A spring loaded cover for indoor receptacles such as an electrical outlet is provided to prevent damage to the receptacle and electric shock to children resulting from insertion of objects into an electrical receptacle. The cover has a base plate having longitudinal flanges extending from its top surface. A cover plate has longitudinal slots which coact with the flanges of the base plate to allow the cover plate to slide relative to the base plate. Springs force the cover plate to a closed and locked position upon release, or upon removal of a plug from the receptacle. Stops on the cover and base plates limit the travel of the cover plate, and resilient locking device engages the cover plate when in the covered position. |
