Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed herein that includes a housing, wherein the housing has a front and a back, wherein the housing includes first electrical receptacles, a switch, and a timer module. The first electrical receptacles are positioned on the front of the housing and are configured to receive first prongs of an electric plug, and the switch may be responsive to the timer. The apparatus can further include second prongs that correspond to the first electrical receptacles, wherein the second prongs re coupled to the housing and are configured to be received by second electrical receptacles of an outlet socket. The switch, when closed, is operative to electrically couple at least one of the first prongs with at least one of the second electrical receptacles. When open, the switch is operative to prevent electrical coupling of the at least one of the first prongs with the at least one of the second receptacles. The timer is operative to cause the switch to be opened and closed.
