[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plug extraction adapter which can easily pull out a plug inserted into an outlet. More specifically, the invention relates to a plug made of a single thin plate, which is inserted into the outlet while being attached. However, the present invention relates to an adapter for pulling out a plug, which does not cause a contact failure or a shortage of insertion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, electric appliances are plugged into an outlet to take power, and used according to the purpose and function. The plug is connected to the power supply device of the electric appliance via a cord.In general, a pair of terminals made of a parallel conductive material is protruded, and these terminals are inserted into an outlet.When inserting the plug, hold the plug body by hand. It is designed to be inserted by pressing the plug body with the terminal in contact with the insertion part of the outlet.
On the other hand, when unplugging the plug, the plug body is pinched and pulled out.

[0003]

By the way, when pulling out the plug, it is necessary to hold the plug body or hold it firmly with fingers as described above. On the other hand, it may be difficult for a weak child or a weak elderly person to grasp and pull out the plug firmly.
In such a case, it is common to pull out the plug by pulling the cord, for example. However, when the cord is pulled out in this manner, a force is applied directly to the connection part between the cord and the cord, that is, the terminal, so that the connection between the cord and the terminal part is disturbed, and a short-circuit or the cord comes off from the terminal as it is. Sometimes. In addition, since the contact between the cord and the plug contacts the plug and the case, the cord may be disconnected when pulled.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and a purpose thereof is to provide a plug withdrawing adapter that can easily pull out a plug without burdening a cord or the like without grasping the plug body. To provide.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is directed to a base made of a single bendable thin plate material and having a finger insertion hole into which a finger can be inserted and pulled. Part, a wing portion integrally provided on both sides of the base portion via a first bent portion so as to be bendable, and a lower end of the wing portion capable of being bent via a second bent portion. Projecting together,
A plug withdrawal adapter is formed from a terminal locking portion having a terminal insertion hole into which the terminal of the plug can be inserted, and a base portion is applied to the front or back surface of the plug and bent at a right angle at the first bent portion. The wings are arranged so that the wings face the side surfaces of the plug when they are bent, and the terminal locking portions face the terminal protruding surfaces of the plugs when bent at right angles at the second bent portion. The terminal can be inserted into an outlet with the terminal inserted into the terminal insertion hole by being bent at the first and second bent portions.

[0006]

In the above means, the first bending portion is bent at a right angle,
The second bent portion is further bent at a right angle so as to face the terminal protruding surface of the terminal locking portion. In this state, the terminal is inserted into the terminal insertion hole and the terminal is inserted into the outlet. Thereby, the base portion is arranged along the front or back surface of the plug, and the engagement hole is located at the tip. Therefore, if a finger is inserted into the engagement hole and pulled, the base of the terminal is pulled by the terminal insertion hole, and the terminal can be easily pulled out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows an initial state of a plug extraction adapter (hereinafter simply referred to as an adapter) 1. As can be seen from this figure, the adapter 1 is provided on the base 4 corresponding to the front part (or the back part) 3 of the plug 2 as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. An engagement portion 6 having a finger insertion hole 5 for hanging a finger;
A wing portion 7 protruding to the side of the base portion 4 and a terminal locking portion 10 protruding leftward in the drawing of the wing portion 7 and having a terminal insertion hole 9 into which the terminal 8 of the plug 2 is inserted. It is integrally formed of a single sheet-like thin plate made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, polyester, polycarbonate, nylon or the like, which has one insulating property and a hinge effect. Further, a first fold curve 11 formed by a streak groove or the like is provided between the base section 4 and the wing section 7, and a first fold curve between the wing section 7 and the terminal locking section 10 is provided. A second folding curve 12 similar to 11 is provided.

These first and second bent curves 11, 1
When the connector 2 is bent at a right angle, the wing 7 faces the side surface 13 of the plug 2 and the terminal engaging portion 10 faces the terminal protruding surface 14 of the plug 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the terminal insertion hole 9 is slightly larger than the cross section of the terminal 8 at a position where the terminal 8 can be inserted in this state.

[0010] The adapter 1 configured as described above is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), the terminal is bent at right angles at the first and second folding curves 11 and 12 so that the terminal locking portion 10 is parallel to the terminal protruding surface 14, and the terminal 8 is inserted into the terminal insertion hole 9. As a result, the base portion 4 faces the front portion 3 and the wing portion 7
, So as to surround the four faces of the plug, and this state is maintained. In this state, the terminal 8 is inserted into an outlet (not shown). The terminal locking portion 10 is interposed between the plug 2 and the outlet.
The thickness of 0 is small, and the insertion amount of the terminal 8 into the outlet does not decrease, and the terminal 8 does not come off due to poor contact or slight impact.

When the use of the electric product is completed, FIG.
The finger 15 is hung on the finger insertion hole 5 and pulled as shown in FIG. As a result, the plug 2 can be easily pulled out of the outlet by pulling, and even when the small plug or the terminal 8 is firmly inserted into the outlet of the outlet, it is extremely easy and without applying excessive force to the cord or the like. Can be pulled out. In this case, a third fold curve 16 that can be bent upward is formed at the boundary between the base portion 4 and the engagement portion 6 as shown in the figure, and the third fold curve 16 can be bent along this fold curve 16 for use.
Finger hooking and pulling out can be performed easily.

Since the adapter 1 is composed of a single plate-shaped material, it can be provided at a low cost, and when not in use, the adapter 1 can be made flat so that it does not take up space when storing. . Furthermore, since a plurality of sheets can be packed in a flat shape, a large number of adapters can be stored.

[0013]

As will be apparent from the above description, according to the present invention constructed as described above, the first and second embodiments are provided.
By bending the terminal along the curve, inserting the terminal into the terminal insertion hole and inserting it into the outlet, when removing it, put your finger on the engagement hole and pull it without grasping or pinching the plug. Can be pulled out. Also,
Since this plug extraction adapter is made of a single plate-like material, it can be provided at low cost and can be made flat when not in use, so that it does not take up space when storing.
