Cover plate for electrical enclosure box and associated method

A method for shielding an existing electrical connection enclosure box during drywall installation, texturing and painting processes, said method comprising the chronological steps of:

• a. attaching the existing electrical enclosure box to a support surface;
• b. providing a single and unitary body having a substantially rectangular and planar outer wall, said outer wall having a plurality of pins extending outwardly from an anterior face thereof, said pins being statically situated at opposed corners of said anterior face, said body further having a plurality of primary panels directly connected to a posterior face of said outer wall, said primary panels extending rearwardly and away from said posterior face, said outer wall being provided with at least one opening formed therein;
• and
• c. detachably coupling said body to the existing electrical connection enclosure box by frictionally engaging said primary panels to the existing electrical connection enclosure box so that said outer wall covers an entire front opening of the existing electrical enclosure box and thereby shields the front opening of the existing electrical connection enclosure box from undesirable debris and fluids;
• wherein said primary panels are registered orthogonally to said posterior face of said outer wall, said outer wall having oppositely situated rectilinear edges registered parallel to longitudinal lengths of said primary panels respectively such that said primary panels extend along a major longitudinal length of said rectilinear edges;
• wherein said body further includes a plurality of auxiliary panels directly connected to said posterior face of said outer wall such that said auxiliary panels extend rearwardly therefrom;
• wherein said auxiliary panels are registered orthogonally to said posterior face and remain intermediately positioned between said primary panels respectively.

• a. attaching the existing electrical enclosure box to a support surface;
• b. providing a single and unitary body having a substantially rectangular and planar outer wall, said outer wall having a plurality of coextensively shaped pins extending outwardly from an anterior face thereof, said pins being statically situated at opposed corners of said anterior face, said body further having a plurality of primary panels directly connected to a posterior face of said outer wall, said primary panels extending rearwardly and away from said posterior face, said outer wall being provided with at least one opening formed therein;
• and
• c. detachably coupling said body to the existing electrical connection enclosure box by frictionally engaging said primary panels to an interior surface of the existing electrical connection enclosure box so that said outer wall covers an entire front opening of the existing electrical enclosure box and thereby shields the front opening of the existing electrical connection enclosure box from undesirable debris and fluids;
• wherein said primary panels are registered orthogonally to said posterior face of said outer wall, said outer wall having oppositely situated rectilinear edges registered parallel to longitudinal lengths of said primary panels respectively such that said primary panels extend along a major longitudinal length of said rectilinear edges;
