Abstract

A safety light plug 1 can be plugged into a domestic electricity supply socket 3 and has a power failure detection system which activates a light 2 in the event of a power failure. The light may be powered by a battery.

Description

The present invention relates to a Safety-Light Plug that can be plugged
into all standard three pin or two pin sockets fitted in domestic homes or public places. These sockets are usually a standard 240 volt / 110 volt 13 amp and are wall floor or ceiling mounted. It is well known that safety-lights are used in domestic and public places. These safety-lights are integrally fitted and part of an electrical supply ( permanent fixtures) and are activated by detection of electrical failure. These safety-lights do not plug into an electrical supply but are part of a professionally fitted lighting system..
However there are no known safety-lights that can be plugged in for use in domestic and public places and which are not integrally fitted and not permanently fitted as a part of an electrical supply and can be activated by detection of electrical failure.
These Safety-Light Plugs do not need to be professionally fitted and can be placed at will where there are electrical supply sockets that are usually a standard three pin or two pin 240 volt / 110 volt 13 amp and are wall floor or ceiling mounted.
It is the object of the present invention to provide such a device for domestic and public places.
According to the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a Safety-
Light Plug which can be plugged into electrical supply sockets that are usually a standard three pin or two pin 240 volt / 110 volt 13 amp and are wall floor or ceiling mounted.
Preferably the Safety-Light Plug can be moved or placed wherever a socket is able to receive the plug.
Advantageously the Safety-Light Plug does not require to be integral to an electrical supply but can be plugged in or taken out of an electrical supply socket and does not need to be professionally fitted.
( - 2 An embodiment of the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example and reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a Safety-Light Plug of the present invention.
The term safety is a term given to the desired function of the lights that are activated when electrical failure is detected.
The term system is the term given to the integral parts of the SafetyLight Plug that detects the failure of an electrical supply, and on detecting a [allure activates the battery powered lights.
The term socket is the description given to sockets that are usually a standard
three pin or two pin 240 volt / 110 volt 13 amp and are wall floor or ceiling mounted, and are in use globally.
Fig 1 also shows the relationship of the devices.
A Safety-Light Plug (1) plugs into sockets (3) (4) (5), each socket being of a different style, but all being of a global standard.
Sockets (3) (4) (5) can accept rectangular or round shaped pins attached to the Safety-Light Plug (1).
The Safety-Light Plug (1) has a system which detects electrical current failure, when plugged into sockets (3) (4) (5).
When the system detects electrical current failure it switches on lights (2) which are powered by a battery system in the Safety-Light Plug (1).

Claims (6)

f CLAIMS
1. A safety-light plug system that will plug in or out of electrical sockets that are usually a standard three pin or two pin 240 volt / 110 volt 13 amp and are wall, floor or ceiling mounted, and are in use globally.
2. A system as claimed in 1 being connected and disconnected by plugging into or out from electrical supply sockets.
3. A system as claimed in 1 or claim 2 that is not integral to an electrical supply and not being a permanent fixture.
4. A system as claimed in any one of the proceeding claims that when plugged into a electrical socket, on detecting through its system, a power failure, activates the systems light.
5. A system as claimed in any one of the proceeding claims a safety light with a power failure detecting system that is battery powered.
6. A safety-light plug that can be fitted wherever an electrical socket is available. A safety-light plug that can be plugged into all standard three pin or two pin sockets fitted in domestic homes or public places.
