• a main panel for placement over at least a portion of an electrical socket or switch;
• a plurality of panels connected to and extending laterally from the main panel including a first panel connected to and extending laterally from the main panel, a second panel connected to and extending laterally from the main panel in spaced opposition to said first panel, a third panel connected to and extending laterally from the main panel between said first panel and said second panel, and a fourth panel connected to and extending laterally from the main panel between said first panel and said second panel, said fourth panel being in spaced opposition to said third panel, and said panels defining a recess for receiving at least a portion of a socket or switch to cover at least a portion of said electrical socket or switch;
• and
• biasing means for biasing at least two opposed panels of said apparatus into clamping engagement with at least a portion of an electrical socket or switch received in said recess to releasably maintain the apparatus in position on the electrical socket or switch, said biasing means including at least one flexible accordion pleat formed in said main panel and in at least two opposed panels.
