ABSTRACT:
An electrical control device, such as an exemplary electrical receptacle, has a front face that is a blended, aspheric surface. The vertical edges of the device have an arcuate profile from top to bottom, preferably elliptical, and the horizontal edges of the device have an arcuate profile from side to side that may be elliptical or circular. The vertical profile of the front face along a centerline of the device is substantially flat, thus an electrical plug seated in the receptacle will be limited to a rocking dimension within UL guidelines for safety. A faceplate component for use in assembly with the electrical control device has an arcuate shape in the vertical dimension that substantially matches the vertical edge profile of the electrical control device.
