发明名称 Floor box cover
摘要 A floor box cover includes a base plate that engages an electrical device and a cover plate connected to the base plate. The cover plate includes a first opening to expose the electrical device and a second opening to receive a lid. A connector is inserted into an aperture in the lid and engages the cover plate to secure the lid within the second opening, causing the lid to conceal the first opening. A connector gasket engages the connector to prevent the connector from being easily removed from the lid. The connector gasket may be compressed within the aperture to seal the aperture when the connector engages the cover plate. A compressible ring gasket may be friction fit within the second opening, and when the connector engages the cover plate, the lid may compress the ring gasket to seal the second opening.
