ABSTRACT:
A decorative wall plate and slider cap assembly is described for use with subsurface mounted, toggle-type electrical switches. The assembly provides an adapter wall plate for fastening to the switch strap. A decorative wall plate is fitted over the adapter plate to cover the fastening means and to impart a design feature to the wall plate. A rectangular opening through both plates receives the switch toggle. A slider member has two barbed spring clips which interact with rail members protruding from the face of the decorative wall plate. Upper and lower fingers, projecting rearwardly from the slider member face, act as cams to move the switch toggle in the vertical direction. A decorative slider cap fits over the slider member to give a basic geometric form to the switch toggle mechanism. Ramped projection members on the respective edges of the plates permit the member to be removably fastened for easy assembly, maintenance and change.
