ABSTRACT:
A safety cover for use on electrical outlets includes a cap member which is releasably secured to a cowl member which encircles the electrical outlet. The cap member must be forced toward the electrical outlet and rotated to remove the cap from the cowl. A slot in the cowl wall allows passage of a plug cord while the cap is received on the cowl. Thus, the cap and cowl combination enclose the electrical outlet when a plug is received in the outlet, or when no plug is received in the outlet. Several embodiments of the connection between the cowl and cap are disclosed.
