The pins of the plug (F) are 25 when the plug (F) is inserted, positioned in such a way that it can be inserted. At least one pusher assembly having at least one pin counterpart (42) that is pushed via (P) (4), - To the pusher assembly (4), to the pusher assembly (4) at least one where the plug is connected (F) in such a way as to bring the thrust unit (4) closer to the upper body (2) at least one flexible element adapted to apply force (5), 30 125.01 4 - To keep the pusher assembly (4) fixed in the position where the plug (F) is inserted and to allow it to be released by the user when requested It includes at least one adapted interlocking (6). The subject of the invention is the socket (1), which has at least one pin 5 for the pins (P) of a plug (F) to pass through. It includes at least one upper body (2) with an opening. The upper body (2) is the user's It could be the casing he saw when plugging it in, or it could be a separate object located inside that casing. It can also be a component. Safety window (child lock) on the upper body (2), Components such as grounding connectors may be included. Guide (3) the thruster assembly (4) will approach the upper body (2) or from the upper body (2) It describes a suitable way for it to move away. The guide (3), Preferably, the socket (1) is formed integrally with a lower body (7). Lower body (7), the pins (P) move in the direction of advancement when a plug (F) is inserted into the socket (1). It is the wall. In other words, the lower body (7) is opposite the upper body (2) 15 It is a wall. The driving unit (4) moves along the path defined by the guide (3), guide (3). They are positioned in such a way that it can be done. The pusher assembly (4) must pass through at least one guide slot (3) (41) has. The guides (3) are passed through the guide slots (41) to form the pusher assembly (4) It is placed in the guides (3). In this case, the thrust unit (4) is in the guide (3) It can move along the path defined by it. The pusher assembly (4) will correspond to the pins (P) of the plug (F) when the plug (F) is inserted. at least one and preferably the number of pins (P) of the aforementioned plug (F) positioned in the manner shown. It has a corresponding pin (42). The shape and number of the corresponding pins (42) are specified in the relevant receipt. (F) is determined according to the shape and number of pins (P). For example, a 3-pin (P) When plug (F) is used, there can be 3 corresponding pins (42). Pin (P) 30 If it has a round cross-section, the pin counterpart (42) also has a round cross-section. 125.01 It is possible. Pin counterparts (42) also have a concave for the end of the pin (P) to fit inside. It can have a tip. The pin counterparts (42) and the guides (3) are separate from each other, the pusher assembly (4) This allows it to move stably in a smaller area. The plug is 5. (F) by pushing any part of the pusher assembly (4) from (P) pins The socket (1) does not need to come out of the housing. This means that all parts are enclosed. It ensures that it is kept within the volume. When the plug (F) is inserted into the socket (1) which is the subject of the invention, the pins (P) push against their pin counterparts (42) and 10 Thus the thrust unit (4) will move away from the upper body (2) along the guide (3). It operates in this manner. The subject of the invention is the socket (1), the pusher assembly (4) with the plug (F) fully inserted. to hold it in place and release it at will by the user when desired 15 It includes at least one interlocking (6) adapted to provide. Interlocking (6), When the user plugs a plug (F) into the socket (1), the pusher assembly (4) applies a force to the plug (F). It fixes the plug (F) in such a way that it will not be applied. In other words, the plug (F) is completely When attached, the locking mechanism (6) moves the pusher assembly (4) toward the upper body (2). This prevents the user from unplugging the plug from the socket (1). triggering the locker (6) and thus releasing the pusher assembly (4). The thrust unit (4) moves away from the upper body (2) in a flexible manner. on element (5) such that the thruster assembly (4) is brought closer to the upper body (2) It provides a potential storage that enables the application of force. Flexible 25 element (5) can be a spiral spring. When the locking mechanism (6) is opened by the user, the flexible element (5) is pushed It pushes the whole (4) towards the upper body (2). Here the locker (6) the expression of opening the locker (6) pusher assembly (4) to the upper body (2) 30 It is used to mean a situation where it does not prevent the correct action. 125.01 6 The locker (6) has at least one tongue (61) to secure the pusher assembly (4) in a lower position. It has. The tongue (61), the thrust unit (4) from the mentioned lower position to the body (2) a locked position that prevents it from moving in a way that would allow it to approach, and this movement It can move between a given open position. 5 During the downward movement of the (4) propulsive unit (61) of the tongue The part it makes contact with is angled in such a way as not to hinder this movement. This angled part... under which at least part of the thrust unit (4) can fit (611) is located. This recess (611) is the bottom 10 of the pin counterparts (4) of the pusher assembly (42). for at least part of a body to fit inside to which its ends are attached This is suitable. In this way, the movement that the thrust unit (4) needs to work. The area is reduced. The subject of the invention, the socket (1), is thus the socket located on the wall. They can be easily used in places with limited space, such as nests. The socket (1) in question is designed to push the tongue (61) towards the pusher assembly (4). It contains at least one positioned tongue ejector (62). In other words, the tongue ejector (62), The tongue (61) is pushed toward its locked position. The tongue pusher (62) is, for example, a spring. It is possible. Here the expression of spring is the language of helical spring, conical spring, leaf spring etc. (61) 20 in the sense of any flexible device that can push it toward its locked position It is used. While the pusher assembly (4) moves from top to bottom, the tongue (61) is in the open position. It pushes correctly. The pusher whole (4) passes the inclined part of the tongue (61) and into the recess (611) When the tongue (61) reaches the 25 of the thruster assembly as a result of the force applied by the tongue thruster (62). (4) moves toward the thrust unit (4) so that it will enter the recess (611). This In this case, the thrust unit (4) cannot move upwards. While the pusher assembly (4) is locked by means of the locking mechanism (6), the tongue (61) is open. When brought to position, the thrust unit (4) moves towards the upper body (2) and 30 125.01 7 This pushes the pins (P) and consequently the plug (F). This causes the plug (F) to be removed. It provides. In one application of the invention, the tongue (61) will be a force that will bring the tongue (61) to the open position. It contains at least one cavity (612) for application. This cavity (612) is 5 of an arm (63). to apply a force on the tongue (61) to bring the tongue (61) to the open position It is suitable. To apply a force to the locker (6), tongue (61), to bring the tongue (61) to the open position. It includes at least one arm (63) adapted for. 10 In one application of the invention, the arm (63) is applied to one end by means of a trigger (64). It will rotate around an axis as a result of a force, and as a result of this rotational movement The other end is adapted to bring the tongue (61) to the open position (Figure 4, Figure 5). 15 In one application of the invention, the socket (1) that is the subject of the invention is designed to increase structural integrity. It contains at least one column (not shown in the figures). The column is part of the thruster assembly. (4) move so that it approaches (2) the upper body or moves away from (2) the upper body. It defines a suitable way for it to do so. In this application, the pusher assembly (4) is 20 of the column. It has a column socket (43) through which it can pass. In one application of the invention, the trigger (64) triggers the user in dark environments (64) It has at least one lighting element to make it easy to find. In an example application of the invention; when the user does not plug in the flexible element (5) pusher It pushes the whole (4) towards the upper body (2). In this application, the flexible element (5) It is a spiral spring. When the user starts to plug the plug into the socket (1), the pins of the plug are pushed. It pushes the whole (4) downwards, away from the upper body (2). This The actuator spring compresses. When the user plugs in completely, the pusher assembly (4) 30 The locker (6) enters the recess (611) under the tongue (61) of the locker and the pusher assembly (4) 125.01 8 It locks. In this position, the pusher assembly (4) has a force to remove the plug from the plug. It does not apply. When the user wants to remove the plug, he presses the trigger (64) and Thus, it rotates the lever (63). With this rotational movement, the lever (63) opens the tongue (61). This brings it to its position and thus the driving force (4) is released. In this case, the pusher unit (4) moves upwards as a result of the force applied by the springs 5 He moves and removes the plug from the socket (1) (Figure 4, Figure 5). Another example application of the invention is the flexible element when the user does not plug it in. (5) pushes the entire (4) body towards the (2). In this application, the flexible Element (5) is a spiral spring. When the user starts to plug the plug into the socket (1), the plug is 10 The pins pusher assembly (4) downwards, away from the upper body (2) It pushes. This movement compresses the spring. When the user fully inserts the plug, the pusher... The whole (4) fits into the recess (611) under the tongue (61) of the locker (6) and the pusher It locks the whole (4). In this position, the pusher will remove the plug from the whole (4) plug. No force is applied. When the user wants to remove the plug, he presses the trigger (64) 15 presses and thus rotates the lever (63). With this rotational movement, the lever (63) applying a force into the cavity (612) in such a way as to bring the tongue (61) to the open position and Thus the thrust unit (4) is released (Figure 6). In this case the thrust unit (4) moves upwards as a result of the force applied by the springs and the plug unplugs from socket (1) 20 Of course, the subject of the invention is that the socket (1) has busbars that carry electricity to the pins of the plug. It is obvious. The socket (1) also has an outer shell, child lock, indicator, lighting. It is possible that the element includes other components such as surge protectors, etc. Here 25 Only the parts related to easy unplugging of the plug have been explained. The subject of the invention is a socket (1) that can be mounted flush with or above the plaster. It can be in the form of a cord or an extension cord. Also, multiple sockets... being located in a single housing, for example an extension cord with multiple sockets (1) 30 It is possible to arrange it in the form of a cable (socket adapter, multi-socket).
