Abstract
A plug connector engageable with an electrical outlet comprising an insulating body encapsulating circuitry providing pathways for electrical current delivered by said connector to an associated power cord and having a deep, blind-end, socket for an elongated circuit breaker; there being a gap in said circuitry interrupting a said pathway with both terminals of the gap in position at the blind-end of said socket to be bridged by said circuit breaker.
Claims7
A plug connector temporarily engageable with an electrical outlet for electrification of a load attached to the connector, comprising:
- connector terminals respectively interconnectible with corresponding terminals at said electrical outlet;
- an axially elongated insulating body encapsulating circuitry in said connector providing pathways for electrical current flowing between said outlet and said load;
- a gap in said circuitry interrupting a said pathway;
- said body having a generally axially aligned, deep and narrow blind socket opening therein having an opening on the exterior of the insulating body for a circuit breaker bridging said gap and having closed and open attitudes for respectively closing and opening said gap, and
- said gap having terminals located at the blind end of said socket opening for connecting to said circuit breaker, thereby restricting access to said gap.
