BASEBOARD MOLDING INCORPORATING COVER SECTIONS FOR CONCEALING ELECTRICAL WALL OUTLET RECEPTACLES

摘要

The disclosure relates to a sectionalized baseboard molding including sections adapted to be placed over and to thereby conceal electrical wall outlet receptacles and corresponding plug connectors. A hollow removable cover section of molding is positioned over the electrical wall outlet receptacle and is pivotally mounted to adjacent fixed sections of molding to permit rotational displacement of the cover section for insertion and withdrawal of a plug connector. The cover section of molding is spring biased to return to its original position adjacent the wall surface and in one embodiment is so retained by a detent locking arrangement. The pivotal mounting is located at the top of the cover section of molding in one embodiment and at the foot of the cover section of molding in the other embodiment. A third embodiment employs hanger rods extending outwardly from adjacent fixed sections of molding. The cover section of molding in this embodiment can be completely removed for permitting insertion or removal of the plug connector into the outlet receptacle and for this purpose has slotted openings which fit over and engage the hanger rods to thereby support the cover section of molding. All the embodiments utilize a layer of foam material affixed to the bottom edge of the molding for allowing passage of the electrical wire conductors thereunder.
