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