ABSTRACT:
A three-part light switch cover for enabling remote operation of a wall mounted toggle-type electrical switch comprising an elongated wall plate member adapted to enclose safely a sliding member that includes an upper end portion having an aperture adapted to receive a light switch lever and a lower end portion adapted so that the sliding member, formed at the lower end with an operating handle, is restricted to and accessible through the wall plate member. The wall plate member and sliding member are extended downward from an existing switch apparatus allowing a child or disabled person to operate the light switch from a height beneath the switch. Full use of the light switch is retained by the present invention for utilization in standard manner by means of an enlarged aperture in the wall plate member receiving the light switch lever. The wall plate member and sliding member are easily installable on a permanent, as well as temporary, basis.
