Electrical device alignments
Examples of electrical devices are described herein. In some examples, an electrical device includes a yoke plate including a first screw hole and a second screw hole. The electrical device includes a base including a third screw hole disposed to permit passage of a first screw through the third screw hole and the first screw hole. The electrical device includes a subplate including a fourth screw hole disposed to permit a second screw to attach the subplate to the yoke plate through the fourth screw hole and the second screw hole. The subplate includes a channel to expose the third screw hole to a facial side of the subplate.
1 . An electrical device, comprising:
a yoke plate comprising a first screw hole and a second screw hole;
a base comprising a third screw hole disposed to permit passage of a first screw through the third screw hole and the first screw hole; and
a subplate comprising a fourth screw hole disposed to permit a second screw to attach the subplate to the yoke plate through the fourth screw hole and the second screw hole, wherein the subplate comprises a channel to expose the third screw hole to a facial side of the subplate and to permit tool access while the subplate remains attached to the yoke plate,
wherein the subplate comprises a window to frame a button that is attached to the base, and wherein the channel is an extension of the window and permits passage of a screwdriver to adjust a tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate such that adjusting the tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate permits positioning of the base relative to the subplate while the subplate is attached to the yoke plate, and
wherein the base and the subplate are distinct structural members each directly fastened to the yoke plate by separate fasteners.
2 . The electrical device of claim 1 , wherein the second screw hole is threaded, and wherein the first screw hole and the third screw hole are unthreaded.
3 . The electrical device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises a screw hole to permit passage of the first screw, and wherein the circuit board is disposed between the base and the yoke plate.
4 . The electrical device of claim 1 , further comprising a device box, wherein the device box comprises a screw hole to permit attachment of the first screw, and wherein the device box is disposed on a back side of the yoke plate.
5 . The electrical device of claim 1 , wherein the yoke plate further comprises a fifth screw hole to permit passage of a third screw to attach the yoke plate to a wall box.
6 . A device kit, comprising:
a yoke plate comprising a first screw hole and a second screw hole;
a base comprising a third screw hole disposed to permit passage of a first screw through the third screw hole and the first screw hole;
a subplate comprising a fourth screw hole disposed to permit a second screw to attach the subplate to the yoke plate through the fourth screw hole and the second screw hole, wherein the subplate comprises a channel to expose the first screw to a facial side of the subplate and to permit tool access while the subplate remains attached to the yoke plate,
wherein the subplate comprises a window to frame a button when the device kit is assembled, and wherein the channel is an extension of the window and permits passage of a screwdriver to adjust a tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate such that adjusting the tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate permits positioning of the base relative to the subplate while the subplate is attached to the yoke plate,
wherein the base and the subplate are distinct structural members each directly fastened to the yoke plate by separate fasteners; and
a faceplate comprising a snap feature to attach the faceplate to the subplate, wherein the base and the subplate are distinct structural members each directly fastened to the yoke plate by separate fasteners.
7 . The device kit of claim 6 , wherein the second screw hole is threaded, and wherein the first screw hole and the third screw hole are unthreaded.
8 . The device kit of claim 6 , further comprising a circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises a screw hole to permit passage of the first screw, and wherein the circuit board is disposed between the base and the yoke plate.
9 . The device kit of claim 6 , further comprising a device box, wherein the device box comprises a screw hole to permit attachment of the first screw, and wherein the device box is disposed on a back side of the yoke plate when the device kit is assembled.
10 . The device kit of claim 6 , wherein the yoke plate further comprises a fifth screw hole to permit passage of a third screw to attach the yoke plate to a wall box.
11 . The electrical device of claim 1 , wherein a loosened state of the first screw enables aligning of a structure related to the base.
12 . The device kit of claim 6 , wherein a loosened state of the first screw enables aligning of a structure related to the base.
