  • Locking outlet cover and method of use
    Patent number: 7338309
    Abstract: The locking outlet cover is designed to protect electrical outlets from children. It includes an plate that attaches to a regular electrical receptacle. The plate then comprises a slide channel that is located above and below each outlet opening. On the slide channel is a round housing that is divided into two sliding cover halves. These two sliding cover halves extend outward from the outlet and slide along the slide channels to open and close. By moving the two sliding cover halves to an open position, an electrical plug can be inserted. Then the two sliding cover halves are moved to a closed position around the electrical cord.
