ABSTRACT:
A switch plate labelling assembly is provided by a label holder which includes a unitary frame having an apertured base plate in which the frame, in one embodiment, is attached over a standard switch plate utilizing a screw normally used to anchor the switch plate to the switch. In one embodiment, the aperture is provided with a frustoconical portion projecting rearwardly from the back surface of the base, with the aperture being offset downwardly from the center of the base to permit the frame and the label it carries to provide a maximum amount of labelling area and still remain within the confines of the switch plate. The label holder may be used for switches, plugs, or other electrical apparatus which are fastened to outlet boxes in which a covering device is employed and secured in place with screws. A removable label is contained under a flexible transparent sheet having opposed tabs which are insertable into mating slots or notches in the frame, with the slots having been made in the frame by either drilling from the back of the base or through the utilization of a molding insert or projection during the molding of the unitary frame/base structure. In an alternative embodiment the label holder can be provided with an adhesive backing material for general use. The removal of the flexible transparent sheet and label can be easily accomplished by inserting a small pointed object along the sides of the transparent sheet at which the slots are located followed by a prying up step.
