  • Patent number: 6649838
    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.
