ACCESS PLATE ADAPTER FOR ELECTRICAL FIXTURE

摘要

An electrical assembly, such as a lighting assembly, includes a housing adapted for mounting to a wall or ceiling. The housing has an outer wall for attaching to the wall or ceiling and an opening for wire connections between the housing and the power source. An access plate adapter is removably coupled to the opening in the housing to define a channel between the housing and the wall or ceiling. The adapter has a bottom wall and a side wall forming a well and an outwardly extending top wall at a top end of the side wall. The bottom wall has as plurality of tabs forming hooks for coupling with the opening in the housing wall. The top wall of the adapter has a dimension to contact the surface of the wall or ceiling and form a seal to define a closed channel between the housing and the wall or ceiling.

主权项

1. An access plate adapter for closing an access opening in an electrical housing, said adapter comprising:
a body having a substantially planar bottom wall and a side wall to define a well, said side wall having a first end integrally formed with said bottom wall, said bottom wall having a coupling member projecting outwardly from said bottom wall for coupling said adapter to an access opening of the electrical housing, and an access opening including a knock-out to enable the passage of wires between said well and the electrical housing; and an end wall extending outwardly from a second end of said side wall, said end wall surrounding said well and forming a substantially planar surface for forming a seal with an outer surface of a wall or ceiling surface.
