ABSTRACT:
A face plate for an electrical outlet which provides a safety covering for the socket receptacles. The face plate includes a base member which has an outer shell that can be positioned over the electrical outlet. A recessed compartment is located within the outer shell. A bottom wall of the recessed compartment has a pair of socket openings which can be aligned with a duplex socket receptacle of the electrical outlet. A removable insert member is snap-fit into the recessed compartment, and in conjunction with the outer shell forms a flush surface. The insert member includes a pair of covers which can be selectively opened in order to uncover each one of the socket openings. Cooperating portions on the base member and the insert member securely retain the insert member in the recessed compartment. Both the base member and the insert member are symmetrically formed so as to be reversably positionable with respect to each other.
