Abstract
An electric plug locking device (10), which remains affixed to an electric plug (13) for preventing unsupervised use of electrical equipment, has an upper housing member (11) movably mounted to a lower housing member (12). The upper housing member which has an opening (23) for receiving a plug terminal (15) moves from a position that shields the terminal to prevent it from being inserted into an electrical socket to a position that unshields the plug terminal to permit it to be inserted into the socket.
