Abstract
The subject invention is a protective safety cover for electrical outlets of the type affixed to the side of a wall or other building appurtenance. The subject outlet cover is a device to protect infant or young children from pulling electrical appliance plugs as inserted in electrical outlets, and comprises a solid plate member, said plate member being adapted to be inserted in place of or over the existing outlet cover. In addition, the subject plate member is provided with appropriately positioned circular openings which correspond in positioning to the respective plug receptacles. These circular openings are of sufficient diameter to receive a plug of an electrical appliance so as to enable same to reach the respective plug receptacles. Projecting outwardly from the circular openings in this plate member are hollow cylindrical members which are adapted to surround the plug when inserted position in the socket, the latter cylindrical member being adapted to cover the plug and its respective prongs when inserted in the plug receptacle.
