Abstract
The electrical cover comprises a friction-held electrical cover for a recessed light fixture. Embodiments of the electrical cover described herein provide flexible finish material covers that guard recessed “can” light fixtures from paint, spackling, and other foreign materials. The frictionally-held finish material covers utilize specifically shaped features on the surfaces, such as negative draft, that contact the electrical components to increase the hold on the electrical device. Some of the shaped features of the frictionally-held covers also help minimize stress in the cover. Features are also molded into the parts to assist and strengthen the cover once installed, and thus protect against the intrusion of finish material behind the cover.
Claims20
An electrical cover for a recessed light fixture, comprising:
- a main body having a series of concentric annular fittings increasing in diameter, wherein at least one of said series of concentric annular fittings capable of pressure fit engagement with an opening of a recessed light fixture;
- and
- a plurality of scored cut-lines, each of said plurality of scored-cut lines corresponding to each of said series of concentric annular fittings which allow removal of larger diameter concentric annular fittings.
