ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a combination electrical outlet and switch assembly characterized by a rocker-type actuator pivoted to the front of a wiring box, and a pair of sliding cam bars are pivoted to one end of the rocker and have non-linear or "programmed" surfaces which slide in biased relation across a pair of switch contacts to open and close same, these cam bars being arrangeable in several different ways, and being usable on two separate rockers to achieve several different switching modes in the same basic assembly. The outlet portion of the box includes three conductive elements adapted to receive the prongs of an electrical plug and having connector means comprising sleeves mounted within a casing of the wiring box by simply inserting stripped wires into the sleeve. The completed wiring box is adjustable forwardly and rearwardly in a special bracket to permit aligning the front plane of the assembly flush with the exposed surface of newly installed wall board.
