ABSTRACT:
An electrical outlet safety cover is made in three simple pieces: a four walled body, a cap having cord egress slots, and a small closure slidably insertable into and removable from the four walled body. The closure optionally provides top or bottom cord egress, the cap slots providing frontal and partial side egress. The cap entraps the body and small closure upon assembly, assembly being secured by a screw, threaded through the cap and engaging preexisting threads in the electrical outlet. The safety cover components are uncomplicated and inexpensive, yet rugged. The body is selectively positioned to provide different cord egress configurations. Electrical cords are not constrained to describe sharp bends within the cover, and may not be pulled laterally so as to bend the cord plug prongs.
