Receptacle cover

1. A clip module for a receptacle cover comprising:

a first transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a first conductive portion of a face plate and to a first power line of an electrical receptacle; and

a second transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a second conductive portion of a face plate and to a second power line of the electrical receptacle;

wherein the clip module is positioned between and electrically couples the face plate to the first and second power lines.

2. The clip module of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and the second transmission tabs is configured as an elongated, rigid or semi-flexible tab extending from an edge of the clip module.

3. The clip module of claim 2 , wherein the at least one transmission tab comprises one or more conductive surface structures configured to face a conductive portion of the electrical receptacle.

4. The clip module of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab are configured to couple to power lines of a light source incorporated within the face plate.

5. The clip module of claim 1 , wherein at least one transmission tab comprises one or more contact points configured to couple with opposing contact conductive surfaces of the face plate.

6. The clip module of claim 1 , further comprising circuitry configured to snap-fit around the electrical receptacle.

7. The clip module of claim 1 , wherein the face plate defines a connector aperture that exposes at least a portion of the electrical receptacle.

8. The clip module of claim 1 , wherein the face plate is configured to be received between the electrical receptacle and a decorative receptacle plate.

9. The clip module of claim 1 , further comprising a safety cover coupled to the face plate, wherein the safety cover is positioned over a screw used to join the face plate and the clip module.

10. The clip module of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab are removable from the clip module.

11. A cover for an electric receptacle, comprising:

a removable clip module comprising a first transmission tab configured to be in electrical communication with a first power line, a second transmission tab laterally spaced apart from the first transmission tab and configured to be in electrical communication with a second power line, and a circuit in communication with the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab;

a faceplate coupled to the removable clip module, the faceplate comprising one or more apertures configured to expose at least a portion of the electric receptacle; and

a device in communication with the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab;

wherein the removable clip module is positioned between and electrically couples the faceplate to the first power and second power lines.

12. The cover of claim 11 , wherein the device is incorporated within the faceplate.

13. The cover of claim 11 , wherein the faceplate is coupled to the clip module with a screw, and wherein a safety cover is positioned over the screw.

14. The cover of claim 13 , wherein the safety cover couples to the faceplate using a snap-on mechanism.

15. The cover of claim 11 , wherein the device is in communication with the circuit using the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab.

16. The cover of claim 15 , wherein the device is a light source, and wherein when an ambient light is at a first level the circuit activates the light source and when the ambient light is at a second level the circuit deactivates the light source.

17. The cover of claim 16 , further comprising a sensor in communication with circuit and configured to detect the ambient light.

18. The cover of claim 11 , wherein the electric receptacle is one of a power outlet or a switch receptacle.

19. The cover of claim 11 , wherein the at least one transmission tab comprises one or more conductive surface structures configured to face a conductive portion of the electrical receptacle.

20. A clip module for a receptacle cover comprising:

a first transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a first conductive portion of a face plate and to a first power line of an electrical receptacle;

a second transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a second conductive portion of a face plate and to a second power line of the electrical receptacle;

wherein the clip module is configured to snap-fit around the receptacle to electrically couple the clip module to the electrical receptacle.
