Abstract
A light switch cover is implemented in which users can attach, view, and easily replace labels indicating the function of a given switch. A front cover includes a window through which the label is visible, and an indent on its rear side accommodates a mounting plate, a clear film, and a sticker. Tabs on the mounting plate engage notches in the front cover's indent, creating a press-fit mechanism that allows quick removal or replacement of labels without unscrewing or detaching the entire cover. The rear cover, which is screwed to the wall, is concealed by the front cover for a sleek, screw-less appearance. Alternatively, the same labeling concept can be implemented using a single-face plate that houses the window and mounting arrangement.
