MY DEVICE IS AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET PLUG PROTECTOR. IT IS A COVER SLOTTED ON TWO ENDS AND FITTING THROUGH A RIDGED BASE PIECE THAT ATTACHES TO A EXISTING WALL OUTLET COVER. THE SLOTTED COVER ALLOWS CORDS TO PASS THROUGH WHILE RESTRAINING PLUGS IN AN OUTLET. THE COVER IS ADJUSTABLE AND EASILY REMOVEDIREPLACED BY AN ADULT AND RIGID ENOUGH TO DISCOURAGE YOUNGER CHILDREN FROM ATTEMPTING TO TRY AND REMOVE/REPLAGE THE PLUG POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY BY ELECTROCUTION. THE BASE PIECE WILL ATTACH, EITHER PERMANENTLY OR TEMPORARILY TO THE OUTLET COVER AND CONTAIN A SERIES OF RIDGES ON ITS OUTER EDGE. THIS BASE PIECE WILL FIT BETWEEN BOTH UPPER AND LOWER SOCKETS, BEING SECURED BY A SCREW, POSSIBLY THE SCREW ALREADY ATTACHING THE OUTLET COVER PLATE TO THE EXISTING SOCKET. THE SLOTTED COVER WILL SLIDE DOWN THE BASE PIECE, WITH MINIMAL EFFORT, TO THE DESIRED POSITION OR TOP OF THE PLUG THEREBY HOLDING THE PLUG FIRMLY IN THE SOCKET. THIS SLIDING ACTION WILL PRODUCE A "CLICKING" SOUND THEREBY LETTING THE USER KNOW THE COVER HAS BEEN LOCKED IN PLACE. THE COVER WILL BE REMOVED TO REGAIN ACCESS TO THE PLUGS BY SQUEEZING THE BASE PIECE TOGETHER. THE DESIGN WILL ALLOW DIFFERENT SIZED PLUGS TO BE USED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DEVICE MAY BE SET TO ITS LOWEST POSTION TO COVER BOTH SLOTS ON EACH OUTLET WHEN NO PLUGS ARE IN USE.
