ELECTRICAL SOCKET

An electrical socket device incorporating at least one spool constructed to receive the prongs of an electrical plug. The spool is rotationally displaceable and coacts with the remainder of the socket structure such that the plug prongs can be locked in place upon suitable rotational displacement of the spool, and this for the purpose of providing direct electrical connection as between the plug prongs and the electrical terminals or contact of a socket construction. A socket construction is made such that there is no electrical connection as between the plug prongs and the socket electrical contacts until the prongs of a particular plug are inserted in the aforementioned rotatable spool and the spool depressed and rotated. The construction affords many safety features for children so that metal items, inadvertently positioned through the prong holes of the spool, cannot make electrical connection until after the spool is both depressed and rotationally displaced.
