Abstract
The present invention teaches a remote control system, also capable of designation as a universal switch receptacle system, which is usable in conjunction with remote control devices as well as ground fault circuit interrupting systems. Features include, without limitation, a mounting strap which supports ground terminals while also serving as a magnetic circuitry conduit; a novel flip-flop cam arrangement which enables alternate making and breaking of a circuit; and space-saving means for supporting the cam arrangement about an axis of rotation which coincides with a ground prong insertion axis.
