Functional indoor electrical wall outlet cover
11652312 · 2023-05-16 · ·

An indoor electrical wall outlet cover permitting functional use of an electrical wall outlet while concealing the plug contact openings of the outlet. The cover has a functional electrical plug that inserts into the wall outlet and is connected to an extended electrical cord having at its distal end a direct connection to a small appliance, lamp, or electronic device for indirect use of the wall outlet. In one embodiment, the cover is essentially featureless in outward appearance, and when positioned over the wall outlet, the cover fully hides the wall outlet from view. The functional electrical plug has electrical connection pins that are bent at a angle enabling the cover to function without extending any significant degree outward of the wall outlet, so that furniture or the connected appliance, lamp, or device may be positioned effectively flush against the wall in front of the covered wall outlet.

SOCKET CONNECTOR DEVICE CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

A socket connector device for mating with a central processing unit having conductive portions is provided. The socket connector device includes a circuit module, a terminal module, and a cover plate. The terminal module is placed on the circuit module. The terminal module includes a terminal block. The terminal module includes a terminal block, multiple rows of terminals integrally formed with the terminal block, and a support housing protecting the terminal block. Each terminal includes a first contact end and a second contact end corresponding to each other. The second contact end protrudes from the support housing. Each first contact end electrically contacts one conductive portion, and each second contact end electrically contacts the circuit module. The cover plate is rotatably assembled on the terminal module, so that the conductive portions of the central processing unit electrically contact or do not contact the terminals of the terminal block.

Electrical connector with integrated sealing mechanism

An electrical connector can include a receptacle disposed in a housing. The housing can include a second end and an openable first end having at least two housing portions that are movable relative to each other between: an open position in which the receptacle is accessible by a plug through the housing portions; and a closed position in which the receptacle is not accessible by the plug through the housing portions. At least one of the housing portions can be biased toward the open position. The electrical connector can further include a grip coupled to the housing and movable relative to the housing between a first position that permits movement of the housing portions to the open position; and a second position in which the grip overlies the at least one biased-open housing portion such that the grip prevents movement of the housing portions to the open position.

Assemblies for sealing cable connections

A system for sealing a cable connection against external elements includes a duct, a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion. The duct has first and second ends and is configured to internally accommodate at least one cable connection element and an end of a cable. The first sealing portion is engageable to the first end of the duct such that when the first sealing portion is engaged to the first end of the duct, a watertight seal is created. The second sealing portion is engageable to the second end of the duct such that when the second sealing portion is engaged to the second end of the duct and the end of the cable is engaged to the second sealing portion, a watertight seal is created between the second sealing portion and the second end of the duct and between the second sealing portion and the end of the cable.

Electrical Connector Assembly

An electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a hood defining a mating opening. The second connector has a housing body configured to be received in the hood, a rear end wall formed continuous with the housing body and projecting outward from the housing body in a circumferential direction, a lock arm configured to prevent disengagement of the first connector and the second connector, and a cover disposed at the rear end wall covering a portion of the lock arm. A front end surface of the rear end wall facing the second connector forms a uniformly continuous flat surface in a region including the cover.

Electrical Connector

An electrical connector comprises a housing and a contact held by the housing. The housing has a hood including a receiving space for receiving a mating connector and a pair of first inner surfaces extending along a vertical direction. The first inner surfaces face the receiving space and are disposed at a first interval in a horizontal direction. Each of the first inner surfaces includes a first inclined surface extending a predetermined distance from a front end of the hood in a mating direction toward an opposite rear end of the hood.
