It's all about the extensiorizing. |
|

I googled "Custom Outlet Covers" and got a bunch of hits, Xen. I'll post a few links. Take a look and see if it's what you meant. I didn't see any that that do the plugs, but that's rather difficult to do and would be rendered useless the first time you replaced an appliance that had one of these nice custom plugs. |
|
| |
I'm not sure fabrics or faux furs would be safe on an electrical outlet. I don't know... any experts on the subject in the house? |
|
| |
(just so you know, that's not my fishbone) |
|
| |
21_Q, maybe you missed the words 'plug' and 'upholstery' in the idea title, subtitle and body. |
|
| |
No, I didn't miss the words, Bigs. But upholstery is for furniture, is it not? Fabrics, cloths, and woods are not something you want on an electrical outlet. |
|
| |
It's probably a posh person thing, and would only work in contrast to a marble lined wall. |
|
| |
This is ok up to a point. The point being when some idiot (like the person who owned my home before me) fits all metal socket covers and does not connect up the earth to the cover! |
|
| |
This probally breaks a million and one rules in the EU/UK as well. |
|
| |
Would be good for extension cables. Maybe a bagpuss with sockets on its back and an extendible tail. He could sit next to your bar heater and keep you company. |
|
| |
I had actually forgotten I had posted this! |
|
| |
As far as I can tell, these links all are for socket covers (the femal bit) where as [xen] was talking about the plug (male bit). |
|
| |
Looks like some people are confusing male with female again
(yes this post was basically leading up to that bad joke) |
|
| |
Does upholstery automatically mean cloth or leather? |
|
| |
How about something like Key-Write thingies? [see link] |

So I was at the local convenience store yesterday - and the laser hand price scanner thingie happened to be pointing at a metal-sheathed flexible cable that went from the credit card reader to the register. The moving laser light reflected off the cable in a way that made it look like there were tiny LEDs embedded in the cable. Looked pretty cool, but then I'm a sucker for little flashy lights. |

hey - you could have *spiny* plugs for plugs that you're not supposed to disconnect (like, say, for respirators)... |
|

In 20 years time they'll bring out a retro edition in white
plastic.... |
