ABSTRACT:
A duplex plug for protecting conventional duplex electrical outlets, has dielectric caps connected by a flexible, generally S-shaped tether. Each cap has projecting prongs that fit the outlet receptacle, and the tether may have an aperture for deteachably securing it to a center mounting hole of the electrical outlet by means of a mounting screw. Use of the center mounting hole attachment is optional. The length and shape of the S-shaped tether are adapted to permit convenient biasing of a cap laterally away from one electrical receptacle.
