Abstract:
1. A safety gate for selectively covering socket holes of an electrical outlet, the safety gate comprising: an upper slide plate comprising an upper recessed platform, an upper space, and an upper slant; and a lower slide plate comprising a lower slant, a lower space, and a lower recessed platform, wherein: the upper space and the lower space are configured to allow load plug pins to pass through, and the upper space and the lower space are spaced apart to correspond to an interval of space between the load plug pins, the upper recessed platform is on a first side of the upper space and the upper slant is on an opposed side of the upper space, the lower slant is on a first side of the lower space and the lower recessed platform is on an opposed side of the lower space, a slope of the upper slant and a slope of the lower slant are in the same direction, the upper slide plate is stacked with the lower slide plate such that the upper recessed platform overlaps with the lower slant and the upper slant overlaps with the lower recessed platform, the upper slide plate is configured to slide relative to the lower slide plate, and the slope of the upper slant and the slope of the lower slant are configured to interact with the load plug pins such that the load plug pins slide along the slopes to slidingly displace each of the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate a sliding distance, and the sliding distance for each of the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate is no less than a thickness of a load plug pin.
