Abstract:
A mounting device for outdoor electrical outlets includes an upper plate and a lower plate arranged and interconnected in a generally V-shaped configuration, and is adapted for recessed installation into a power pedestal or other structure. The upper and lower plates may be contiguous along their inner edges. Alternatively, an intermediate plate may be disposed therebetween, giving the mounting device a trapezoidal configuration. Either or both of the upper and lower plates may be sloped, and side plates may extend between the side edges of the upper and lower plates. The upper plate has an aperture for an electrical outlet, which when installed in the aperture will face generally downward and thus be protected from rain and snow. The outer edges of the upper and lower plates, and of the side plates when present, may have mounting flanges to facilitate installation of the mounting device in a power pedestal.

Claim (Index 1):
A mounting device for an electrical outlet, said mounting device comprising:\n (a) an upper section having an inner edge, an outer edge, and opposing side edges extending between said inner and outer edges of the upper section, said upper section defining an aperture for mounting an electrical outlet; and (b) a lower section having an inner edge, an outer edge, and opposing side edges extending between said inner and outer edges of the lower section; wherein:\n (c) the upper and lower sections are contiguous along their respective inner edges; \n (d) the planes of the upper and lower sections are angled relative to each other; and \n (e) the mounting device is adapted for recessed mounting into a structure such that the aperture in the upper section is disposed at least partly within the structure.
