Abstract
Disclosed is a receptacle having protective flaps that can prevent inadvertent insertion of alien objects into the slots of the receptacle. The receptacle having protective flaps can be made without the use of a separating plate as in the prior art so that it is cost-effective in manufacture and easy in assembly. The receptacle having protective flaps comprises a top cover having slots and a base for mounting the top cover thereon. The base has an integrally formed rib provided with paired notches to form a supporting piece therebetween. The protective flap is composed of a female frame and a male frame in which the female frame is provided with a sliding rail on lengthwise sides and the sliding rail is inset in the paired notches on the base and supported by the supporting piece so as to support the protective flap securely on the rib. An elastic piece is coupled to the protective flap for restoring the female frame and the male frame back to a closed condition when a plug is removed. The elastic piece is U-shaped and coupled to the outside of the protective flap.
