An indoor electrical wall outlet cover permitting functional use of an electrical wall outlet while fully concealing the plug contact openings of the outlet. The cover has a functional electrical plug that inserts into the wall outlet and is connected to an extended electrical cord having at its distal end one or more functional electrical receptacles for indirect use of the wall outlet. In one embodiment, the cover is essentially featureless in outward appearance, and when positioned over the wall outlet, the cover fully hides the wall outlet from view, including the perimeter dimension of the wall outlet. The functional electrical plug has electrical connection pins that are bent at an angle enabling the cover to function without extending any significant degree outward of the wall outlet, so that furniture may be positioned effectively flush against the wall in front of the covered wall outlet. |

a. a cover comprising:
(i) a frontplate; and(ii) a backplate comprising at least one set of electrical prongs including a hot prong, a neutral prong, and optionally a ground prong, positioned to correspond to at least a first receptacle of the wall outlet; b. an electrical cord extending from the backplate, or the cover, said cord comprising at the cord's proximal end: at least one hot pin, at least one neutral pin and optionally a ground pin positioned on or fastened or attached to the backplate of the cover in such manner as to minimize distance between the front plate and the backplate, and respectively connected to or associated with the hot prong, neutral prong and any ground prong on the exterior of the backplate, wherein the hot pin and the neutral pin are positioned at approximately right angles to the backplate; and comprising at the cord's distal end at least one receptacle; and c. at least one aperture in each of the backplate and frontplate each with a diameter sufficient to insert a screw and each positioned to correspond to a hole in the wall outlet. |
