safety plug
Outlet child protector
A safety plug is a device designed to prevent hazards by blocking, releasing, or interrupting under dangerous conditions.
In electrical contexts, it covers unused outlets to protect children from shock.
In mechanical systems, a safety plug may be a fusible metal insert that melts at high temperatures to release pressure and prevent explosions: The boiler's safety plug blew before catastrophic failure.
