ABSTRACT:
An illuminated electrical outlet cover plate having an illuminating device mounted on the plate and connected electrically to tentacular electrical conductors located and designed in such a manner as to automatically make the necessary and proper electrical contact with the heads of the feed and ground terminal screws and/or ground bracket. The multiple tentacular electrical contact design for supplying electrical power to the illuminating device has no moving parts, except the spring properties of the tentacular conductors and is the novel and new feature that permits the flexibility and adaptability necessary for installation to all conventional electrical outlets regardless of manufacturer. The novel tentacular contact design for supplying electrical power to the illuminating device on the cover plate makes installation as simple as installing a non-illuminated cover plate.
