Electrical Plug Cover

摘要

An electrical plug cover is an apparatus that protects a user from accidentally contacting the exposed prongs of an electrical plug. The electrical plug cover occludes the metal blades or prongs of an electrical plug while the plug is being inserted into or removed from an electrical socket or when improperly inserted into an electrical socket. The apparatus accomplishes this through a flexible low profile cover that partially surrounds the exposed prongs when they are being inserted into the electrical socket. The flexible low profile cover is positioned on the interfacing surface of an existing electrical plug that becomes coincident with the interfacing surface of an electrical socket. The electrical plug cover is compressed between the interfacing surfaces of the electrical plug and the electrical socket. The compression of the electrical plug cover allows the prongs to effectively engage the electrical socket, while limiting exposure to a user.
