  • Patent number: 9800033
    Abstract: Technologies are described for an outlet cover system. The systems may include a cover, base and coupling system. The base and cover of the outlet cover system may be joined using the coupling system. The coupling system may include a bottom half and a top half. The bottom half and top half may be joined using an anchor. The anchor may include an anchor head, anchor shaft and anchor lid. The anchor head includes flares which can compress and expand to prevent its removal from the coupling system. The joining of the bottom and top half of the coupling system allows the outlet cover system to move between open and closed positions.

  • Patent number: 9478956
    Abstract: An outdoor electrical device cover includes a lid having top, bottom and side walls with a laterally projecting flange having a peripheral skirt. A continuous channel is formed between the skirt and an inner rail of the lid flange. The lid is hinged to a base which includes top, bottom and side walls having a peripheral flange with a continuous channel. When the lid is closed, an inner rail of the lid flange seats in the base channel and an outer rail of the base flange seats in the lid channel to seal the electrical device from water penetration. At least one frangible panel provided in a wall of the lid is broken away to open a portal for an electric cord passageway into the interior of the cover when the lid is closed. A canopy arch flange overlies the passageway to shield against water entering through the open passageway.

  • Patent number: 9219357
    Abstract: A kit for covering electrical devices includes a housing having a rear panel which receives adapter plates. An opening in an adapter plate is defined by a forwardly tapered chamfered wall. A frustum insert having a chamfered wall opening may be received in the adapter plate opening and successive frustum inserts, each having a smaller chamfered wall opening, may be inserted within the opening of the prior insert. Each of the openings is dimensioned to receive the face of a different electrical device. A frustum plug having a rectangular toggle switch opening can be received in one of the chamfered openings. The top and side of the housing include arrays of hinge pins and a lid includes mating arrays of hinge knuckles. The lid is mounted to either array of pins. Selected pins have enlarged heads to prevent inadvertent disengagement.
