Abstract
An electrical switch identification plate for mounting to a wall has an opening formed in the plate and pair of cavities disposed above and below the opening. A pair of screw holes are formed through each cavity at a center portion thereof. A pair of bores are formed in each cavity and surround each screw hole. An indicia insert member has a shape substantially the same as that of the cavities. A pair of pins are mounted on a bottom surface of each insert member and are received by the bores for retaining each insert member in each cavity. Indicia is mounted on a top surface of the insert member and operates to identify the switch and its on or off position.

An identification plate mounted to a substrate comprising:
- a) the plate having a generally flat shape, a top and bottom surface and at least one opening formed therein,
- b) at least two cavities formed in the plate and disposed proximal to the at least one opening,
- c) at least one screw hole formed through the plate for receiving at least one screw and attaching the plate to the substrate,
- d) a pair of bores formed in each cavity,
- e) at least two removable indicia insert members, each having a top and bottom surface and a pair of pins inserting into the pair of bores formed in each cavity, each pair of pins attached to each insert member bottom surface at a perpendicular angle thereto, and
- f) indicia mounted on the top surface of each removable indicia insert member.
