Embodiment Construction

[0020] In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates to electrical plug assemblies for reducing drop damage to prongs, electrical devices having electrical plug assemblies for reducing drop damage to prongs, and manufacturing methods for reducing drop damage to prongs. method of dropping damaged electrical plug assemblies.

[0021] Given by way of non-limiting overview, in various embodiments, an electrical plug assembly can help reduce drop damage to prongs of the electrical plug assembly. As will be discussed in detail below, in various embodiments, the prongs are disposed in a flexible material that may facilitate cushioning absorption of electrical plugs other than in rigid materials known in the art. The energy associated with the dropping of components of electrical equipment. In this way, if the attached electrical device were to be dropped and land on the prongs, the prongs could bend in any direction upwards, downwards, inwards or outwards to absorb the impa...

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments include electrical plug assemblies for reducing drop damage to prongs, electrical devices with an electrical plug assembly for reducing drop damage to prongs, and methods of fabricating an electrical plug assembly for reducing drop damage to prongs. In a nonlimiting, illustrative embodiment, an electrical plug assembly (100) includes a rigid housing (102). A pair of flexibleinserts (104) is fixedly disposed in the rigid housing (102). Each of a pair of rigid sleeves (106) is fixedly disposed in an associated one of the pair of flexible inserts (104). Each of a pair of electrically-conductive prongs (108) is fixedly disposed in an associated one of the pair of rigid sleeves (106). Each of a pair of flexible electrical conductor assemblies (110) is movably attached toan associated one of the pair of electrically-conductive prongs (108).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to electrical plug assemblies. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to electrical plug assemblies for reducing drop damage to prongs. Background technique [0002] An electrical pin is provided in an electrical plug assembly of an electrical device. The electrical prongs are configured to plug into an electrical socket and electrically connect the electrical device to a power source. The electrical prongs are suitably made of electrically conductive material as required for a particular application. For example, in some applications electrical prongs may be made of stainless steel or the like. Furthermore, conventional known electrical prongs are generally rigidly mounted into electrical plug assemblies of electrical equipment. [0003] For example, refer to figure 1 An electrical device 10 includes a conventional electrical plug assembly 11 having conductive electrical prongs 12 as known in th...
