Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a shutter for a socket and a socket. The shutter comprises a base comprising a first positioning member extending upwardly from a bottom surface within the base; a first slider comprising: a first slider body; a support shaft extending from opposite sides of the first slider body, movably and rotatably coupling the first slider body to the base; a first guide surface and a second guide surface respectively provided corresponding to a live wire jack and a neutral wire jack of the socket; and a resilient member configured to resiliently couple the first slider to the first positioning member such that the first guide surface and the second guide surface are in positions blocking the sleeve; wherein the first slider body is adapted to rotate around the support shaft when only a single insert acts on one of the first guide surface and the second guide surface such that the first slider cooperates with a stopper in the socket to block the single insert from contacting a sleeve of the socket.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
