ABSTRACT:
An interchangeable wallplate assembly made up of two or more interchangeable panels which can be locked together to cover electrical devices mounted in two or more ganged gem boxes. The panels can be blank or have apertures to permit portions of the electrical devices to extend therethrough for front access. If an electrical device is changed or another is added or removed the assembly can be altered to match the new electrical device configuration. End panels each have a pawl and a loop spaced along one wall while central panels have pawls and loops spaced along both walls. Thus, end panels can be joined to themselves or to a central panel which can also be mounted to similar central panels to allow the assembly to be increased to cover any ganged gem box.
