Cover for ceiling-mounted electrical outlet

摘要

A cover and bracket are provided for covering ceiling junction box openings in which there are no visible connecting devices on the face or outer surface of the cover. The cover has an inner surface and an outer surface. A peg is connected to the inner surface of the cover and includes raised ribs at an angle to the outer periphery of the cover. The bracket is adapted for connection to a junction box with connectors such as bolts or screws, and has one or more central engagement openings which are sized and shaped to selectively receive and engage the peg such that the cover holds fast to the junction box and covers the junction box opening and some portion of the surrounding ceiling surface. In a preferred embodiment, there are two central engagement openings. A first engagement opening contains spring engagement tabs that provide frictional holding of the peg. A second engagement opening is of a diameter less than the peg and ribs allowing the cover to be rotated clockwise therein. The central engagement openings may be elongated to permit inversion of the bracket for installation over junction boxes that are recessed into the ceiling.
