An electrical receptacle assembly including first and second prong receiving members, a housing and a tamper resistant member. The housing has the prong receiving members positioned therein and electrically isolated from each other. The tamper resistant member is slidingly coupled to the housing. The tamper resistant member is restricted from sliding if only a first portion of the tamper resistant member is pressed upon proximate to one of the prong receiving members.

An elevated outlet assembly includes a tripod that has a base and a plurality of legs each extending downwardly from the base. Each of the legs engages a support surface thereby elevating the base upwardly from the support surface. A disk is disposed on the base and a plurality of female electrical outlets is each integrated into the disk to receive a power plug from an electronic device. Each of the female electrical outlets is elevated when the tripod is positioned on the support surface to inhibit the power plug from the electronic device from coming into contact with moisture on the support surface. A power cord is coupled to and extends away from the disk and the power cord can be plugged into a power source to supply electrical power to the respective electronic device.

The embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a replaceable socket device and an adapter. The replaceable socket device includes at least one adapting element and an adapter. Each of the at least one adapting elements includes a first polarity terminal, a second polarity terminal, and a third polarity terminal. The adapter includes at least one adapter interface, a first polarity adapting member, a second polarity adapting member, and a third polarity adapting member. When the at least one adapting element and the at least one adapter interface are engaged with each other, the at least one adapting element is electrically connected to the at least one adapter interface.

An electrical outlet may be stored (e.g., stocked at a manufacturer and/or a warehouse) in a bulk form and may be constructed to have a desired color, finish, and/or material prior to shipment to a customer. The outlet may comprise a rear bezel portion having a front surface with openings configured to receive blades of a plug of an electrical device for electrically connecting the electrical device to a power source and a front bezel portion configured to be mounted over the rear bezel portion. The rear bezel portion may have openings aligned with the respective openings of the rear bezel portion for receiving the blades of the plug. In addition, the electrical outlet may have a temporary bezel when stocked at the manufacturer and/or the warehouse. The temporary bezel may be removed from the outlet and a permanent bezel may be installed on the outlet prior to shipment.

A tamper resistant electrical outlet maintains its electrical contacts in a non-energized state until an object is inserted into an outlet opening for a different electrical contact. In this way, an object contacting the electrical contact behind one contact opening will not be subjected to electrical current unless another object is simultaneously inserted sufficiently far into another outlet opening. Insertion of an object, such as the prong of an electrical plug, into either outlet opening will move an actuator, thereby moving a respective live contact toward the electrical contact that is associated with the other outlet opening. Although the electrical outlet does not preclude objects from being inserted into its outlet openings and engaging the associated electrical contacts, only by simultaneous insertion of two different objects (such as two prongs of an electrical plug) into the different outlet openings will the electrical contacts become energized.

A controllable electrical outlet may be used to control one or more standard electrical outlets. The controllable electrical outlet may include a first connection configured to be electrically coupled to a hot connection, a second connection configured to be electrically coupled to a standard electrical outlet, and a third connection configured to be electrically coupled to a neutral connection. The controllable electrical outlet may also include a load control circuit, a communication circuit, and a control circuit. The load control circuit may be electrically coupled in series between the first and second screw terminals to control power delivered to the standard electrical outlet, and the control circuit may be coupled to the load control circuit and the communication circuit. The control circuit may be configured to control power delivered to the standard electrical outlet in response to a wireless signal received via the communication circuit.

A power adapter assembly structure is disclosed and includes a circuit board, a socket and at least one elastic element. The socket is disposed adjacent to the circuit board. The circuit board and the socket are configured to collaboratively form at least one abutting surface and at least one fixing surface. The elastic element is connected between the circuit board and the socket, and includes a main body, a fixed portion and a hanging arm. The fixed portion and the hanging arm are disposed at two opposite ends of the main body, the fixed portion spatially corresponds to the fixing surface, and the hanging arm constantly abuts the abutting surface. A height is formed between the main body of the at least one elastic element and the at least one abutting surface, and less than a length of the hanging arm extended from the main body.
