Abstract
A multiple socket attachment adapted to be inserted in a conventional wall outlet and to laterally receive prongs of appliance cord plug having a pair of transversal, parallel, conductive strips separated by insulating walls. Each strip is conductively connected to an L-shaped prong extending outside the attachment. The prongs are disposed on each side of the longitudinal axis of the attachment and suitably spaced to fit the wall outlet. The strips have lateral abutments to prevent translation movement and a clip member at each end to receive the prongs from the cord plugs.
