Abstract
An electrical junction box cover plate assembly with an electrical junction box and a cover attachment bar. Each end of the cover attachment bar has an attachment screw aperture that aligns with a mounting screw aperture of the electrical junction box. A cover plate has an upper side with a cavity, an annular lip extending inward into the cavity, and at least two entry ports extending through the annular lip, each configured to receive one of the two ends of the cover attachment bar. When the ends of the cover attachment bar are inserted into the entry ports, the cover plate is rotatable with respect to the cover attachment bar and the electrical junction box to interlock extensions of the two ends with the annular lip of the cover plate to conceal the electrical junction box, the cover attachment bar, and the screws.
