ABSTRACT:
A plug lock for locking electric plugs is disclosed. The device comprises a case having a shaft. The shaft has a pair of inverted U-shaped cut portions that pivot outwardly. A lock gear is rotatably disposed within the shaft and engages the cut portions pushing them outwardly. A block cap is slidably disposed on the shaft. In its extended position, the block cap blocks the electric prongs' access to an electric socket. In this position, the lock gear is rotated so that the cut portions extend outwardly, preventing the lowering of the block cap. Lock drive means control rotation of the lock gear.
