Abstract
An electric extension cord receptacle includes side recesses to aid in grasping the receptacle while removing electric plugs from the receptacle. Two safety flaps attached to the receptacle body by living hinges pivot to cover unused electric sockets in the receptacle. The hinges are undercut to create preferred fold lines to properly register plastic plugs on the safety flaps with receiving slots in the electric sockets.
