ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for an electricity supply outlet provides a body, a peg slidingly retained in the body, a spring urging against the peg, a disk fixedly secured to the body to retain the spring therein and a pair of spaced apart tongues insertable into passages of the electrical supply outlet. The protective cover has a smooth non-graspable periphery. The peg is rotatable from a first position where a top end thereof is flush with a top face of the body to a second position where it partially extends beyond the top face of the body thereby permitting access to a slot defined in the peg such that a pin of an electrical appliance plug may be inserted therein to remove the protective cover from the electricity supply outlet without the use of extra or specialized tools.
