  • the invention relates to the field of the power socket intended to be coupled to a plug to connect a power source to electrical appliances and has as its object a front cover device for power socket. It also has as its object a power socket equipped with such a front cover device.
  • a power socket also known as electrical outlet, is able to be coupled to a plug, generally a round plug, of an electric or electronic appliance to supply power to the latter.
  • a power socket comprises generally an engine, called hereafter a terminal socket, comprising a housing and a connecting terminal mounted in the latter and having terminals, i.e. points of electrical connection, such as female terminals able to be in electrical contact with the pins of the plug.
  • Such a power socket comprises usually a front cover having two front access holes forming openings to the connecting terminal which is, in the mounted state of the power socket, connected to a power source.
  • the electrical contact between the female terminals and the pins of the plug, passing through the front access holes, enables the passage of the current to the electrical appliance.
  • a power socket can easily receive, through the front access holes, a thin conductible element held frequently by children who can then receive an electrical shock by the contact of said element with the female terminals or can be electrocuted.
  • the dusts or other elements can get into the access holes and affect the mechanism of the power socket.
  • a power socket comprising a terminal socket which comprises a housing receiving a connecting terminal with two electrical terminals, a cover mounted to the front of the housing and having two front access holes forming through-opening for the pins.
  • the cover defining an insertion well and including mounted means on the housing, said cover having sidewall delimiting an insertion cavity extending along a longitudinal axis of engagement for receiving a plug along said longitudinal axis of engagement.
  • the cover further comprises a movable flap, consisting globally in a disc-shaped plate, mounted mobile in translation in the insertion cavity relative to the side wall along the longitudinal axis of engagement and in which movable flap are provided said front access holes for the pins passing through said movable flap.
  • the housing also has a safe system arranged between the connecting terminal and the movable flap.
  • the safe system comprises safe elements moving between a closing position to prevent access of the pins of the plug to the connecting terminal and an opening position for providing access of said pins to the latter.
