An adapter capable of protective grounding, the adapter comprising:
- a housing;
- a pair of pins connected to the housing;
- a switch connected to the housing to be translationally movable relative to the housing, the switch including at least a portion exposed to an outside of the housing;
- a main shaft fixed to an inside of the housing;
- at least one wing plate rotatably connected to the main shaft and is open or closed relative to the housing;
- an elastic body provided between the main shaft and the switch;
- and
- at least one arm connected to the switch and pressing the at least one wing plate by integrally moving with the switch.
An adapter disposed on an outlet which defines an outlet groove including a bottom surface in which two outlet holes are defined and includes a grounding terminal provided on one side of the outlet groove, the adapter comprising:
- a housing inserted into the outlet groove;
- a pair of pins connected to the housing and inserted into the two outlet holes;
- a switch connected to the housing to be translationally movable relative to the housing, the switch including at least a portion exposed to an outside of the housing;
- a main shaft fixed to an inside of the housing;
- at least one wing plate rotatably connected to the main shaft and contactable with the grounding terminal;
- an elastic body provided between the main shaft and the switch;
- and
- at least one arm connected to the switch and pressing the at least one wing plate so that the at least one wing plate contacts the grounding terminal.
An adapter capable of protective grounding, the adapter comprising:
- a housing comprising a housing body including an outer side surface from which a receiving groove is recessed;
- a pair of pins connected to the housing;
- a switch connected to the housing to be translationally movable relative to the housing, disposed between the pair of pins, and provided in parallel with the pair of pins, the switch including at least a portion exposed to an outside of the housing;
- a main shaft fixed to an inside of the housing;
- a wing plate rotatably connected to the main shaft;
- an elastic body provided between the main shaft and the switch;
- and
- at least one arm connected to the switch and pressing the wing plate by integrally moving with the switch,
- wherein the wing plate is provided in one of a closed state in which the wing plate is inserted into the receiving groove and an opened state in which the wing plate escapes from the receiving groove.
