ABSTRACT:
A child-proof outlet cover includes a base mountable over an electrical outlet faceplate and a pair of caps attached to the base with flexible strips. The caps are retained in the closed position on upstanding walls around openings in the base, which provide access to the outlet sockets. The caps include spaced-apart teeth and the walls include spaced-apart shoulders which engage in the closed position and prevent removal of the cap by a small child. A resilient sheet in the cap biases the teeth and shoulders into engagement. Depression of the cap toward the base followed by rotation are required for cap removal.
