## Abstract

Provided is a receptacle system, including a receptacle chassis that defines a volume and that defines, at an edge of the receptacle chassis, an aperture that provides access to the volume. The receptacle chassis includes a first face that is adjacent the volume, and a second face that is opposite the receptacle chassis from the first face and that is adjacent to an exterior volume. The receptacle chassis includes an object securing system that is included on at least one of the first face or the second face, and that is configured to secure the receptacle chassis to an object. Also, provided is a receptacle template system, including a planar member defines a first slot and a second slot that extend through the planar member from a first face to a second face and that are configured to receive a cutting device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A receptacle template system, comprising
a planar member having a first face and a second face that is opposite the planar member from the first face, wherein the planar member:
defines a first slot that extends through the planar member from the first face to the second face and that is configured to receive a cutting device, and
defines a second slot that extends through the planar member from the first face to the second face and that is configured to receive a cutting device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The receptacle template system of claim 1, wherein the first slot is defined on a first section of the planar member and the second slot is a mirrored version of the first slot on a second section of the planar member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The receptacle template system of claim 1, wherein the first slot and the second slot share a common origin defined by the planar member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The receptacle template system of claim 1, wherein the planar member includes:
a first planar sub-member that defines the first slot; and
a second planar sub-member that defines the second slot, and wherein the receptacle template system further comprises:
an adjustment system that is configured to:
permit adjustment of the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when in an unsecure orientation; and
prohibit adjustment of the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when in a secure orientation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The receptacle template system of claim 1, further comprising:
a cutting device system that includes a cutting blade and that is coupled to the planar member such that the cutting blade is inserted into the first slot on the first face such that the cutting blade extends past the second face and the cutting device is movable along the first slot.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The receptacle template system of claim 1, further comprising:
a guard system configured to couple to the planar member when an object is positioned between the planar member and a guard member included in the guard system.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The receptacle template system of claim 1, further comprising:
a cutting device system that includes a cutting blade and that is coupled to the planar member such that the cutting blade is inserted into the first slot on the first face such that the cutting blade extends past the second face and the cutting device system is movable along the first slot;
a guard system configured to couple to the planar member when an object is positioned between the planar member and a guard member included in the guard system, wherein the guard member is configured to prevent the cutting blade from extending through the guard member; and
an adjustment system that is configured to:
permit adjustment of a first planar sub-member that is included in the planar member with respect to a second planar sub-member that is included in the planar member when in an adjustment orientation; and
prohibit adjustment of the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when in a locked orientation,
wherein the first slot and the second slot share a first common origin and that are defined on the first planar sub-member,
wherein a third slot and a fourth slot are defined by the second planar sub-member, are a mirrored version of the first slot and the second slot, respectively, and share a second common origin, and
wherein the first common origin is configured to selectively move the cutting blade along the first slot or the second slot.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The receptacle template system of claim 4, wherein adjustment of the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when the adjustment system is in the unsecure orientation or prevention of adjustment of the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when the adjustment system is in the secure orientation is regulated by an extension coupling member.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

The receptacle template system of claim 4, further comprising:
a means for switching the adjustment system between the unsecure orientation and the secure orientation.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The receptacle template system of claim 6, further comprising:
a means for coupling the guard system to the planar member.

### Claim 11

A method, comprising:
positioning, on an object, a receptacle template system that includes a planar member having a first template face and a second template face that is opposite the planar member from the first template face; and
cutting, using a cutting device, the object by moving the cutting device along a template aperture defined by the receptacle template system such that the object defines a first object aperture.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the planar member includes:
a first planar sub-member that defines a first slot; and
a second planar sub-member that defines a second slot, and the method further comprises:
adjusting the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when in an adjustment system coupled to the first planar sub-member and the second planar sub-member is in unsecure orientation.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, further comprising:
prohibiting adjustment of the first planar sub-member with respect to the second planar sub-member when the adjustment system is in a secure orientation.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, further comprising:
changing the adjustment system between the secure orientation and the unsecure orientation.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the template aperture is the first slot.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, further comprising:
cutting, using the cutting device or a second cutting device, the object by moving the cutting device or the second cutting device along the second slot such that the object defines a second object aperture.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
coupling a guard system to the planar member such that the object is between the guard system and the planar member.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, wherein the guard system is coupled to the planar member prior to cutting the object.

### Claim 19 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
coupling, to the object, a receptacle chassis that defines a volume and that defines, at a first edge of the receptacle chassis, an aperture that provides access to the volume.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The method of claim 19, wherein the receptacle chassis includes:
a first receptacle face that is adjacent the volume; and
a second receptacle face that is opposite the receptacle chassis from the first receptacle face and that is adjacent to an exterior volume, wherein the coupling the receptacle chassis to the object includes securing, to a portion of the object that defines the first object aperture, an object securing system that is included on a trim element that is coupled to the first edge of the receptacle chassis such that the aperture of the receptacle chassis is accessible via the first object aperture.
