A safety structure in a three-hole socket assembly, comprising:
- a canopy, an inner lid and a safety device, a surface of the canopy is equipped with a ground hole, a B plus hole and a semi-circular neutral hole located independent of the ground hole and the B plus hole;
- the inner lid is located between conductors in the three-hole socket assembly and an inner wall of the canopy;
- on the surface of the inner lid is provided with a ground passage hole, a B plus passage hole and a neutral passage hole, each corresponding with relevant hole provided on the surface of the canopy, characterized in that:
- the safety device, comprising a left detent, a right detent and a spring, the safety device is structured such that the left detent being a step member having a high step section and a low step section, a pusher is provided on one side of the high step section, the top of the pusher is formed into a first ramp, a strut is provided on the other side of the high step section, a bottom surface of the high step section is formed into a container channel, also a rectangular shoe is formed on one side of the bottom surface of the low step section of the left detent, the right detent is an L shape piece, a pusher is formed on a forward point of one side of the L shape piece, the top of the pusher of the right detent is formed into a second ramp;
- the left detent and the right detent are assembled together by overlap match, so that the right detent is positioned right into the container channel beneath the left detent, while the pusher on the right detent just circumvents the pusher on the left detent, so that the two pushers are brought abutted upon each other, to bring the first and the second ramps into a V shape configuration, the spring seated between both detents to push both detents apart, the safety device is installed on the inner lid of the socket assembly, with both detents of the safety device in a spreadout position just covering up the ground passage hole and the B plus passage hole, and both pushers covering up the neutral passage hole in the meanwhile;
- the neutral insert hole on the canopy being located just above the midpoint of a straight line interconnecting both pushers, the ground hole and the B plus hole being located respectively above the pusher of the left detent, the pusher of the right detent, in perfect symmetry with the ground passage hole and B plus passage hole underneath, and that consummates a safety structure for a three-hole socket assembly advocated hereunder.
