ABSTRACT:
A device for preventing the unauthorized removal of electrical appliances having a cord terminating in a plug with two prongs having aligned holes therethrough, comprises an enclosure adapted to be opened and closed and having holes through a side wall thereof of a size to permit the insertion of the prongs through the holes but to prevent insertion of the plug through the holes. The enclosure is locked against unauthorized opening. A spring clip within the enclosure is removably engageable within the holes through the prongs and releasably retains the prongs within the enclosure. The enclosure comprises two portions hingedly interconnected, and the lock releasably retains these two portions closed together. The enclosure comprises polygonal channels which, when closed together, form a polygonal enclosure of closed polygonal cross-sectional configuration, preferably rectangular, for example square.
