ABSTRACT:
A threaded cover is pivotally secured to a strap that is hinged to the base of the cover plate, the strap and base having cooperative means for holding the cover in an up position away from the access port to the receptacle merely by raising the strap to a position substantially perpendicular from the base, such as by the strap being L-shaped with a loop in the leg of the L encircling a pin secured to the base with the loop being shaped to slide over the pin when the cover is raised and to bear against the base in a locked open position.
