ABSTRACT:
A safety outlet module includes a housing, a receptacle defined by the housing, an aperture defined within the receptacle, a cover slidably retained within the receptacle and a plug retained at least partially within the housing. The receptacle has an opening, a bottom and a wall extending between the opening and the bottom. The aperture partially extends along the wall. The cover has a closed position proximate the opening and an open position proximate the bottom. The aperture is blocked in the closed position and exposed in the open position. The plug extends from a housing face and is adapted to removably connect to an electrical power source. A contact is retained by the housing outside of the receptacle and proximate to the aperture, and a buss internal to the housing connects the plug to the contact.
