Abstract

See full text

A spring mounts a protective cover on an electrical outlet connector body for non-sliding, swinging movement along an arcuate path between a plug-blocking position, in which the cover blocks slots formed in the connector body, and a plug-passing position, in which openings in the cover are aligned with the connector slots. The spring includes an anchored portion securely mounted on the connector and a movable cantilever portion which is inclined relative to the anchored portion, and which is dimensioned so as to maintain the cover out of frictional engagement with the connector body between the aforementioned positions. Manual displacement of the cover is facilitated by the reduction of frictional drag.
