Problems solved by technology

Unplugging is equally laborious
Although the plug is relatively safe when fully engaged with the outlet, a jerk on the cord is often enough to inadvertently move the plug from the fully engaged position

Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 Plug 1 and socket 2 are shown. The socket includes a plurality of sockets such as sockets 3 into which conductive pins 4 are inserted. Pin 4 may be fully conductive or only partially conductive. Such as figure 1 As shown, the end of pin 4 is conductive. Jack 3 includes a standard shutter and conductive contacts. Surface 5 surrounds the upper part of socket 3 and slopes downwards. The size of the slot 6 is adapted to the part of the housing 7 of the plug 1 . There is a seating surface 8 at the front part of the plug. The shape and structure of the upper seating surface 8 matches the joint surface 9 in the groove 6 of the socket 2 . The seating surface 8 comprises a part-cylindrical part 10 below which is a protrusion with a rounded part at its end. The protrusion 11 is positioned into a groove 12 located below a part-cylindrical portion 13 of the joint face 9 .

[0030] The front end portion of the plug also includes two undercuts 14 corresponding to th...

Abstract

A socket comprises a plurality of recesses with electrically conductive contacts; said recesses being configured to receive the prongs of a corresponding plug; and a plug housing recess for receiving at least a portion of the housing of a plug; wherein said plug housing recess incorporates an engagement surface against which said plug engages in order to pivot between an initial position where the prongs are positioned to enter the recesses and a position where the prongs are fully engaged within the recesses. A plug suitable for use with this socket is also presented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of plugs and / or sockets. Background technique [0002] In a standard UK plug and socket arrangement, the plug usually takes the form of a housing with protruding conductive prongs. Conductive prongs extend vertically from the lower surface of the plug. The housing is usually made of two parts, with the rear of the plug having the hole through which the power cord protrudes. When such a plug engages a conventional socket, the only engaging outer surface is the lower surface of said plug surrounding the prongs. Inserting a plug into a receptacle is laborious due to the conductive contacts in the receptacle and the often present barrier covering the jack. The operator typically holds the plug by its sides and pulls it out of the socket. The plug is inserted and extracted in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the socket. Pulling out the plug is equally laborious. While such a plug is relatively safe whe...
