ABSTRACT:
A switch cover plate assembly includes label covers each having an elongated main portion and a pair of opposite ends and a switch faceplate for mounting the label covers. The faceplate has a flat main panel, switch holes therethrough adapted to receive switch actuators, mounting holes therethrough adapted to receive therethrough fasteners to mount the faceplate to a switch box, and label cover mounting recesses and a pair of slots defined at opposite ends of each of the mounting recesses. Each mounting recess and pair of mounting slots are adapted to receive and mount one of the label covers. Each label cover is adapted to seat within one mounting recess and to be slidably insertable into and removable from the mounting slots. A pair of parallel opposite edge surfaces are defined on opposite sides of the mounting slots at inclined angles to the plane of the flat main panel so as to extend along and parallel to a path through which the opposite end portions of the label cover must slidably move in order to insert into and withdraw from the mounting slots. Each mounting hole is defined through the flat main plate in one of the mounting recesses and spaced from the mounting slots of the pair thereof defined at the opposite ends of the mounting recess. Also, each label cover also includes grooves defined in the main portion adjacent to opposite end portions of the respective label cover to permit insertion and engagement of an object, such as a fingernail, within the groove of the label cover in order to slidably move the label cover relative to the faceplate and into and from the mounting slots.
