ABSTRACT:
A one piece drapery guard for attachment to an electrical wall outlet which serves to hold hanging drapes away from the outlet as a safety fire preventive measure is disclosed. The drapery guard has two major elements, the first being a holding flange adapted to be operably attached to the electrical wall outlet and the second a drapery shield extending outward of the electrical wall outlet to engage the drapes. The holding flange is secured under the electrical outlet face plate and has an evacuated "T" slot formed therein to receive mounting hardware of the electrical wall outlet to help secure the guard when pressure is brought upon it by the fastening down of the face plate. The shield portion includes an opening adapted to accommodate the electrical cords of electrical plugs utilizing the electrical wall outlet as the cords drop to the floor.
