Definitions

  • This invention relates to an illuminated electrical plug.
  • a safety lamp in an electrical plug that is connected into a wall outlet socket, with a light emitting diode (LED), a neon lamp or the like spanning the live and neutral poles. This lamp illuminates the plug to indicate that current is flowing to an electrical appliance, lighting or other device.
  • LED light emitting diode
  • plug assemblies such as the so-called "Shuka” plug assembly - in other words an assembly of a male and a female portion, the male portion leading from an electrical appliance or device such as a power tool, garden implement (lawn mower) or other appliance or device; and the female portion leading to a plug for connection with a wall outlet.
  • an electrical appliance or device such as a power tool, garden implement (lawn mower) or other appliance or device
  • the male portion of a plug assembly of the above type includes illumination means for indicating current flow and, in particular, a lamp located electrically across the live and neutral poles or leads.
  • the plug assembly is a Shuka type plug assembly and in a particular example of the invention the casing or a portion thereof of the male and/or female portion has a translucent or transparent window or is manufactured from translucent or transparent material so that the portion is well illuminated.
  • a LED or neon lamp may be electrically connected across the live and neutral leads or the poles themselves; and is held in a suitable formation in the plug - for example a formation integral with the plug or, more exactly, with the pin-retaining members.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view of a Shuka plug assembly
  • Figure 2 is cross-sectional view through the male portion thereof.
  • Figure 3 is a similar view to that of Figure 3, of another plug.
  • a Shuka type plug assembly includes a male 10 and a female 12 portion.
  • the female portion generally leads to a conventional plug receivable into a wall socket outlet.
  • the male portion leads to an appliance, power tool, lawn mower or other garden equipment.
  • the male portion includes a live (L) and a neutral (N) pole and these are supported in an insert plate 14.
  • This insert plate includes finger formations 16 that receive a LED or neon lamp 19. This lamp is connected across the live and neutral lines 18, 20.
  • the lamp is illuminated when current is flowing, thereby indicating to the user that the appliance or device is ready for use. It also serves to warn others that the appliance or device is live.
  • the casing 22 of the plug is translucent.
  • Figure 3 is a male portion of another type.
  • the invention may be applied to a wide variety of plugs, some of which are represented in the annexure.
