Abstract
A simplex receptacle body (102) includes a front portion (108) with a front surface (104) and a rear surface (106). Terminals (110) extend through the front portion (108). A
clip (138) is "snap-fit" on a rear housing (132), so as to provide waterproofing.

Claims (11)
1. An electrical receptacle assembly having at least one receptacle, said receptacle configuration comprising:
a main receptacle body, having a plurality of terminals therein for receiving an electrical plug or the like of an electrical device to be energized;
a plurality of electrical wires or cables, numbering the same as the number of electrical terminals associated with the main receptacle body, and adapted to provide electrical power when said electrical wires or cables are electrically coupled to the main receptacle body;
a rear housing forming an enclosure and adapted to be secured to a rear surface of said main receptacle body, said rear housing having means for receiving said electrical wires or cables, but being of a size and configuration so as to essentially prevent any water seepage into said housing; and a waterproofing clip having a resilient configuration and adapted to be snap fitted around said rear housing and coupled to said main receptacle body so as to appropriately secure said rear housing to said main receptacle body.
a main receptacle body, having a plurality of terminals therein for receiving an electrical plug or the like of an electrical device to be energized;
a plurality of electrical wires or cables, numbering the same as the number of electrical terminals associated with the main receptacle body, and adapted to provide electrical power when said electrical wires or cables are electrically coupled to the main receptacle body;
a rear housing forming an enclosure and adapted to be secured to a rear surface of said main receptacle body, said rear housing having means for receiving said electrical wires or cables, but being of a size and configuration so as to essentially prevent any water seepage into said housing; and a waterproofing clip having a resilient configuration and adapted to be snap fitted around said rear housing and coupled to said main receptacle body so as to appropriately secure said rear housing to said main receptacle body.
2. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said assembly comprises a simplex receptacle.
3. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said plurality of terminals comprise ground, neutral and hot terminals.
4. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said main receptacle body includes a connecting mount.
5. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said electrical wires or cables comprise a ground wire, a neutral wire and a hot wire.
6. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that a pair of female connectors are coupled to at least two of said electrical wires or cables.
7. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said electrical wires or cables comprise a ground wire, and a ground connector is electrically connected to said ground wire.
8. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said rear housing comprises an upper box and a main housing body.
9. An electrical receptacle assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that said clip comprises:
an upper portion extending lengthwise;
a pair of vertically connecting portions extending from opposing ends downwardly from said upper portion; and a pair of resilient legs extending forwardly from lower ends of said vertically connecting portions.
an upper portion extending lengthwise;
a pair of vertically connecting portions extending from opposing ends downwardly from said upper portion; and a pair of resilient legs extending forwardly from lower ends of said vertically connecting portions.
10. A waterproof simplex receptacle comprising:
a simplex receptacle body comprising a front portion, with said front portion having a front surface and a rear surface;
a plurality of terminals extending through said simplex receptacle body, said terminals comprising ground, neutral and hot terminals;
electrical wires or cables comprising a ground wire, a neutral wire and a hot wire;
a plurality of connectors, comprising a pair of female connectors, each connected to one of said neutral wire and said hot wire, and a ground connector connected to said ground wire;
a rear housing adapted to be secured to said rear surface of said simplex receptacle body; and a connecting clip having a resilient configuration and adapted to be snap fitted around said rear housing and coupled to said simplex receptacle body, so as to secure said rear housing to said simplex receptacle body in a manner which prevents water seepage into said rear housing.
a simplex receptacle body comprising a front portion, with said front portion having a front surface and a rear surface;
a plurality of terminals extending through said simplex receptacle body, said terminals comprising ground, neutral and hot terminals;
electrical wires or cables comprising a ground wire, a neutral wire and a hot wire;
a plurality of connectors, comprising a pair of female connectors, each connected to one of said neutral wire and said hot wire, and a ground connector connected to said ground wire;
a rear housing adapted to be secured to said rear surface of said simplex receptacle body; and a connecting clip having a resilient configuration and adapted to be snap fitted around said rear housing and coupled to said simplex receptacle body, so as to secure said rear housing to said simplex receptacle body in a manner which prevents water seepage into said rear housing.
11. A waterproof simplex receptacle in accordance with claim 10, characterized in that said clip comprises:
an upper portion extending lengthwise across said clip;
a pair of vertical connecting portions, each of said connecting portions extending downwardly from an opposing end of said upper portion; and a pair of resilient spring legs, each of said legs extending forwardly from a different one of the lower end of a vertical connecting portion.
an upper portion extending lengthwise across said clip;
a pair of vertical connecting portions, each of said connecting portions extending downwardly from an opposing end of said upper portion; and a pair of resilient spring legs, each of said legs extending forwardly from a different one of the lower end of a vertical connecting portion.
