Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a receptacle device and a multi-

The present invention can easily separate the plug inserted in the terminal insertion hole without applying excessive force and also can prevent the foreign matter and the like from being introduced into the inside by closing the plug insertion hole when the plug is not inserted. And a multi-tap including the same.

Generally, an outlet is a device that supplies electric power to an electric / electronic product by connecting a plug provided in a power cord of various electric and electronic products and indoor wiring installed in a building. It is a type installed in a wall or a floor, And possible exposure type multi tap.

In the case of the multi-tap, at least one socket is provided so that a plurality of plugs can be coupled. In the conventional case, when the plug coupled to the socket is detached, the user pulls the plug with a certain force and separates the socket.

Particularly, when the plug is detached from the socket, the user performs a process of supporting the multi-tab with one hand and pulling the other hand by pulling the plug.

However, the above-described method has a problem that the separation process is troublesome and the separation is difficult even in a narrow space. In addition, in the case of a weak woman or an elderly person, the plug can not be easily separated and the plug is kept in a state of being coupled to the socket, thereby causing unnecessary power consumption.

On the other hand, conventionally, a method of separating a plug coupled to a socket more easily has been developed. Typically, when the plug is rotated at a predetermined angle by having a rotatable means inside the socket, the plug can be separated from the power terminal and separated. In addition, the socket has a separating means that serves as a leverage, and a button portion connected to the separating means is provided outside the multi-tap, so that when the user presses the button portion, the plug can be separated from the power source terminal and separated.

However, as described above, the improved multi-tap also requires a space for rotation in order to rotate the plug at a predetermined angle, and further interferes with other plugs connected to peripheral sockets when the plug is rotated. Also, the method of driving the separating means to separate the plug from the power source terminal by pressing the button portion is also difficult to operate with one hand, and there is a problem that the separating means or the button portion is damaged because the button portion must be pressed more than a certain force.

In addition, in the case of a terminal insertion hole in which a plug is not conventionally connected, there is a high possibility that a foreign matter is introduced due to the opening of the inlet, and furthermore, if foreign matter is stacked near a power supply terminal through a terminal insertion hole, There was a problem.
