ABSTRACT:
A face plate for an electrical outlet having a pair of bosses each supporting, on an exterior surface thereof, a resilient elongate tubular member formed from a substantially water impermeable material for encasing a plug and the boss. The tubular member has opposed open first and second ends with the first end dimensioned to engage an exterior surface of the boss and a second portion dimensioned to pass over the plug and be resiliently expanded thereby to minimize penetration of liquid between the tubular member and the plug to achieve a substantially waterproof engagement therebetween.
