CA 2215250

An electrical receptacle with a releasable locking mechanism is disclosed. A body formed from upper and lower body portions encloses line and neutral contact assemblies and a ground contact assembly. The line and neutral contact assemblies carry a latching mechanism which releasably and automatically engages the holes in the line and neutral prongs of a standard electrical plug. A collar, carried by the body slides between a forward position and a rearward position. The collar is biased to the forward position. Moving the collar rearwardly pivots the latching mechanism, thereby releasing the prongs of the plug. Moving the collar rearwardly and rotating it to the right causes a release hold structure in the collar to engage the latching mechanism, keeping it in the unlocked position. Moving the collar rearwardly and rotating it to the left causes a release disable structure in the collar to engage the latching mechanism, keeping it in the locked position.

Cette invention concerne une prise de courant à mécanisme de verrouillage, constituée d'un corps en deux parties renfermant les contacts tension, neutre et de terre. Les contacts tension et neutre comportent un dispositif de verrouillage qui s'engage automatiquement dans les trous des lames tension et neutre d'une prise standard. Une bague coulisse sur le corps de la prise. Elle est normalement maintenue en position avant par un ressort. Lorsqu'on repousse la bague, le mécanisme de verrouillage pivote et relâche les lames de la prise. Lorsqu'on la repousse et qu'on la tourne dans le sens horaire, le mécanisme est maintenu en position de déverrouillage. Lorsqu'on repousse la bague et qu'on la tourne dans le sens antihoraire, le mécanisme est maintenu en position de verrouillage.
