Enlarged wall switch plate

An enlarged cover plate assembly with use with a conventional electrical wall switch having a rotatable rocker arm within a mounting bracket with threaded mounting holes with a spacing for conventional cover plates, comprising:

• an enlarged cover plate having an area substantially greater than an area of said wall switch and having a front surface forming a decorative surface and a back surface facing said wall switch, and further defining an aperture connecting said front and back surfaces having a length less than a distance between said mounting holes;
• means for attaching said enlarged cover plate to said mounting bracket;
• two flanges extending between said back surface of said enlarged cover plate and said wall switch and oriented so that said rocker arm moves parallel with said flanges;
• and
• a rocker arm extension toggle having a first actuating portion that is accessible from said front surface of said enlarged cover plate, a second engaging portion having a cavity therein for loosely engaging said wall switch rocker arm so that said toggle moves through a greater angle than said switch rocker arm as said toggle rotates to actuate said switch rocker arm;
• wherein said toggle defines arcuate grooves therein and said flanges define raised portions thereon that engage said arcuate grooves for arcuate sliding movement of said raised portions within said grooves as said toggle rotates through said greater angle than said switch rocker arm.
