Abstract: A new and improved safety outlet includes of a one-piece structure which is installed on a standard electrical receptacle in place of a standard receptacle cover. The electrical plugs installed in the outlets of the electrical receptacle are completely enclosed within the fire resistant and electrically insulating structure; baffles are incorporated into the rigid base to prevent an infant or young person from inserting a rigid object through the passages in the structure for electrical cords and thereby preventing contact with the electrical supply voltages; and three tabs spaced on three sides of the cover portion must be simultaneously pressed to allow the structure to be opened for access to the electrical plugs, thereby preventing access to the enclosed region and preventing contact with the electrical supply voltages.

Abstract: An element removal tool for use with transmission lines for fluids (such as natural gas) under pressure which permits replacement of the element, in a specific case the axle box which is coupled between a metering chamber and the indexing mechanism in a gas meter, in a fluid transmission system, without shutting off downstream-customer service, the problem of properly seating the axle box in the undergear which drives it, despite slow rotation of the driving mechanism in the metering chamber, being overcome by dual concentric shafts relatively rotatable and slidable with respect to each other, the inner shaft carrying a socket which engages, firmly, the rotatable indexing shaft of the axle box, the outer shaft carrying a socket which is adapted to firmly engage the flange of the axle box for removal and replacement of the axle box, each shaft having at its end remote from its respective socket, a knob for rotating that shaft, the outer shaft passing through and hermetically engaging a stuffing box, connected
