  • the contact pair resiliently rests against one of several pairs of contact surfaces. The pairs of contact surfaces are connected to the contact pins of each connector.
  • a travel adapter is to be created which can be used in countries with different standards and whose handling is improved for the user in the respective countries.
  • a set comprising the travel adapter is to be created which is easy to use in many countries and whose handling is improved.
  • a travel adapter comprises a housing, at least one socket of a first standard and at least one plug of a second standard.
  • the socket of the first standard has at least a first contact socket and a second contact socket and the plug of the second standard has at least a first contact pin and a second contact pin.
  • the plug is arranged on the housing and the socket is rotatably mounted in the housing.

  • the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin are arranged pivotably on the housing such that the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be pivoted out of the housing.
  • the user can move only the plug suitable there, or only the first contact pin and second contact pin suitable there, into the operating position. There is only one operating position for the plug or for the first contact pin and the second contact pin. This ensures that the travel adapter can be used correctly and without any doubt in the desired country.
  • This travel adapter protects the user from having to try out different plugs in the respective country. This improves handling on the one hand and ensures a high level of safety in use on the other.
  • the operating position is the pivoted-out end position in which the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be plugged into an external or separate socket.
  • a rest position is that end position swung in, in which the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin are pivoted at least in sections in the housing.
  • the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin are arranged such that they can be pivoted out of the rest position on the housing.
  • the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be arranged essentially freely on the housing, so that their functional use is essentially comparable to the arrangement of the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin in the housing.
  • the arrangement in the housing prevents the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin from getting caught with other objects, for example with objects such as luggage, which is located directly in the vicinity of the travel adapter
  • the respective contact elements are preferably formed in one piece with the respective contact sockets. This can prevent the contact elements from detaching from one another in the housing, which can improve the functional stability of the travel adapter.
  • the first contact pin and the second contact pin are preferably coupled to one another in such a way that they can be pivoted out of the housing together.

  • the contact tongue can be connected to the third contact pin using the third contact element.
  • the third is Contact element arranged on the socket housing and thus rotatably mounted in the housing of the travel adapter. The coupling of the contact pins enables a synchronous movement of all three contact pins, so that they can easily be moved into their respective operating positions.
  • the third contact pin can preferably be moved linearly.
  • the third contact pin can be designed as a protective conductor pin, which can be located between the first contact pin and the second contact pin.
  • the protective conductor pin can be movable normally to the connecting straight line which extends between the first contact pin and the second contact pin.
  • a plug with a linearly movable protective conductor pin has an elongated hole in which the protective conductor pin can move linearly.
  • a linear movement is a movement along the longitudinal extension of the elongated hole.
  • the Swiss plug standard, the Italian plug standard and the Brazilian plug standard can be covered with one and the same plug.
  • the socket has a third contact socket for establishing a protective conductor connection.
  • the third contact socket can also be connected to the third contact pin using the third contact element.
  • a travel adapter with three contact sockets has a simple structure that keeps an external or separate plug stable after it is plugged into the socket.
  • the first contact pin and the second contact pin can preferably be pivoted out in a first pivoting direction and the third contact pin can be pivoted out in a second pivoting direction that is opposite to the first pivoting direction. This allows the contact pins to be placed in the rest position in the housing of the travel adapter to save space.
  • the third contact pin is designed as the protective conductor pin, so that it can be pivoted in the opposite direction to the first and to the second contact pin.
  • the third contact pin can be both linearly and pivotally movable. This makes the third contact pin, which is designed as a protective conductor pin, particularly flexible to use.
  • a gear is preferably provided for coupling.
  • a gear mechanism for the contact pins which can be swung out together brings about a synchronous movement of these contact pins when swiveling them out into their operating position.
  • a gear transmission is provided for coupling the contact pins.
  • a gear transmission has toothing which enables efficient coupling of the contact pins which can be swung out together, the gear transmission having a compact structure.
  • the contact pins can be moved precisely from their rest positions into their operating positions and back again using the toothing.
  • a coupling rod gear is provided as a coupling of the contact pins.
  • a coupling rod gear enables a particularly reliable coupling of the contact pins to be moved together. This means that the contact pins are hardly stressed mechanically, which can extend the life of the travel adapter.
  • a gear notch is provided on the gear for receiving at least one of the contact pins.
  • the travel adapter preferably has an unlocking mechanism which enables the respective plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin to be pivoted out when the socket is in the respective operating position.

After the desired standard has been selected, the user can now only use the appropriate plug or first contact pin and second contact pin.
  • the unlocking mechanism is preferably formed at least in two parts and has an unlocking link and an engagement element.
  • the unlocking link and the engaging element cooperate in such a way that reliable unlocking is possible and jamming of the plugs and / or the contact pins can be prevented. It is advantageous Unlocking mechanism formed in two parts, so that it has a simple construction.

  • the arrangement of the unlocking link on the socket housing enables stable actuation of the unlocking mechanism when the socket is turned.
  • the engagement element can be arranged on the plug or on the first contact pin and / or second contact pin, but also on the coupling or on the gear, so that the engagement element can be arranged close to the socket housing and thus a reliable and stable interaction of the unlocking link and the engaging element is possible.
  • the travel adapter preferably has a receptacle for overcurrent protection.
  • Travel adapters are used in different countries with different energy networks. Overcurrent protection is an advantage for the safe use of the travel adapter and may be necessary with regard to country-specific certification regulations. If a damaged device is connected to the travel adapter, the overcurrent fuse prevents damage to the travel adapter, since the overcurrent fuse is triggered. The holder ensures easy replacement of the overcurrent fuse.
  • the receptacle is arranged on the can housing.
  • the receptacle and thus the overcurrent fuse arranged therein can thus be arranged close to the contact sockets.
  • the receptacle of the socket is preferably arranged opposite one another. This allows the size of the travel adapter to be kept small.
  • the overcurrent fuse is a fuse. Fuses can be manufactured for different overcurrent protection classes and have a compact design and a low weight.
  • the receptacle in the position led out of the can housing is advantageously not separable from the can housing. This means that the recording cannot be lost. At the same time, it can thus be ensured that the contact sockets or the contact elements in the socket housing cannot be touched.
  • the travel adapter preferably has a locking device for locking the receptacle.
  • the locking device prevents access to the overcurrent protection when one of the plugs or contact pins is in its operating position. This further improves the safe use of the travel adapter.

  • the locking cams and the locking groove engage firmly and prevent the holder from opening.
  • the locking groove is preferably arranged on the housing and the locking cam is arranged on the receptacle. This enables a stable interaction of these elements of the locking device on the travel adapter.
  • the locking groove and the locking cam can be brought into an operative connection in a position of the socket housing, so that the receptacle can be detached from the socket housing.
  • This position is different for each operating position of the connector or contact pin. This can ensure that the overcurrent fuse can only be removed when all the plugs or contact pins are in their rest position and the travel adapter is therefore not in electrical contact with an external energy network.
  • the travel adapter preferably has an interface which makes it possible to arrange an additional module on the travel adapter and to electrically connect this additional module to the socket.
  • An electrical device can thus also be connected to the travel adapter, so that the range of use of the travel adapter described here is further improved.

  • this recessed grip is arranged at the interface.
  • the recessed grip and the interface are thus arranged on the same component of the housing, as a result of which the recessed grip and the interface can be produced in one work step. If necessary, the socket can be turned using an additional module located at the interface.
  • the travel adapter preferably has two recessed handles for rotating the socket.
  • the user can, for example, engage one of the recessed grips with one finger and twist the socket.
  • the two recessed grips allow a secure hold when turning the socket.
  • the two recessed grips are advantageously arranged at opposite positions, which enables easy handling.
  • the socket in the socket housing is preferably compatible with plugs of the Brazilian, Italian and Swiss standards.
  • the socket in the socket housing can also be compatible with type J, type L or type N plugs, which increases the flexibility of the travel adapter.
