ABSTRACT:
A safety cover for sockets includes a cover body having a recess in a first side thereof and two spaced blades extending outward from the recess and being perpendicular to the cover body. The blades are adapted to engage with two slits of a socket. A clip extends from the cover body and pivotable at an end thereof adjacent to the cover body. The clip includes a pair of substantially L-shaped members each with a flexible distal end extending toward each other to define a passage having width slightly less than that of a wire of the plug, such that the safety cover clips on the wire of the plug when not in use. The distance between the L-shaped members is less than that between the blades. The cover body includes two cutouts to allow a pivotal movement of the L-shaped members into the recess. The recess has two spaced protrusions extending outward from a periphery thereof which is opposite to the cutouts to retain the L-shaped members when the clip is stored in the recess.
