Abstract

A safety socket device includes a base having two conductor bars, and two female contact strips for receiving prongs of plugs. A conductor member and a conductor element are disposed between the conductor bars and each includes two switches located on the sides of the female contact strips, for selectively and electrically coupling to the conductor bars and the female contact strips together. The female contact strips may be electrically coupled to the conductor bars only when the four switches are actuated by the prongs of the plug simultaneously, to prevent the insertion of foreign objects into the safety socket device by infants and small children.
