Abstract

A lockable electrical receptacle for connection to the front end of a three wire electrical cord or extension cord. A first embodiment has a cylindrical housing formed of plastic electrically non-conductive material having a pair of laterally spaced electrical prong apertures formed in its front wall surface. There is a chamber and channels in the structure of the housing for receiving the left blade prong terminal, the right blade prong terminal and the ground prong terminal that are in communication with the electrical plug apertures. The rear ends of the respective prong terminals are electrically connected to the front end of an electrical cord. A shaft having a front end extends outwardly from the left side wall of the housing. The shafts have structure formed in their periphery that allows a predetermined number of degrees of rotation to lock the blade prongs of a male electrical plug in the electrical plug apertures after they have been inserted therein. The lockable electrical receptacle can be structured to receive either a single male electrical plug or multiple electrical plugs.
