  • Publication number: 20260088597
    Abstract: A powered switch or outlet cover includes a powered base plate and removable face plate. The face plate includes hooks that engage with hook receivers on the face plate. A latching arrangement separate from the hooks and hook receivers includes latching members on the base plate and corresponding engagement members on the face plate. Each engagement member deflects one of the latching members as the face plate is engaged with the base plate, to maintain engagement of the face plate with the base plate. A separation arrangement, in the form of a ramped surface on the powered base plate and an engagement surface on the face plate, enables a user to separate the face plate from the powered base plate by advancing a tool along the ramped surface, so when the tool contacts the engagement surface of the face plate, the face plate is separated from the powered base plate.
