Publication number: 20220330446Abstract: An electrical wiring device assembly having a uniform user facing surface that can be provided with a new electrical wiring device or retrofit to an existing wiring device. The surface is a sleeve that omits crevices, gaps, indentations and other irregularities that can collect and harbor harmful pathogens. The sleeve can be rigid or flexible and is coupled to the wiring device to allow a user to operate the wiring device, such as by allowing a user to move a toggle or paddle switch, while covering the user facing side of the wiring device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Applicant: Pass & Seymour, Inc.Inventors: Gerald R. Savicki, JR., Richard Rohmer, Patrick J. Murphy, Clayton Roberts, Syed J. Jamal, Theodore P. Junko, Alec J. Brindisi
