Abstract
The present invention provides a safety shield that can be fitted in an electrical receptacle, such as an outlet or a ground fault circuit interrupter, to cover the plug blade slots on the electrical receptacle. The safety shield comprises a base box containing a left sliding block, a right sliding block, small sliding block, and elastic components. If the plug blades are not inserted into the plug blade slots, the safety shield covers the plug blade slots to prevent unwanted objects from getting in touch with the electrical contacts within the plug blade slots causing electrical shock or damage to humans. If the plug blades are inserted into the plug blade slots, the elastic components within the base box are compressed to move the left sliding block outward to the left and the right sliding block outwards to the right so as to open the plug blade slots.
