Abstract: A cover plate for entirely covering an existing duplex electrical outlet having two electrical receptacles without having to replace the entire electrical outlet or adding extenders to the electrical plug which is inserted into the orifices in the receptacles or adding extenders to the receptacles, comprising a primary outer surface; a perimeter surface which is capable of resting against the wall in which the duplex outlet has been installed; chamfers extending from said outer primary surface to said perimeter surface; an inner primary surface parallel to said primary outer surface configured so that may rest directly upon the duplex electrical outlet; a plurality of orifices corresponding in size, number and configuration extending through said primary outer and inner surfaces, whereby when the cover plate is attached to the duplex electrical outlet, the orifices in said cover plate will lie directly over the corresponding orifices in said outlet receptacle such that an electrical plug may be inserted into

Abstract: In the present invention, a switch plate cover for an electrical toggle switch comprises three components. The first is a face plate which has an orifice and two standard screw holes for mounting to the switch. The second is a shaped toggle actuator cover which fits over the toggle actuator of the switch and partially through the orifice. The third is a base plate with a rectangular orifice for passage of the toggle switch/dimmer actuator to the toggle actuator cover. The combined components of the switch plate cover are mounted onto the toggle actuator of an electrical switch by placing the orifice of the third component and the hollow vertical second component directly on top of the toggle actuator and then affixing the combined face plate assembly to the switch plate with screws. In operation, the second component is slid up or down, such that the above-mentioned rectilinear displacement causes the actuator to move from one of its positions to the other of its positions.
