Abstract

A cover assembly for a floor box includes a base and a cover. The base defines a central opening for accessing the floor box. The cover is moveable with respect to the base and is sized to close the central opening. A hinge body is connected to the cover and pivotally connected to the base. A hinge pin is connected to the hinge body through an interference fit and connected to the base. A cord access opening is provided in the cover. An access door is connected to the cover and moveable between an open position and a closed position. A biasing member applies a force against the access door to retain the access door in a desired position.
