ELECTRICAL DEVICE WITH RETRACTABLE GROUNDING PIN AND INDICATING MEANS Abstract of the Disclosure A portable electrical device has a molded body having a cavity closed by a rear wall. Two conductive prongs project through the rear wall for reception into a phase port and a neutral port, respectively, of an electrical outlet. A retract- able grounding pin or prong, when in an extended position, extends ourtwardly from the rear wall in parallel spaced relationship with the two prongs and is receivable by a ground port of the outlet if there is one. When the device is used with an electrical outlet not having a ground port, the grounding pin retracts within the cavity against a spring bias. An indicating pin is operatively connected to the grounding pin and moves, in response to retracting movement of the grounding pin, to an exposed position within a recess in a front wall of the body to provide a visual indication that the device is not grounded by the grounding pin.
