ABSTRACT:
A safety cover of simple and economical construction which will automatically return from an inactive position to a covering position responsive to removal of a plug from the related socket openings. This is accomplished by spring-leading the cover by a leaf spring element, preferably made integral at one of its ends with the cover. The leaf spring is anchored to the body of the end connector and extends at approximately a right angle to the cover. To move the cover from safety position to inactive position, it is pushed endwise in the direction of the leaf spring element, thereby bending and biasing the latter away from the end connector housing to which it remains attached. When the plug is later disconnected from the end connector, the biased leaf spring element returns the cover to the safety position.
