The base
A flat frame that fixes around your power point with two adhesive strips and two screws. Once it is on, it stays on. It does not block the outlet and you can leave it there permanently.
The product
A clear dome over the whole outlet
Plug covers block the holes. Micky Ha Ha covers the lot — the sockets, the plugs that are already in them, the cords and the switches — and still lets your appliances run.
The shape is the safety feature
Why it is rounded
The dome gives just enough room for a standard plug and the bend of its cord. That is the whole design brief, and it is also the reason a bulky plug pack will not go under it.
Clipped on. The cover sits over the whole outlet. The plug stays in the socket and the cord runs out through the slot along the bottom.
Two parts
A base that stays, a cover that comes off
The cover
The clear dome. It clips onto the base with two child-resistant catches and levers off when you squeeze both at once. Clip it on when you need it — when the grandchildren visit, or when the shed gets busy.
In use
Your appliances keep running
Two narrow slots along one edge let appliance cords out. The slots are tight enough to stop the cord being worked backwards and forwards, which is how a plug creeps out of a socket in the first place.
- The cover rotates, so cords can exit from the top or the bottom
- Clear throughout, so you can see whether a point is switched on
- Hold both side tabs down at once to lever the cover out; click it back to replace
- Fits all Australian standard single and double outlets to 12 cm × 8 cm
High outlets
Turn it around for air conditioner points
On a high outlet the hazard is not the socket, it is the loop of cord hanging down within reach. Rotate the cover so the cord exits from the top and it runs straight up to the unit with nothing dangling.
Be sure before you buy
What it will not fit
Not suitable for: double adapters, plug pack chargers, mounting blocks, uneven or brick walls, and outdoor or wet areas. The cover is not waterproof.
Please measure your outlet and decide whether the product suits your situation before ordering.
Cleaning
A damp cloth is all it needs. Do not use solvent-based cleaners, abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals — they will discolour the plastic and damage the surface.
