US Patent 9502807 Tamper resistant receptacle

A tamper resistant electrical receptacle comprising a slide housing disposed beneath the hot and neutral blade openings in the receptacle. The slide housing includes a neutral slide body and a hot slide body having slide pads and tabs for reducing friction when the bodies slide against each other as the spring bias of the bodies in the slide housing is overcome by simultaneous insertion of the tines of an electrical plug contact ramp surfaces and camming past the slide bodies causing them to slide against each other and spreading a gap area a distance sufficient for receiving the lateral neutral prong of a 20 A electrical plug.
