Electrical adaptor and method of use thereof

Abstract

An electrical adaptor (100) is provided including first electrical connection means (116) for allowing electrical connection of the adaptor with an electrical socket (148) and/or electrical supply in use, at least second electrical connection means for allowing electrical connection of an electrical plug or further electrical connection with the adaptor, and timing means for electrical current to be supplied through said adaptor in use for one or more pre-determined time periods. The timing means includes at least first (102) and second (136) parts which are capable of undergoing relative movement in use between a first position, wherein electrical current can flow through said adaptor between the first and at least second electrical connection means, and a second position, wherein electrical current is prevented from flowing through the adaptor between the first and at least second electrical connection means.
