, and transferring electric current from the socket terminals to additional receptacles through conductive material, in accordance with the invention described herein.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a wall socket plate for replacing existing wall sockets in one simple installation step. The wall socket plate obtains electric current from socket terminal screws to power a signal booster fluidly coupled to a wall socket plate. The signal booster is powered by transferring electric current from the socket terminal screws through conductive material to the signal booster, in accordance with the invention described herein.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a face plate, an electrical contact, and a support structure interfacing to the face plate and supporting the electrical contact, wherein the electrical contact is repositionable with respect to the face plate along two distinct axes.

Abstract: In one example, a modified electrical device includes a body and at least one connector on the body to make power and control connections with an active cover plate. A system includes an active cover plate comprising low voltage circuitry and a first interface and a modified electrical device. The modified electrical device includes high voltage circuitry and a second interface to connect to the first interface to supply low voltage to the active cover plate. A method for controlling a flow of power through a modified electrical device is also provided.

Abstract: In one example, an active cover plate includes a faceplate, a load and a spring clip adjustable in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to the faceplate to electrically interface with a receptacle body and extract electrical power from the receptacle body to energize the load. A method for installing an active cover plate on an electrical receptacle is also provided.
