Abstract

An electrical socket (1) in which a shutter (20) is latched into a closed position to cover openings (15,16) in a front wall (2) of the socket by means of a first latch (21,22) which is operable by means of a plug's earth pin or protrusion (4). Unlatching the first latch is achieved by insertion of the earth or pin protrusion which enables live and neutral plug pins (5,6) to act on the shutter to move it away from the openings. Preferably a second latch (29,31) operable by means of the plug's live and neutral pins (5,6) is provided to lock the shutter into the closed position. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
