ABSTRACT:
A receptacle assembly includes a body adapted to receive a plug at one end, a cover having a top wall and a hinge having opposite upper and lower ends pivotally mounting the cover to the body for undergoing movement between an open condition and a closed condition relative to the body. The upper end of the hinge is in the form of a cap mounting the top wall of the cover such that the cover is rotatable relative to the hinge. The cover in the closed condition is rotatable between unlocked and locked positions relative to the body. The assembly further includes separate location and position indicator elements respectively in the form of a stationary arrowhead on the hinge cap and a pair of indicia in the form of words on the cover top wall being separately alignable with the stationary arrowhead upon rotation of the cover between the locked and unlocked positions. A first of the indicia on the cover is the word "open" referring to the unlocked position of the cover. A second of the indicia on the cover is the word "closed" referring to the locked position of the cover.
