Projections on face electrical receptacle for preventing inadvertent tripping of test switch by oversized electrical plug

An electrical receptacle, comprising:

• (a) a receptacle body having electrical elements disposed therein for making electrical contact with an electrical plug of various diameter sizes and electrical contacts disposed therein for operation between open and closed conditions, said receptacle body having a face with at least one set of apertures formed therein for receiving prongs of the plug for mating of the plug with the receptacle;
• (b) at least one switch having opposite ends and one side extending between said opposite ends, said at least one switch being mounted to said face of said receptacle body such that said one side is disposed adjacent to said one set of apertures and being actuatable to affect operation of said electrical contacts between said open and closed conditions;
• and
• (c) a pair of projections each made of a substantially rigid material and mounted to said face of said receptacle body adjacent to one of said opposite ends of said at least one switch and protruding therefrom, said pair of projections extending outwardly and having heights from said face of said receptacle body greater than that of said at least one switch such that when said electrical plug having an oversized diameter is mated with said receptacle said electrical plug will engage and be supported at least at two locations by said pair of projections and thereby be prevented from making contact with said at least one switch sufficient to cause tripping thereof and thereby avoid inadvertent actuation of said at least one switch.
