Abstract
A safety socket is disclosed, comprising a socket body, an outer mold sleeve, a torsion rotating spring and a protective block body, and when any foreign object may be potentially inserted into the socket body, the foreign object will be effectively blocked by the protective block body such that it cannot smoothly enter therein, thus achieving the feature of safety protection.
Claims5
A safety socket, comprising:
- a socket body, having a case component which is internally configured with plural inner socket holes, with the opening of each of such inner socket holes being openly configured on one side of the case component, in which a first slope is configured between two of the openings and a conductive component is respectively installed in the inside of each of such inner socket hole;
- an outer mold sleeve, installed on the side of the case component having the opening, in which plural outer socket holes are openly configured on the outer mold sleeve and a groove chamber is also openly configured inside the outer mold sleeve, with the positions and number of such outer socket holes corresponding to each of the inner socket holes such that each of the outer socket holes respectively connects in communication with each of the inner socket holes by way of the groove chamber;
- a torsion rotating spring, located within the groove chamber and having a fixation end fixed to the case component and a torsion rotating end, in which the torsion rotating end may rotate relatively to the fixation end as the center of the circle upon being affected by external force, and return to its original position once the external force is removed;
- and
- a protective block body, located in the groove chamber, in which one side of the protective block body is convexly configured with two stop bumps respectively corresponding to such two outer socket holes therein, and the other side of the protectively block body is convexly configured with a guiding tilted bump whose outer side forms a second slope attaching to the first slope, with the inner side thereof forming a corner recess for hook-attaching to the torsion rotating end;
- in addition, the protective block body is also openly configured with a through-hole which is adjacent to the side of the stop bump comparatively remote to second slope.
