Description

[0001] ROTATING OUTLET FOR POWER SAVING [0002]

The present invention relates to a power-saving rotary socket, and more particularly, to a power-saving rotary socket that can easily be disconnected and disconnected, while preventing metallic objects such as chopsticks from passing through the socket of the socket, .

The outlet is connected to the electric indoor wiring that supplies electricity to the place where the electricity is used. These receptacles supply electricity to the load through the plug to be connected. The receptacle is formed with an insertion port into which the plug terminal is inserted. Chopsticks or metal objects with thin, pointed ends can come into contact with the power terminals through the receptacles, leading to electric shocks and serious loss of life. Therefore, measures to manage the outlet more safely are required.

In addition, Korean Patent No. 10-1015632 (hereinafter referred to as "prior art") discloses a rotatable switch plug.

The rotatable switch plug disclosed in the prior art has an assembly hole formed at the center of the front surface, a main body having a power terminal connected to a power cord at both sides of the assembly hole, and a collet shaft A connection cover having a connecting terminal mounted on both sides of the collet shaft, and a connecting member, which is rotatably provided between the main body and the connection cover, and which is in contact with a power terminal of the main body and a connection terminal of the connection cover, Is formed in an arc shape composed of one conductor, and the remaining portion of the arc-shaped conductor is made of a non-conductor.

In the case of the prior art, simply turn the rotatable switch provided on the plug to supply or cut off power. Therefore, it is not possible to prevent electric shock accidents that occur when chopsticks or metal objects with thin and pointed ends come into contact with the power terminals through the receptacle of the receptacle. Also, since the assembly of the assembly is complicated, it is difficult to implement and it is required to be applied to every plug of the electronic device, so that the manufacturing cost increases. Therefore, there is a problem that the practicality is remarkably deteriorated.
