Abstract:
An electrical cover plate assembly has a subplate, a cover plate, and a fastener. The subplate has a first locating feature and a tab, and is sized to be mounted to an electrical device via attachment points associated with the electrical device. The cover plate is sized to extend over the subplate, and forms a second locating feature positioned to cooperate with the first locating feature to locate the cover plate relative to the subplate. The cover plate defines a threaded aperture extending through a peripheral rim of the cover plate and positioned to be aligned with the tab. A threaded fastener cooperates with the threaded aperture and engages the cover plate and the tab of the subplate to fasten the cover plate to the subplate.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of installing a cover plate according to  claim 18 , the method comprising:\n mounting the subplate to the electrical device via the attachment points associated with the electrical device; positioning and locating the cover plate relative to the subplate by engaging the second locating feature of the cover plate with the first locating feature of the subplate; and fastening the cover plate to the subplate by inserting the threaded fastener into the threaded aperture of the cover plate until a second end of the threaded fastener engages the tab such that the tab is positioned between the cover plate and the second end of the threaded fastener, the threaded fastener being inserted until a first end of the threaded fastener is one of flush with an outer surface of the peripheral rim of the cover plate and inset from the outer surface.
