Childproofing is a pretty good idea for most new families. Children (and probably some adults) like to stick things in places they shouldn't go. This safety plug concept should eliminate that (for outlets at least).
not good for keeping kids from sticking stuff in the socket, but I can see it keeping people like me from getting shocked unplugging stuff (it happens all the time).
great idea, in some countries there are 3 holes in the sockets so if you want to put anything into the live ones you have to first push in a blocker in the neutral pin hole, unless you do this nothing can get into the live holes. this prevents children from sticking their fingers in.
I'm not sure what kind of protection that actually offers. After all, the electricity is in the wall! I suppose it keeps the prongs behind the rubber whilst the plug is being pulled out, though, which could be helpful?
In England, we have three pronged plugs with the longest prong being "earthed", so this wouldn't be much helped over here (or less help, anyway).
umm... how would that concept safety proof anything? seeing as the power point is the place where electricity comes from and not the power plug :/
ReplyDeletelooks cute though!
ReplyDeleteEhhhh, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't stop a kid from playing with it.
ReplyDeletethat is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI've been zapped a view times and I think this could have helped.

ReplyDeletebut i understand the reasoning. i wonder if it really works..

ReplyDeleteI'm not quite seeing how it's childproof, but maybe I just need to see it being tried to be pulled out.
ReplyDeleteNice :D
ReplyDeleteooo thats cool
ReplyDeleteagain cool invention.
ReplyDeletenot good for keeping kids from sticking stuff in the socket, but I can see it keeping people like me from getting shocked unplugging stuff (it happens all the time).

While I like the idea of Darwinism... I still think this is pretty nifty. hah
ReplyDeleteKids will always find ways to electrocute themselves!
ReplyDeleteIt's comforting to assume that a lot of time and money went into this pointless endeavor.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I first electrocuted myself with an outlet. Although I could have died, I never did it again.
ReplyDeleteIts already patented.
ReplyDeletegood try
