Patent ID: 7754967

Claim:
An electrical current carrying wiring device structured for installation into a separate and autonomous electrical box mountable to at least one support structure of a building, said current carrying wiring device comprising: two primary components that are separate and autonomous from any component of the electrical box, the current carrying wiring device structured to be directly connected, within an interior space of the electrical box, to distal ends of at least two of a plurality of supply wires of a pre-installed electrical power supply distribution network of the building that are extending through a wall of the electrical box into the interior space of the electrical box, the direct connection being made absent contact with any component of the electrical box or any intermediary component mountable within the electrical box, the two primary components including: a first component that is separate and autonomous from any component of the electrical box and is structured to be affixed to an open side of the electrical box, the first component comprising: a housing that is separate and autonomous from any component of the electrical box; and a first connector disposed within the housing and connected to a current flow control device within the housing that controls a flow of an electrical current through the current carrying wiring device provided by the supply wires of the pre-installed electrical power supply distribution network of the building that are extending through the wall of the electrical box into the interior space of the electrical box; and a second component that is separate and autonomous from any component of the electrical box and is structured to be removably connectable with the first component absent any contact with any component of the electrical box, the second component comprising: a second connector structured to be removably interlockingly mateable with the first connector absent any contact with any component of the electrical box or any intermediary component mountable within the electrical box; and a plurality of flexible wire leads extending from the second connector, each wire lead comprising a proximal end integrally disposed within a body of the second connector and an opposing distal end, at least two of which are structured to be directly connected, within the interior space of the electrical box, to the distal end of a respective one of the supply wires of the pre-installed electrical power supply distribution network of the building that are extending through the wall of the electrical box into the interior space of the electrical box such that a single point parallel electrical connection is provided between the pre-installed electrical power supply distribution network and the current flow control device located within the housing of the first component when the first connector is removably interlockingly mated with the second connector.
