Electrical switch plate cover

In combination, a toggle lever from an electrical switch anchored to a wall, and an operating member for pivoting said toggle lever about a pivotal plane between two limit positions, said operating member defining:

• (a) a switch plate, defining a small central bore;
• (b) first securing means, to secure said switch plate to said wall spacedly outwardly therefrom and parallel thereto and in register with said switch;
• (c) a cover, defining a large central bore;
• (d) second securing means, to secure said cover to said wall spacedly outwardly from said switch plate, in register thereto and parallel thereto, wherein a pair of upper and lower slits are defined by said cover large bore between said cover and switch plate, said slits defining a plane orthogonal to said toggle pivotal plane and a lengthwise axis within said pivotal plane;
• wherein said toggle lever releasably freely extends through said bores;
• and
• (e) a slidable plate, slidably engaged into said slits for sliding motion along said lenglthwise axis thereof between two limit positions corresponding to said toggle lever limit positions, said slidable plate having a central projection transversely outwardly projecting relative to said wall and defining a well into which is releasably engaged the toggle lever;
• wherein said slidable plate carries during its motion said toggle lever in its pivotal motion, said switch including the toggle lever being concealed from view by the operating member;
• and said operating member greatly facilitating manual actuation of said toggle lever, particularly when the latter is of small dimensions relative to the hand of a user person.
