Abstract
The present invention relates to a safety device and dust protection for a power strip which mainly includes a housing on which each outlet has two opposing parallel side frames each of which includes a slide rail. A hot, a neutral and a ground slots are disposed between both side frames on the housing. Also, a covering piece includes three slots corresponding to the hot, neutral and ground slots. The covering piece is fitted between both side frames in such a way that a complete surface is formed. The covering piece can be shifted for a certain distance to cover all of the electric slots. When the covering piece and both side frames form a complete surface of an outlet, all of the electric slots are free in a use state. To the contrary, the electric slots are covered in a closed state.
