    摘要: An electrical device cover with a lid coupled to a base assembly including an adapter that couples to the base through sliding lateral to the opening in the base. Particular implementations of an adapter include adapters with “L-” or other-shaped engagement tabs and adapters including straight, flat or pin-shaped engagement tabs. In particular implementations using an engagement tab, the adapter may be moved toward the base either before or after sliding parallel to the base surface, and thus engages with the base. In other implementations, the adapter is simply slid parallel to the base surface to engage with the base.

    摘要: A pop-up power system with a hollow tower to support an electrical receptacle. The lid includes a lid locking mechanism, and the tower being rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A mounting sleeve receives the tower body through it and includes a locking mechanism alignable with the lid locking mechanism. A liner is positioned between the tower body and the mounting sleeve, the liner comprising a groove for the guide pin in an interior surface of the liner which surrounds and slideably engages the body and is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve. A biasing element biases the lid of the tower away from the liner and is configured to slide between an extended position and a retracted position with respect to a mounting surface so that it has an extended locked position and an extended unlocked position, a retracted locked position and a retracted unlocked position.

    摘要: A wire connector that has a body with a closed end and an open end, a wire cavity within the open end, and a plurality of grip assemblies positioned around the body. The wire cavity is configured to rotatably couple to one or more wires. Each of the grip assemblies may have a raised rib extending between the closed end and the open end, a groove extending into the raised rib, and a rib cap shaped and positioned to cover the raised rib and extend into the groove. A first end of the rib cap may be adjacent the open end of the body and a second end of the rib cap may be adjacent the closed end of the body. The second end of the rib cap of each grip assembly may be joined to an end cap positioned to cover the closed end of the body.

    摘要: A powered wall plate comprising a wall plate, at least two electrical plug prongs, an electrical circuit, and an electrical feature. The wall plate has a front surface opposite a rear surface and at least one opening sized to expose a first electrical receptacle of an electrical device. The at least two electrical plug prongs originate within the wall plate and extend rearward from the rear surface, and are configured to removably mate with a second electrical receptacle of the electrical device. The electrical circuit is located between the front surface and the rear surface. The electrical feature is exposed on the wall plate and is configured to receive power from the at least two electrical plug prongs through the electrical circuit. The wall plate may have a profile with a first thickness and a second thickness. The second thickness may be less than three times the first thickness.

    摘要: A cord protector comprising at least one elongated body and at least one coupler. The elongated body has a base and a lid, and has a cavity in each of the first end and second end of the elongated body. The base has a channel extending between the first end and the second end in which a cord may rest. The channel may have one or more ridges. The lid is configured to insert into and cover the channel, and may have one or more grooves sized and shaped to receive a ridge. The coupler has a leading end and a trailing end. The leading end is sized and shaped to mate with the cavity of the first end and the trailing end is sized and shaped to mate with the cavity of the second end. Multiple elongated bodies can be coupled together through the use of the couplers.

    摘要: A snap-in zip connector with a clamp for gripping a wire between a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket includes a clamp seat and a first fastener opening formed by an elongated slot and hole joined together and extending through the clamp seat. The second bracket includes a fastener opening that aligns with the hole. An insert positioned in the elongated slot includes a spring arm extending into the circular hole extend into the circular hole that engages a threaded shaft of the fastener to restrict removal except through rotation of the at least one fastener.

    摘要: An electrical outlet cover with a lid having a configurable protrusion or recess to accommodate different uses and weather resistance states. The electrical outlet cover includes a base coupled to an electrical outlet and a lid hingedly coupled to the base along a first side. The lid includes a frame with a central aperture and a telescoping enclosure with a flange at a front edge of a sleeve, the flange extending outward from the sleeve. The sleeve may include a ledge extending outward from the sleeve adjacent a back edge of the sleeve on at least two sides of the sleeve. The sleeve is slidably coupled within the central aperture and movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position. The flange may abut the frame in the collapsed position and the ledge may abut the frame in the expanded position.

    摘要: A dimmable tamper resistant nightlight may include a body comprising at least one light emitting diode (LED). Plug blades may extend from the body. A dimming switch may be coupled to the at last one LED, the dimming switch configured to move between a first position that activates about 50% luminosity of the at least one LED, a second position that deactivates about 100% luminosity of the at least one LED, and a third position that activates about 100% luminosity of the at least one LED. A housing may be coupled to the body, the housing comprising an access opening through which the dimming switch may be moved among the first position, the second position, and the third position. A housing may also comprise a locking element configured to prevent the dimmable tamper resistant nightlight from being removed from the electrical receptacle.
