ABSTRACT:
A cover for an electrical outlet is provided to prevent electric shock to children resulting from insertion of objects into an electrical receptacle. The cover has a base plate having rails extending from its top surface, and a peripheral wall extending from its bottom surface defining a flange. A cover plate has longitudinal slots which coact with the flanges of the base plate to allow the cover plate to slide relative to the base plate. Stop means on the cover and base plates limit the travel of the cover plate, and resilient locking means engage the cover plate when in the covered position.
