Attorney, Agent or Firm: Gilhooly; Edward D.

A female receptor for locking a male plug and having an actuator element accessible from an exterior position. The actuator element comprises an elongated shaft having an area of reduced width to permit disengaging movement of internal balls mounted in the receptor body. The ball and balls retain the prongs of the male plug in place when the area of reduced width of the rod is not aligned with the ball and balls.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an objective of the present invention to provide an effective and economical female electrical receptor which will efficiently lock a male plug element of an electrical line, cord, or female wall receptor to prevent accidental disconnection.
The female receptor of the invention is provided with locking elements that are uniquely arranged to engage the typical punched holes provided in the male prongs of an electrical plug.
Without other tools, the locking elements of the invention are locked in position by depression of an exterior arranged actuator which is also used to permit the plug to be easily removed.
The receptor of the invention is highly efficient in use and is provided with safety features to prevent injury from shocks and the like.
