Abstract

A facade assembly for an electric socket consists of a support for mounting to the socket, a cover plate to provide a raised decorative area that covers the socket, and a wallplate to surround the raised area and snap onto the cover plate. The facade assembly provides an attractive "designer-style" appearance that permits easy replacement of modular elements that determine the aesthetic qualities of the assembly.
