2. Description of the Related Art At present, various types of outlets are used in various countries of the world, and when using electrical equipment in a foreign country, it is necessary to use an outlet plug having a plug blade suitable for an outlet of the country's outlet. is there. In view of the above, an outlet adapter has been conventionally developed as an adapter for an overseas outlet, in which an adapter having a plug blade corresponding to the type of outlet in the country is attached to the outlet plug in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned outlet adapter, it is necessary to change the adapter according to the type of the outlet of the country as needed, and every time one goes abroad, the adapter is changed according to the country. You need to bring something with you. Also, when traveling between countries with different types of outlets, you must carry several types of outlet adapters.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a single outlet adapter that is convenient to carry when traveling across countries of different outlet types. It is to provide a multi-outlet adapter that is easy to use.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a multi-outlet adapter according to claim 1 is an outlet adapter separately attached to an outlet plug attached to an electric device, comprising: an adapter body; A plug blade insertion hole for inserting the plug blade of the outlet plug is provided in the adapter body, and plug blades respectively corresponding to various types of outlet shapes are built in the adapter body, and plugs respectively corresponding to the various types of outlet shapes. An operating device for extruding each of the blades is provided.

This multi-outlet adapter is used when an electric device is used in a foreign country and the plug of the electric device to be used does not correspond to the outlet shape of the country. An outlet plug of the electric device to be used is inserted into the blade insertion hole of the adapter body. Then, from among the blades respectively corresponding to the various types of outlet shapes pre-installed in the adapter body, a blade corresponding to the outlet shape of the country is selected, and the operating device of the selected blade is selected. By operating, the blade is pushed out of the adapter body and used. So every time you go abroad,
It is not necessary to carry an outlet adapter corresponding to the outlet shape of each country, and it is only necessary to carry one outlet adapter, so it is convenient to carry.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the multi-outlet adapter according to the first aspect, wherein the blades respectively corresponding to the various types of outlet shapes are operated by operating the operating device corresponding to the respective blades. By being pushed out from the same surface of the adapter body, it is not necessary to carry an outlet adapter corresponding to the outlet shape of each country every time going abroad, one outlet adapter Just carry it. Also, since the volume of the outlet adapter itself is reduced, it is more convenient to carry.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-outlet adapter, which is an outlet adapter separately attached to an outlet plug attached to an electric device, wherein the adapter body and a plug blade for inserting the plug blade of the outlet plug into the adapter body. A hole is provided, and each of the blades respectively corresponding to various types of outlet shapes is provided on a different surface of the adapter body, and a cover is provided to cover each of the blades respectively corresponding to the various types of outlet shapes. It is characterized by the following.

This multi-outlet adapter is used when an electric device is used in a foreign country and the outlet plug of the electric device used does not correspond to the outlet shape of the country. An outlet plug of the electric device to be used is inserted into the blade insertion hole of the adapter body. Then, from among the blades respectively corresponding to the various types of outlet shapes provided in advance in the adapter body, a blade corresponding to the outlet shape of the country is selected, and the selected blade is covered. Used by removing the cover. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry an outlet adapter corresponding to the outlet shape of each country every time when going abroad, and it is only necessary to carry one outlet adapter, which is convenient to carry. Further, since there is no need to add a special component, it can be manufactured at low cost.

The outlet adapter is separately attached to the adapter body, and includes an adapter body 3 and a blade insertion hole 4 into which the A-type blade of the outlet plug 2 is inserted. Further, a B-type blade 51, a C-type blade 52, an O-type blade 53, and an S-type blade 54 are attached to a plurality of different surfaces of the adapter body 3.

As shown in FIG. 8, the multi-outlet adapter includes a cover 9 for covering each type of blade 5. In this embodiment, the cover 9 includes a B-type cover 91, a C-type cover 92, an O-type cover 93, and an S-type cover 94. By removing these covers 9, the blade 5 is used.

Next, a case where the multi-outlet adapter according to the present embodiment is used will be described. For example, it is assumed that the outlet plug 2 of the electric device 1 to be used is the A type, and the outlet shape in the destination country is the C type. The outlet plug 2 of the electric device 1 to be used is inserted into the blade insertion hole 4 of the adapter body 3. And B which is attached to the adapter body 3 in advance,
Among the C, O and S type blades 5, the C type blade 5
2 is used by removing the cover 92 covering the selected C-type blade 52.
Therefore, it is not necessary to carry an outlet adapter corresponding to each country's outlet shape every time one goes overseas, and only one outlet adapter needs to be carried, which is convenient to carry. In addition, since the cover 9 covering each type of blade 5 is simply removed, the method of use is simple, and since no special components are used, it is possible to manufacture the device at low cost.

In the first to third embodiments, the shape of the outlet plug 2 of the electric device 1 to be used is unified to the A type, and the B type and the C type are
Although the present invention is not limited to this type, the present invention is not limited to this, and the outlet plug 2 of the electric device 1 to be used is of a different type. Since the shape of the blade insertion hole 4 is determined correspondingly, the combination of the blades 5 provided in advance in the adapter body 3 also differs.

[0024]

As described above, the present invention relates to a multi-outlet adapter used when an electrical device is used overseas and an outlet plug does not correspond to an outlet shape in that country, Each time you go abroad, it is not necessary to carry an outlet adapter corresponding to each country's outlet shape, and you only need to carry one outlet adapter, so it is convenient to carry. In addition, there is no need to exchange adapters and plug blades one by one for the type of outlet in the country, and the method of use is simple.
