  • Patent number: 6031183
    Abstract: An electrical outlet cover, cord, and plug combination includes a wall plate covering a wall outlet and receiving a cover thereover to preclude access by children. In one embodiment of the invention, the cover is slidably received on the base plate, while another embodiment teaches the cover being hingedly secured thereto. Electrical plugs for receipt by the outlet have the cord extending radially therefrom with respect to the prongs of the plugs. The cord extends at an oblique angle with respect to a line interconnecting the plugs such that the plugs and cords present a flat attitude at the outlet. Standard plug and cord assemblies may achieve the attitude by implementation of an adaptor. The electrical plugs according to the invention provide receptacles such that the male and female interconnecting portions interlock within a substantially circular wall to retard disengagement. A shim washer, having tapered cross section, is provided to assure that the wall plate and wall properly align.
