Abstract

An electrical socket (10) comprises a housing (11) with a front face (12) provided with holes (13) which are intended to receive, axially inserted therein, pins of an electric plug. At least some holes (13) have, arranged behind them, first electrical contact elements (24, 26) intended for electrical contact with the pins of an electric plug inserted in the holes (13) and the socket also comprises electric terminals (21, 23) intended for connection of a power supply for the electrical contact elements (24, 26). The electrical contact elements (24, 26) are supported by a frame (17) which is present inside the housing (11) and which is movable, between a first position and a second position, in a plane transverse to the direction of axial insertion of the pins inside the holes (13). In one position the first electrical contact elements (24, 26) are electrically connected to the respective electric terminals (21, 23) and in the other position at least one of the electrical contact elements (24, 26) is electrically isolated from the respective electric terminal (21, 23). In this way the movement of a plug in the socket causes activation or deactivation of the plug power supply.

Claims (10)

1. Electrical socket (10) comprising a housing (11) with a front face (12) provided with holes (13) intended for the axial insertion therein of pins of an electric plug, at least some of the holes (13) having, arranged behind them, first electrical contact elements (24, 26) intended for electrical contact with the pins of an electric plug inserted inside the holes (13), the socket further comprising first electric terminals (21. 23) intended for connection of a power supply for the electrical contact elements (24, 26), characterized in that the first electrical contact elements (24, 26) are supported by a frame (17) which is present inside the housing (11) and which is slidable, between a first position and second position, in a rectilinear direction in a plane transverse to the direction of axial insertion of the pins inside the holes (13), in one position the first electrical contact elements (24, 26) being electrically connected to the respective electrical terminals (21, 23) and in the other position at least one of the first electrical contact elements (24, 26) being electrically isolated from the respective electric terminal (21, 23).
2. Socket according to claim 1, characterized in that the movement of the frame (17) between the first and second position is performed by the displacement of a plug with the pins inserted inside the holes (13) and moved in said rectilinear direction.
3. Socket according to claim 1, characterized in that said first contact elements (24, 26) are at least two in number and in the second position both of them are electrically isolated from the respective electric terminals (21 , 23).
4. Socket according to claim 1 , characterized in that, behind the holes (13), a further contact element (25) is provided, stably connected to a further electric terminal (25) which is intended for an earth connection.
5. Socket according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least one electrical contact element (24, 26) comprises a contact area (33) which is movable so as to rest against a corresponding contact area (34) of the corresponding electric terminal (21 , 23) upon displacement of the frame (17).
6. Socket according to claim 1 , characterized in that the electric terminals (21, 22, 23) are in the form of clamps which face outwards from the housing in order to receive the ends of stripped electric wires.
7. Socket according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises engaging elements (15) intended to engageably mount the socket on a frame or in a supporting box.
8. Socket according to claim 1 , characterized in that the holes (13) and the contact elements (24, 25, 26) have a form suitable for receiving pins of at least one plug of the first type and, alernatively, of at least one plug of the second type which differ from each other in terms of cross-section and/or arrangement of the pins, and for making contact with these pins.
9. Socket according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a safety device (41) which is movable between a position for closing and a position for opening at least some holes (13) upon simultaneous introduction of pins of a plug inside said at least some holes.
10. Socket according to claim 1, characterized in that the holes (13) are three in number, arranged at the vertices of a triangle.
