A safety electrical outlet for receiving metallic prongs of an electrical
plug. The
outlet has a housing with at least two plug passages being sized for receiving
the metallic prongs of the electrical plug, and two metallic connectors
mounted
on the housing for connection to an electrical power source. At least two
transverse channels communicate with the corresponding plug passages and
extend toward the corresponding metallic connectors with at least two spring-
biased members being inserted in each corresponding transverse channel
and being movable between an extended position where the spring-biased
member partially extends within the corresponding plug passage and a
retracted position where the corresponding metallic prong that is inserted
inside the passage pushes against the spring-biased member so that it
touches the corresponding metallic connector for establishing an electrical
contact between the metallic prong and the corresponding metallic connector.
