ADAPTER ASSEMBLY
The present invention provides a power adapter assembly including a first adapter and a second adapter. The first adapter includes a main body and a rotating cover. The main body includes a first electrical contact element. The rotating cover is pivotally connected with the main body and rotated between a first position and a second position. The rotating cover includes a first through hole and a protruding pin. The protruding pin is disposed adjacent to the outer edge of the rotating cover. At the first position, the first through hole and the first electrical contact element are misaligned with each other. At the second position, the first through hole and the first electrical contact element are aligned with each other. The second adapter includes a second electrical contact element, an accommodation space and a guiding groove. The guiding groove is disposed on the inner wall of the accommodation space. When the first adapter and the second adapter are matched with each other, the guiding groove abuts against the protruding pin to drive the rotating cover to the second position, so as to electrically connect the first electrical contact element and the second electrical contact element.

Electrical power transmission and outlet system
The present disclosure relates to an electrical power transmission and outlet system. The electrical power transmission and outlet system may include an electrical power transmission and outlet device and an external power storage unit. The electrical power transmission and outlet device may include a housing having an opening for receiving an external plug, a connector in the housing for connecting with the external power storage unit; and a plurality of electrical conductors in the housing connected to the connector. When the external plug is inserted into the opening, the conductors are electrically connected to the external plug and disconnected from the connector, and when the external plug is pulled out of the opening, the conductors are electrically disconnected from the external plug and reconnected to the connector.
TAMPER RESISTANT MECHANISM FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING DEVICES
Tamper resistant cartridges for electrical devices are provided. The tamper resistant cartridges include a housing and one or more tamper resistant assemblies configured to normally block access to electrical contacts with the electrical device, and to permit access to such electrical contacts when the line phase prongs of a plug are inserted into the electrical device.
Installation element for socket elements
An apparatus provides temporary electrical connections to electrically powered devices. Exemplary arrangements include a base housing (01) that includes a socket (02) therein. Such a socket releasably engages electrical plugs to deliver household current, or may include USB ports or other types of sockets that releasably engage electrical connectors. A housing top cover (10) includes a socket access opening (11) that is in corresponding aligned relation with the socket. A rotatable plate (30) is positioned in underlying relation of the housing top cover and is rotatable in operative supported connection with the base housing. The rotatable plate includes at least one plate opening. The plate is selectively rotatable responsive to manual actuation of a button, between a socket blocked position in which an outer face of the plate blocks access through the socket access opening, and a socket access position in which the plate opening is in corresponding aligned relation with each of the socket and the socket access opening.
Charging connection device for a vehicle
A charging connection device for a vehicle includes a junction box disposed in a recess, a junction box cover flap, and a cover flap. The junction box cover flap and the cover flap are each pivotable into an open position and a closed position. The junction box cover flap covers the junction box in the closed position and the recess is coverable by the cover flap. When the cover flap is displaced from the open position into the closed position the cover flap entrains the junction box cover flap. The junction box cover flap has a first element of a junction box connecting device and the junction box or a component that defines the recess has a second element of the junction box connecting device. In the closed position of the junction box cover flap, the junction box cover flap is held magnetically releasably by the junction box connecting device.
Switched electrical plug lock
An apparatus for controlling use of an electrical device. The apparatus includes at least one power connector, a first electrical plug, an electrical socket, a lock configured to retain an electrical plug in the electrical socket, a switch electrically coupling the at least one power connector and the electrical socket, and wireless communication circuitry communicatively coupled to the switch and configured to receive a signal for causing the switch to electrically couple the at least one power connector and the electrical socket.
CHARGING SOCKET COVER FOR AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED MOTOR VEHICLE
A charging socket cover for an electrically operated motor vehicle having a closing apparatus, a pivoting apparatus and a drive apparatus. The pivoting apparatus is driven by way of the drive apparatus in order to pivot the closing apparatus between a closed position, in which the closing apparatus closes an opening which is made in a vehicle body part of the motor vehicle, and an open position, in which the closing apparatus releases the opening and is arranged substantially behind the vehicle body part. The pivoting apparatus and the drive apparatus are configured to pivot the closing apparatus by way of a rotational movement about a rotational axis and by way of a translational movement parallel to the rotational axis between the closed position and the open position and/or between the open position and the closed position.
Locking electrical device
An electrical receptacle including a body having a plurality of electrical connections, a device face connected to the body and movable with respect to the body, a plurality of electrical plug contacts positioned behind the device face, and wherein the electrical plug contacts retain an electrical plug prong at a first tension when the device face is in a first position and the electrical plug contacts retain the electrical plug prong at a second tension when the device face is in a second position.
Electrical receptacle and tamper-resistant shutter assembly therefor
A shutter assembly is for an electrical receptacle. The electrical receptacle has a base. The shutter assembly includes a first shutter and a second shutter each structured to be coupled to the base and rotate between a FIRST position and a SECOND position, and a slider assembly having a number of slider members each structured to be coupled to the base. The number of slider members includes only one single slider member structured to slide between a THIRD position and a FOURTH position and engage each of the first shutter and the second shutter. Rotation of both of the first shutter and the second shutter from the FIRST position to the SECOND position cooperatively drives the one single slider member from the THIRD position to the FOURTH position in order to provide access through the base.
