The present invention is a shield for an electrical outlet assembly typically located in a wall opening which has at least one plug receptacle and a fastening aperture. The shield comprises a base plate which is securable to an electrical outlet assembly and has openings to permit electrical cords to plug into receptacles when the base plate is secured to the electrical outlet. A cover, cooperates with the base plate, and has an open position enabling access to the plug receptacles, and a closed position wherein the cover together with the base plate define an enclosed space. The enclosed space is of sufficient size to house the outlet assembly and any conventional plugs inserted in the receptacles. The cover slidably engages the base plate in a given direction from an open position to a closed position and vice versa. The slidably engaging mechanism provides resistance to removing the cover in other directions. There is also passageway through the shield dimensioned for the passage of one or more electrical cords out of the shield. The passageway is defined by the base plate or the cover or both, and in the closed position the outlet assembly and plugs are covered by the shield with the cords emanating from the passageway. |
