Abstract
A night light integral with a low profile cover plate assembly for electrical wall outlets utilizes two parts, a wall plate and a cover plate. The wall plate has a flat rear panel which is attached to the wall outlet, lies against the wall and includes peripheral lips holding a plurality of detent ridges. The cover plate includes the night light assembly which, in turn, includes power blades engaging the slots of the wall outlet to energize a night light bulb. Light escapes from underneath the cover plate through clear plastic lenses filling openings in the cover plate. Snap action projections on the inner surfaces of the cover plate periphery engage the retention ridges on the outer surfaces of the wall plate to ensure that the cover plate night light is attached to the wall plate by forces other than simply the friction of the power blades in the outlet slots. The cover plate may simultaneously used to cover a low profile plug in the other outlet slots of a standard duplex wall outlet.
