ABSTRACT:
A protective enclosure assembly for an electrical outlet having plug receptacles, having a baseplate which fits around the receptacles. The baseplate has a peripheral edge with notches arranged into two of the opposing edges. A transparent housing fits over the baseplate. The housing has a set of full tabs extending from one lower edge thereof, and a main locking and two small tabs extending from its opposite edge.
A set of slots are disposed through the housing wall, one slot between adjacent tabs on the multiple tab wall. The housing covers the receptacles when the housing walls are "pinched" so as to flex inwardly the walls, enabling the multiple tabs to mate with the notches on one edge of the baseplate, and enabling the one tab on the opposing wall of the housing to scamp into a notch on the opposing edge of the baseplate edge.
The baseplate then safely encloses any electrical cords plugged into the plug receptacles, the cords extending through the slots in one of the sidewalls of the housing. Any pulling on the cords causing the enclosure to lock more firmly into the notches because they are on the same sidewall of the housing.
