Abstract
A device for covering a recess in a tiled wall comprises a receptacle, which is adapted to be inserted into the recess and to accommodate a tile cover, which is connected to the receptacle by pivotal mounting means, which act on supporting lugs, which are provided on the receptacle and extend normal to the plane in which the tile cover extends in its closed position. To provide cover-retaining means which are particularly simple and can be combined with any different receptacles, the pivotal mounting means consist of separate hinges, which are provided on one side of the receptacle adjacent to two corners thereof. Each of the supporting lugs which carry the hinges comprises a lanced retaining tongue, which is adapted to be anchored in a side face of the recess.
