Abstract
An electrical plug safety device is disclosed having a first planar section having a first pair of holes therethrough, a second planar section having a second pair of holes therethrough, and a pair of collapsible passages each having a first opening joined to one of the first pair of holes of the first planar section and each having a second opening joined to one of the second pair of holes of the second planar section. Each of the pair of collapsible passages comprises a single constriction between the first opening and the second opening. Prongs of an electrical plug inserted through the collapsible passages are shielded from contact as the plug is connected or disconnected from an outlet.
