Sliding cover for electrical sockets

An electrical socket cover, comprising:

• a base plate mounted on an electrical receptacle having a plurality of electrical sockets, the base plate having a plurality of apertures for exposing the plurality of electrical sockets, respectively;
• a cover plate when in a closed position substantially covers the plurality of electrical sockets;
• a pair of grooves formed on the cover plate that fit two edges on the base plate for allowing the cover plate to slidably engage the base plate;
• and
• a locking assembly, comprising a pin slidably engaging the base plate through an opening thereon, the walls of the opening being substantially perpendicular to the base plate, and the sliding being substantially entirely linear, a spring mounted on the base plate for urging the pin toward the cover plate, and an opening on the cover plate for accommodating the pin,
• wherein when in the closed position a first end of the pin is inserted in the opening of the cover plate for locking the cover plate, and when the pin is pressed away from the cover plate, the cover plate is unlocked and slidable to an open position for exposing one or more of the plurality of electrical sockets.
