20220368120 · 2022-11-17 ·

An outlet enclosure for enclosing an electrical outlet to cover the electrical outlet and its electrical socket. The outlet enclosure includes a base plate and an outlet cover or holder which wraps partially around the electrical outlet to allow access to the electrical socket. The outlet cover or holder includes tracks extending in a vertical direction along its outer surface. An outer cylindrical cover wraps completely around the outlet cover or holder. The outer cylindrical cover slides vertically via the tracks over the outlet cover or holder from a lowered position fully enclosing the outlet cover or holder to a raised position exposing the electrical socket to allow access to the electrical outlet so that a plug can be inserted into the socket of the electrical outlet. When the outer cylindrical cover is lowered, it protects the electrical outlet from exposure to the elements.

Extendable electrical outlet enclosure

An extendable electrical outlet enclosure with a tubular main body, a bezel, a cap, at least one extension tube, and a back plate. The tubular main body has a first end, a second end, and a wall extending between the first end and second end. The tubular main body also has an electrical device support that extends inward from the wall and defines a separation between an electrical plug section and a wiring section. The bezel surrounds an opening in the main body at the first end and allows the cap to removably mount to the electrical enclosure. The at least one extension tube attaches to the tubular main body at the second end and has a leading end, a trailing end, and an outer wall extending between the leading end and the trailing end. The back plate couples with the at least one extension tube at the trailing end.
