Abstract
Abstract A fascia assembly (10, 20) for an electrical junction housing comprises a fascia (20) with an aperture therein and a connection module (10) having resilient location means (14, 15, 17) adapted to co-operate with the edges of the aperture releasably to locate the module in the aperture with the module flush with the fascia. The module has a plug-receiving aperture (12a) which is shuttered by a shutter (13) on the module. The connection module may carry any desired connector, for example, a socket for a telephone jack plug, and different modules can carry different connector types.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A fascia assembly for an electrical junction housing which assembly comprises a fascia with an aperture therein and a connection module having a front plate carrying resilient location means adapted to co-operate with the edges of the aperture releasably to locate tne module in the aperture, the fascia having a formation around the aperture against which the rear of the front plate bears such that the front face of the front plate is flush with the fascia.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A fascia assembly for an electrical junction housing which assembly comprises a fascia with an aperture therein and a connection module having a front plate carrying resilient location means adapted to co-operate with the edges of the aperture releasably to locate tne module in the aperture, the fascia having a formation around the aperture against which the rear of the front plate bears such that the front face of the front plate is flush with the fascia.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
