An electrical wiring device including a housing including a front cover coupled to at least one body member, the front cover including a plurality of receptacle openings in a major front surface thereof, the plurality of receptacle openings being configured to receive a plurality of plug blades of a corded electrical plug, wherein the plurality of receptacle openings includes at least a ground prong opening and the at least one body member includes at least one set of receptacle contacts including a hot receptacle contact and a neutral receptacle contact; and a shutter assembly positioned within the housing and including a first shutter member coupled to a second shutter member, wherein the first shutter member is configured to move from a first position to a second position when a ground prong is inserted through the ground prong opening.

The present disclosure provides an anti-electric shock structure and a socket. In a non-conductive state, the two conductive pieces are respectively arranged in front of the elastic piece parts of the two conductive contact pieces at intervals. A first socket is formed in the jack part. When a plug is plugged into the first socket, one plug blade of the plug extrudes the sliding mechanism to push the two elastic piece parts, so that the two elastic piece parts can touch the conductive pieces. When a non-plug conductive object is inserted into the first socket, the conductive contact pieces cannot conduct electricity because the conductive object cannot push the sliding mechanism to the position where the elastic piece parts are in contact with the conductive pieces, so that the anti-electric shock structure has a good anti-electric shock function.

There is provided a faceplate for an electrical receptacle having a safety measure, and a method thereof. The faceplate including: a cover mountable on an electrical receptacle, the cover having cover apertures corresponding to electrical terminals of electrical sockets; a pair of horizontally opposed pinching members on the cover; and a shield connected to the pair of horizontally opposed pinching members and mutually biased to block access to at least one of the electrical sockets, the shield configured to permit access to the at least one of the electrical sockets while the pair of horizontally opposed pinching members are engaged by a user.

A safety socket device includes a carrier, a first movable assembly and a second movable assembly. The carrier has a first plug hole and a second plug hole. The first movable assembly including a first moving element is transversely movably disposed in the carrier. The first moving element has two first guide portions, and the two first guide portions are moved for exposing the first plug hole from the first moving element by an external pushing force. The second movable assembly including a second moving element is longitudinally movably disposed in the carrier. The second moving element has a second guide portion, and the second guide portion is moved for exposing the second plug hole from the second moving element by the external pushing force.

The invention is applicable to the technical field of electronics, and provides a jump wire-free patch board comprising a patch board body and a power line. The patch board body comprises at least a switch module, a power supply conversion device, a jack module, an elastic metal sheet assembly and a protection module. All components of the patch board body are integrally packaged on a circuit board, the protection module comprises an overload protection switch and a lightning protection and anti-surge device, the power supply conversion device comprises at least one of a high voltage AC output terminal and/or a low voltage DC output terminal, and the protection module is electrically connected to the high voltage AC output terminal and/or the low voltage DC output terminal through the elastic metal sheet assembly. Whereby, the invention realizes a more safe connection structure without jump wire.

A tamper resistant electrical receptacle comprises a housing including a cover having at least one plug outlet formed therethrough, the plug outlet configured to receive both line and neutral blades of an electrical plug. The electrical receptacle further comprises electrical contacts positioned within the housing below the at least one plug outlet, the electrical contacts being configured to be connect to AC power. A shutter disposed within the housing between the cover and the electrical contacts is slidable between a closed position blocking access to the electrical contacts through the plug outlet and an open position allowing access to the electrical contacts through the plug outlet, the shutter being biased toward the closed position. The shutter is configured to slide from the closed position to the open position only upon simultaneous insertion of both the line and neutral blades of the electrical plug in the plug outlet.

A vehicle charging system includes: a power supply device including a power supply fitting body and provided in a stop space of a vehicle; and a power receiving fitting body that is provided on a bottom of the vehicle and is able to be fitted to and removed from the power supply fitting body in an insertion/removal direction. The power receiving fitting body includes power receiving terminals electrically connected no a battery provided in the vehicle, a power receiving terminal holding part that holds the power receiving terminals, and an opposite space forming part that is arranged adjacent to the power receiving terminal holding part in the insertion/removal direction and forms an opposite space facing the power receiving terminals.

A charging system for charging an electric vehicle at a charging station includes a charge module at the charging station and a charge module at the vehicle. The charge modules include electric contact elements which can be interconnected together. The charging system includes an automatic positioning device configured to move the charging station charge module relative to the vehicle charge module to align and join the charge modules together. The charging system includes an automatic feed device configured to enable the contact elements of the charging station charge module to connect to the contact elements of the vehicle charge module when the charge modules are joined together. The contact elements of the charge modules are configured such that the contact elements can connect to each other without overriding a contact force.

An electrical connector (50) comprises a housing (54b) provided with socket holes (52) for the reception of connector pins of a mating connector. A shutter (58) is provided linearly movable between a first end position, in which it covers socket holes, and a second end position, in which no socket holes are covered. Biasing means (60) are adapted to bias the shutter towards the first end position thereof. By providing the biasing means as at least one torsion spring (60)) having a first leg (60a) and a second leg (60b) interconnected by a helical spring portion (60c), very small dimension of the connector can be achieved.

A dock includes a base, a fixing switch, a release component, a connector, and a connection component. When an electronic device is mounted on the base, the release component must be pressed in order for the fixing switch to be operable, allowing the connection component to drive the connector to connect with the electronic device. When no electronic device is mounted on the base, the connector is received in the base to protect the connector against damage while the dock is being carried around. That the release component must be pressed in order for the fixing switch to be movable protects the connector against damage in a situation where, while the dock is being carried around, the fixing switch is inadvertently pushed, causing the connector to protrude from the dock.
