Abstract: A cover panel is described that plugs into unused electrical outlets and camouflages or conceals the receptacle and faceplate and creates a safety barrier to the electrical components of an unused electrical outlet is described. Embodiments of the cover panel include a solid panel front surface of non-conductive molded material with a paintable surface on the outside and posts adapted to fit into the orifices of an electrical socket on the inside. The cover panel fits over the outlet's faceplate and is “plugged” into the socket, requiring no tools to install or remove. Embodiments of the cover panel have a paintable surface which can be painted to match or complement nearby walls camouflaging unused outlets. The painted cover panel serves as a physical barrier to the electrical outlet, and makes the electrical outlet less conspicuous. Embodiments include cover panels containing recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

Abstract: A simple, one piece, inexpensive flat panel with beveled edges that plugs into unused electrical outlets and camouflages the receptacle and faceplate and creates a safety barrier to the electrical components of an unused electrical outlet is described. The panel comprises a solid panel of non-conductive molded material, slightly larger than a standard faceplate, with a paintable surface on the outside and, on the underside, posts positioned to fit into the orifices of an electrical socket. The panel fits over the outlet's faceplate and is “plugged” into the socket, requiring no tools to install or remove. It has a paintable surface which can be covered with paint used on the surrounding walls camouflaging unused outlets. It can be moved and repainted as the room's decor changes. The painted panel serves as a barrier to the electrical mechanism making it less pronounced.
