ABSTRACT:
A modified wall plate for a standard toggle switch outlet is equipped with an arm or lever adapted to slide on the plate. The arm or lever is provided with a hollowed protuberance extending outwardly from the front face of the arm and arranged to receive and enclose the actuating finger of a standard toggle switch when the modified wall plate is attached at an existing wall outlet for the switch. The arm or lever is equipped with a detachable rod extending to a substantial distance below the bottom of the wall plate to a level within reach of a small child, thus enabled to safely operate the switch.
