Abstract
An electrical receptacle cover which can be movably secured to an electrical receptacle. The cover is constructed to have a deformable spring portion which will deflect and move with reference to the receptacle upon application of an external load against the cover. This deflection and movement will absorb the energy of the impact thereby reducing the load transferred to the receptacle and prevent damage thereto.
