• a housing outer cover, wherein the housing outer cover is in fixed operative connection with the base housing,
• wherein the housing outer cover includes a socket access opening,
• wherein the socket access opening is in overlying corresponding aligned relation with the electrical socket in the base housing,
• a rotatable plate, wherein the rotatable plate
• is rotatable about an axis
• is in operatively supported connection with the base housing,
• extends axially intermediate of the electrical socket and the housing outer cover,
• includes a plate outer face and a plate opening,
• wherein the plate opening is disposed radially away from the axis,
• is configured to be rotationally movable between
• a socket blocked position, wherein in the socket blocked position the outer face is positioned in blocking relation with the socket access opening and blocks access to the electrical socket through the socket access opening, and
• a socket access position, wherein in the socket access position the plate opening is corresponding aligned relation with each of the socket and the socket access opening, whereby the electrical socket is accessible to receive an electrical connector through the socket access opening and the plate opening,
• an electric motor, wherein the motor is housed within the base housing,
• wherein the motor is
• in operative connection with the plate, and
• selectively operable to cause the plate to rotate about the axis,
• a manually actuatable button, wherein the manually actuatable button is externally accessible at least one of on or through the outer cover,
• an electrical switch, wherein the electrical switch is
• housed within the base housing, and
• in operative connection with the manually actuatable button, wherein manual actuation of the button is operative to cause a change in electrical condition of the switch,
• a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is
• housed within the base housing,
• in operative connection with the switch, and
• in operative connection with the motor,
• wherein control circuit is operative to cause
• with the plate in the socket blocked position, responsive at least in part to a change in electrical condition of the switch responsive to button actuation, the motor to cause rotational movement of the plate to the socket access position, and
• with the plate in the socket access position, responsive at least in part to a further change in electrical condition of the switch responsive to further button actuation, the motor to cause rotation of the plate to the socket blocked position.

An apparatus configured to provide temporary releasable electrical connections, comprising:

• a base housing, wherein the base housing includes an electrical socket, wherein the electrical socket is configured to releasably electrically engage electrical connectors of electrically powered devices,

• a socket access position, wherein in the socket access position of the plate the electrical socket is accessible to receive an electrical connector through the socket access opening and to enable the electrical connector to engage the electrical socket,
• an electric motor, wherein the electric motor is housed within the base housing,
• wherein the motor is
• in operative connection with the plate, and is selectively operable to cause the plate to move between the socket blocked position and the socket access position,
• a manually actuatable button, wherein the manually actuatable button is externally accessible at least one of on or through the outer cover,
• an electrical switch, wherein the electrical switch
• is housed within the base housing, and
• in operative connection with the manually actuatable button, wherein manual button actuation is operative to cause a change in electrical condition of the switch,
• a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is
• housed within the base housing,
• in operative connection with the switch, and
• in operative connection with the motor,
• wherein the control circuit is operative to cause
• with the plate in the socket blocked position, responsive at least in part to a change in electrical condition of the switch responsive to button actuation, the motor to cause movement of the plate to the socket access position, and
• with the plate in the socket access position, responsive at least in part to a further change in electrical condition of the switch responsive to further button actuation, the motor to cause movement of the plate to the socket blocked position.
