  • Patent number: 4840577
    Abstract: A releasing engaging means, which is manually manipulated, and is fixably attached over a typical female plug or receptacle that is connected to the mains is used to fixedly hold, a male plug into the receptacle and to inhibit its removal from the receptacle unless the releasing engaging means is manually manipulated, thus inhibiting erroneous removal of the plug as by pulling the cord to which it is attached. Specifically the mechanism provides a "hinged door" mounted in proximity and above the female receptacle. The plug passes through the doors as they swing open and the edge of the doors urge against the plug to hold it in the socket. The doors may be manipulated away from the plug by movement through integral extending tags that are integral to the doors which then release their frictional urging engagement with the plug.
