ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for electric sockets consists of a base plate having openings to fit the individual electric receptacles and an opening to receive the mounting screw to secure the base plate in place of the usual socket cover plate. A box-shaped cover is hingedly connected on one side of the base plate and is opened to permit installation and removal of electric plugs in said receptacles. The box-shaped cover has slots extending along the side and top thereof through which the cords may extend from the plugs secured in said electric receptacles. The base plate and box-shaped cover have matching fasteners to secure the cover against being easily opened by a child. The hinged connection of the cover to the base plate may be separate hinge members pivotally secured together or may be a one-piece flexible hinge of the type known as a "living" hinge.
