Abstract

A safety device for shielding off the receptacles of an electric current tap comprises a shutter member guided for sliding movement inside the tap body against the bias of a spring means between tap holes intended for receiving pins of an electric plug and the tap receptacles. The shutter member is accommodated within the current tap in tilting support relationship with a back wall of said tap body comprising two oppositely pitched surfaces set at a slight inclination angle, means being arranged to block the shutter member against sliding on a portion thereof being thrust against one of the surfaces.
