Abstract: An electrical plug and receptacle having safety features is provided. The plug includes a body, at least two conductors, and a skirt. The conductors extend from the body and are laterally surrounded by the skirt. The skirt is retractable into the body so that when the plug is used with a conventional receptacle, the skirt retracts into the body as the conductors are inserted the sockets of the receptacle, shielding a user from inadvertently touching the conductors. The plug further includes a toggle stop that locks the skirt into its fully extended position for using the plug with a safety electrical outlet assembly of the present invention. The safety outlet assembly includes a cover and a receptacle adapted to be secured to an electrical junction box. The receptacle has a receiver adapted to matingly engage the skirt on the safety plug.

Abstract: The invention comprises a combination stabilizer/drawlock device adapted for use with an overdraw arrow rest in archery and bowhunting. The stabilizer/drawlock device includes an elongated mounting bracket having near its forward end a bolt slot for attaching the bracket to an archery bow's handle, and having intermediate its forward and rearward ends a support for an overdraw arrow rest that permits the arrow rest to be positioned at a selectable distance to the rear of the bow's handle. The device further includes a draw tube attached to the rearward end of the mounting bracket and a draw rod in telescoping engagement with the draw tube. The draw tube can be attached to the bow at a selectable angle or permitted to pivot freely to align with the axis of the arrow between nock point and arrow rest after vertical adjustment to a tuned nocking point. The back end of the draw rod supports a bow string mechanical release.
