Patent ID: 7128585

Claim:
For use with an elongated electrical baseboard molding system that is installed along a wall surface, a baseboard comprising: a front face generally parallel to the wall surface; a plurality of elongated narrow channels formed in the front face, wherein said channels extend inwardly towards the wall, wherein each channel includes a bus conductor insert having a pair of spaced apart conducting surfaces in electrical communication with each other wherein the conducting surfaces are maintained in spaced relationship at a separation distance that provides a friction fit with a prong of an electrical plug and wherein at least one of the bus conductor inserts further includes an entry face surface that is generally parallel to the wall surface and accessible through an entrance to the narrow channel and defines a row of slots along the length of the channel that are sized to permit insertion of a smaller prong of a polarized electrical plug while preventing insertion of a larger prong of a polarized electrical plug; and wherein said conductor bus inserts are in electrical communication with one or more sources of alternating current.
