The electrical box, switch and plug-in mechanism is an revolutionary improved electrical box design, which the newly improved design of the electrical box facilitates prompt and safe installation of the newly designed electrical box, providing ease of installation to the user/installer. The newly improved electrical box, provides a more user/installer friendly environment, reducing installation time and reducing difficulty and/or installment of the electrical box, electrical switches and electrical plug-ins. Which in turn increases safety to the user/installer with replacement of electrical switches, electrical plug-ins and/or electrical boxes. Replacement of existing electrical boxes with the newly improved electrical box design allows the user/installer to easily and quickly replace electrical switch(s) and/or electrical plug-in(s) without touching/interfacing with electrical wiring within the improved electrical box plug-in type design. The newly improved electrical box contains electrical terminals for connection of electrical quick connect plug-in(s) allowing the installer to install/connect the electrical switch(s) or electrical plug-in(s) or other mechanical devices within the electrical box finalizing the electrical circuit connection. Installation of the electrical box plug-in type design increases safety to the user/installer when installing/connecting an electrical switch(s) or electrical plug-in(s), providing safety, quick and easy installation to the user/installer.

Improvements of the newly designed electrical box will not alter operation of current electrical switch(s) and/or electrical plug-in(s), the electrical box reduces exposure to electrical wiring within the electrical box increasing safety to the user/installer. Connectibility of the electrical wiring to the newly designed electrical box eliminates exposure to electrical wiring protecticting the user/installer when installing/connecting electrical switche(s) or electrical plug-in(s) to the electrical box.

Specific design features/improvements are incorporated into the electrical box are unlike the design of conventional electrical boxes. Design features and improvements include: male/female electrical wire receptacle terminals, labeled electrical wiring receptacle terminals, socket head receptacle fastening set screws and threaded electrical wiring

A charging device for a vehicle includes: a charge port connected to a charge cable and accessible from the outside of the vehicle; a locking device locking the charge cable to the charge port; a battery configured to be charged by electric power supplied from the charge cable; a button including an icon that is turned on according to a lock setting state and accessible from the outside of the vehicle; and a processor configured to change a lock setting state of the charge cable and the charge port according to a user input received through the button, turn on or turn off the icon included in the button according to the lock setting state, and control locking of the locking device according to the lock setting state.

A wall outlet with extendable electrical receptacles is provided. The wall outlet is mountable into the wall outlet cavity of an existing structure. The wall outlet includes extendable electrical receptacles that are extendable from the wall outlet via electrical cables that are wound around a spool. Each electrical cable is wound around a section of the spool, such that it may be unwound, independently, therefrom. The electrical receptacles are attached to ends of the cables and are in electrical communication therewith. A user extends an electrical receptacle from the wall outlet by pulling the electrical receptacle in a first direction, which unwinds the electrical cable from the spool. Each section of the spool is coupled to an actuator that when triggered rotates the corresponding section of the spool in a second direction, which winds the electrical cable around the spool and retracts the electrical receptacle back into the wall outlet.

The present invention is generally related to an apparatus for use with an electrical outlet to improve electrical device fit and more particularly related to an apparatus for providing a tighter fit for electrical power blades of the plug portion of an electric powered device within a standard electrical outlet so as to prevent the electrical power blades from slipping out of the electrical outlet during use of the electrical device.

An article and method for securing electric and data connection plugs to an outlet are disclosed. The article includes an outlet cover with anchoring points and an encasing hood containing a plug with engagement mechanisms to engage with the anchoring points. In an alternate embodiment the article includes a flexible elastomeric device with open portions to secure a plug and cord and cross portions to secure to anchoring points on the outlet cover. The methods include releasably securing the articles to the outlet cover.

Example retainer apparatus and related methods are disclosed. An example retainer apparatus disclosed herein includes a post having a first end to be received by an opening of a wall plate cover of an outlet and a second end opposite the first end. At least a portion of the post has a plurality of grooves positioned between the first end and the second end. The plurality of grooves forming a retainer-receiving portion. A plug retainer is moveably coupled to the post. The plug retainer to slide along the retainer-receiving portion in a linear direction relative to the grooves when the plug retainer is moved relative to the retainer-receiving portion of the post.

An electrical plug connector for a vehicle comprises a plug with a plug casing in which a contact chamber is formed, an electrical contact part arranged in the contact chamber, a locking bolt for releasably attaching a plug-in contact to the contact part, and a socket to be plugged with the plug, a socket casing and a plug-in contact attached thereto. The plug connector has a locking slide attachable to the plug casing that is mounted on the casing for displacement at least into a locking position in a direction transverse to the plugging direction of the plug, to lock the plug to the socket. The locking slide has a guide slot extending substantially transversely to the plugging direction and having an inclined plane to guide the locking bolt of the contact part as it is moved into the locking position.

An electrical outlet wall plate includes a plate having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a peripheral edge. The outlet wall plate defines a socket opening configured to receive an electrical outlet socket and defining a fastener opening configured to receive a fastener configured to secure the outlet wall plate to the outlet socket. The outlet wall plate further includes a plug stabilizing feature having an inner wall, an outer wall, and a top wall. The plug stabilizing feature projects from the outer surface of the plate and at least partially surrounding a perimeter of the socket opening. The outlet wall plate limits lateral and vertical movement of the plug terminals in the socket and protects the operator from inadvertent contact with plug terminals the as the plug is inserted into the socket.
