Abstract

A wall anchor cover assembly comprises a securing frame further including a first side and a second side, the securing frame further including an aperture for exposing an object about which the securing frame is mounted and at least one raised channel disposed peripherally about the centrally disposed aperture, the securing frame further including a first continuously formed peripheral edge, the continuously formed peripheral edge including at least a first top groove and at least a first bottom groove, and a cover plate including a first outer side further including a top edge region including a top recess and a bottom edge region including a bottom recess, the top recess and the bottom recess mating with the first top groove and at least one of the first bottom groove of the securing frame.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wall anchor cover assembly comprising:
 a securing frame further including:
 a first side having a substantially flat surface for flush mounting against a wall and a second side opposite the first side, the securing frame further including an aperture for exposing an object about which the securing frame is mounted and a raised channel disposed peripherally about the aperture, the securing frame further including a first continuously formed peripheral edge, the first continuously formed peripheral edge including a first top edge region further including at least a first top groove and a first bottom edge region further including at least a first bottom groove; and 
   a cover plate including:
 an outer side; 
 an interior side opposite the outer side; and 
 a second continuously formed peripheral edge further including a second top edge region, the second top edge region including a top recess, and a second bottom edge region, the second bottom edge region including a bottom recess, the top recess and the bottom recess mating with the first top groove and the first bottom groove, respectively, to provide tool-less removable coupling of the cover plate and the securing frame. 
   
     
     
         2 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the aperture is centrally disposed within the securing frame. 
     
     
         3 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein an area encompassed by the aperture is be equal to or less than an area surrounding the aperture. 
     
     
         4 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the aperture is great enough to provide access to an object about which the securing frame is mounted. 
     
     
         5 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the raised channel includes a continuously formed raised channel edge. 
     
     
         6 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first continuously formed peripheral edge is substantially perpendicular to the first and second surfaces of the securing frame and is formed as a lip or skirt edge that extends generally away from a wall or surface onto which the securing frame is being mounted. 
     
     
         7 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the top edge region of the continuously formed peripheral edge further includes a second top groove. 
     
     
         8 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge region of the first continuously formed peripheral edge further includes a second bottom groove. 
     
     
         9 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the securing frame further includes one or more slits disposed along the bottom edge region of the first continuously formed peripheral edge. 
     
     
         10 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the securing frame further includes one or more directional arrows formed with an interior surface of the securing frame indicating proper orientation of the securing frame. 
     
     
         11 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the top recess and the bottom recess are disposed substantially centrally within the top edge region and the bottom edge region respectively of the cover plate. 
     
     
         12 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cover plate covers substantially the entirety of the securing frame and an object about which the securing frame is mounted when the cover plate is coupled with the securing frame. 
     
     
         13 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the second continuously formed peripheral edge is substantially perpendicular to first and second surfaces of the cover plate and is formed as a lip or skirt edge that extends generally toward a wall or surface onto which the securing frame is mounted. 
     
     
         14 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the second continuously formed peripheral edge of the cover plate at least partially contacts the first continuously formed peripheral edge of the securing frame when the cover plate is coupled with the securing frame. 
     
     
         15 . The wall anchor cover assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cover plate is at least partially convex.
