Abstract: The electrical outlet with safety guard prevents children from inserting improper conductors, such as hairpins or paper clips, into the outlet. The outlet has an outlet body, a plurality of sockets within the body, a plurality of resilient gates pivotally attached to the body within the sockets, and a plurality of terminals at the ends of the sockets. The plug is inserted into the sockets, and the prongs are confronted with the resilient gates. Upon further pressure from the prongs, the gates pivot into cavities defined between the open end of the sockets and the terminals, so that the prongs make electrical contact with the conductors. The gates are sufficiently stiff that pins, paper clips, and other objects are deflected away from the terminals by the gates.

Abstract: The electrical outlet with safety guard prevents children from inserting improper conductors, such as hairpins or paper clips, into the outlet. The outlet has an outlet body made from an electrically non-conductive material, a plurality of slots defining sockets within the body, a plurality of resilient gates pivotally attached to the body within the slots, and a plurality of terminals at the ends of the slots. The plug is inserted into the slots, and the prongs are confronted with the resilient gates. Upon further pressure from the prongs, the gates pivot into cavities defined between the open end of the slots and the terminals, so that the prongs make electrical contact with the conductors. The gates are sufficiently stiff that pins, paper clips, and other objects children may play with are deflected away from the terminals by the gates.

Abstract: A fabricated baseplate for electrical installations including a continuous insulative plastic device placed adjacent a floor of any room for insertion of any inlet plug of an appliance at any position in a room. The device has three parallel frontal indentations with each indentation containing a continuous necked electrical contact strip installed during the extrusion of the device. A support bracket is installed along a wall proximate the floor for positioning and securing the device which has cooperating protuberances in a top rear cavity. The device also has a bottom trough for installation of any electrical cables.
