Abstract

The invention concerns an adapter capable of retaining a moulded plug (8) within itself. The adapter comprises first (1) and second (2) portions removably attached to one another and between which the plug (8) is retained. Various safely features and improvements are disclosed which: (a) permit insertion of the plug when the first and second portions are secured to one another but its removal only when they are separated; (b) only complete the electrical circuit when the portions are so secured; (c) only permit separation of the portions when the adapter is not plugged into a socket; or (d) only permit removal of the moulded plug when the adapter is not plugged into a socket.
