Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a plug device, and particularly to a plug device, which is much easier for a plug to remove from a receptacle.
  • the European three-pin plug there are two main types of plugs: the European three-pin plug and the normal two-pin plug.
  • the three-pin plug there is a positive pin, a negative pin and a ground pin.
  • the plug When the plug is pushed onto the receptacle, the pins set into the holes. The pins are received in the receptacle holes. For safety reasons, no parts of the pins should be exposed outside the receptacle when the electric current is conducting. The same consideration exists for the normal two-pin plug when it is in use.
  • the main function of the plug is to draw current while the pins are inserted into a receptacle, and it can also be disconnected from drawing current as desired when it is removed from the receptacle. Therefore, from a stand point of view for designing a plug, it is necessary to consider not only the safety for the parts in the plug but also an easy attachment to and an easy removal from a receptacle.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a plug device, with which it is much easier for users to remove a plug from a receptacle.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a plug device, with which it is possible for plug pins being firmly attached to a receptacle easily.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a plug device, with which it is possible for user to apply a direct force while removing the plug device from a receptacle.
  • the basic components of the present inventions comprise of the following: a receptacle, a base 1 for the plug, two or more pins 2, some connecting wires 3, an upper cover 4 and a push ring 5.
  • the base 1 is made of an insulating material.
  • the inner part of the base is divided into small compartments so that the conductive plates can be received therein. This part is the prior art and it will not be further discussed here.
  • the pins 2 which are also prior art, are made of conducting materials. They extend out from the base 1 and are connected to the conducting plates by wire. When the plug is inserted into the receptacle, it is connected to the main circuit.
  • the connecting wires 3, which are also prior art, are fitted through the hole provided in the upper cover 4 and connected to electrical appliances. Since the other end of the wires is connected to the conductive plates in the main base 1 of the plug, therefore the electrical appliances can receive the electricity from the main circuit via the pins 2.
  • the upper cover 4 When assembling the upper cover 4, it is fitted onto the base 1. Therefore it is designed to have the same size and shape as base 1.
  • the hole on one side of the upper cover 4 is for connecting the wires.
  • the plug only one part of the plug is different from a conventional one.
  • the difference is the upper cover 4.
  • An opening 41 is provided on each of the two lateral sides of the upper cover 4. As illustrated in the figures, this opening 41 can be a recess at the bottom end of the cover 4. When the cover 4 is fitted to the base 1, the opening 41 becomes a hole.
  • the main purpose of this opening 41 is to be fit by the push ring 5.
  • a cutout part 42 is formed to accommodate the push ring 5.
  • the upper cover 4 is also made of insulated materials.
  • the push ring 5 is a curved shape ring and has a size and a shape corresponding to the upper cover 4, especially for fitting the cutout part 42.
  • a pivot journal 51 is provided at both end parts 53 of the push ring 5 respectively on the inner surfaces thereof to correspond the openings 41.
  • the pivot journals 51 each have a size accommodating to the opening 41 such that the push ring 5 is able to rotatably engage with the openings 41.
  • an outer end 52 of respective pivot journal 51 has a larger diameter than the rest part thereof. This will prevent the pivot journals 51 from slipping out of the opening 41 during rotation.
  • each of the pivot journals 51 is located near the bottom of each of the end parts. That is, the distance between the respective pivot journal 51 and the top surface of the respective end part 53 is greater than the perpendicular distance between the respective pivot journal 51 and the bottom surface of the rest part on the push ring 5.
  • the assembled perspective view of the plug device according the present invention illustrates the push ring 5 can be rotated in a range of certain angle with respect to the upper cover 4.
  • a second embodiment of the plug device in the present invention is illustrated. It can be seen in Fig. 5 that the plug device is applied to a popularly used two-pin plug and receptacle. It has the same principle as the three-pin plug device shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Since the two pins are the only parts that has to be embedded in the receptacle. Therefore, a push ring 6 is attached directly to the base above the pins. In this way, the same effect can be achieved.
  • the plug device of the present invention is designed to fix receptacle holes tightly and thus increase a transmission efficiency of electricity.
  • the push ring in the plug device of the present invention is moved in the same direction as the plug device removal. Thus the force to remove the plug device can be applied more directly and more efficiently.
