However, while the plug with the retracted pins is noticeably thinner than a conventional plug, it's still in the range of an inch thick, or in other words, about twice as thick as an iPad

Embodiment Construction

[0063] Now refer to the attached Figure 1 to Figure 4 , showing (respectively) a schematic front perspective view, a schematic side view, a top view and an exploded view of a plug 1 embodying the teachings of the present invention.

[0064] The plug 1 includes a plug body 3 , a first wing 5 and a second wing 7 . These wings are mounted on the plug body for rotation relative to the plug body by means of an upper pivot pin 9 and a lower pivot pin 11 which correspond to corresponding pivot pins in the plug body 3. The receptacle (of which only the pivot receptacle 13 is visible) engages. As will be described later, the wings 5 ​​and 7 can be pivoted about the aforementioned pivot pins 9 and 11 from, for example, figure 1 The stowed position shown pivots to ( Figure 7 with Figure 8 (shown in ) in the stowed position, the first and second wings extend generally adjacent to each other and generally parallel to the plug body 3, in the deployed position, the wings are linearly...

Abstract

This invention relates to an electrical plug (1; 100; 154; 160; 200; 300) comprising: a plug main body (3; 103; 204; 302); and a plurality of electrical pins (21, 23; 156, 158; 164, 166; 210, 212; 310; 312), the pins being carried by an arm (17; 208; 308) that is coupled to said plug main body (3; 103; 204; 302) and is rotatable relative thereto between a stowed position where the arm (17; 208; 308) is generally linearly aligned with the plug main body (3; 103; 204; 302), and a deployed position where the arm (17; 208; 308) has rotated relative to the plug main body (3; 103; 204; 302) so as to be generally perpendicular thereto. A multi-plug adaptor for use with the plug is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] In one aspect, the present invention relates to electrical plugs, particularly but not exclusively to three-pin electrical plugs for coupling electrical equipment to a power source. In another aspect, the invention relates to the combination of an electrical plug of the type described herein with a multi-plug adapter. Background technique [0002] Electronic devices generally tend to steadily decrease in size as technology advances. For example, from a few years ago, portable computers tended to be an inch or more thick, while newer portable computers are significantly thinner. In fact, with the MacBook Air and iPad, consumers can now buy portable computers that are significantly less than an inch thick. [0003] However, although the size of devices such as computers has decreased, the size of the electrical plugs commonly provided as part of the power supply for these computers has changed very little over the years. A basic example of this is the...
