ABSTRACT:
A PROTECTIVE ELECTRICAL OUTLET COVER for helping prevent electrical cords from being pulled from an electrical outlet. The device includes a base plate having a pair of receptacle openings for aligning adjacent the electrical receptacles of an electrical outlet. A cover box is hingedly coupled at one of its end walls of its perimeter wall to one of the end edges of the base plate to permit pivoting of the cover box between an open position and a closed position in relation to the base plate. When in the closed position, the base plate substantially covers the cover box interior space. Another of the end walls of the cover box perimeter wall is detachably coupled to another of the end edges of the base plate when the cover box is positioned in the closed position. Additionally, through each side wall of the cover box perimeter wall are a pair of spaced apart cord slots designed for permitting extension of an electrical cord therethrough.
