  • Patent number: 9444173
    Abstract: A retractile power outlet assembly for a vehicle includes a socket body including a first electrical contact providing an electrical current from a power source and a displaceable retractile cap carrying a second electrical contact. A resilient member disposed in the socket body biases the displaceable cap away from the first electrical contact. In turn, a power plug is provided, configured for mating engagement with an interior of the socket body. The socket body further includes a holder cap against which the resilient member urges the displaceable retractile cap to sealingly occlude the socket body. The displaceable retractile cap further includes a head portion for carrying the second electrical contact, the head portion including a flange configured to receive a sealing gasket to provide that sealingly occluding fit. The head portion further includes a bore configured to receive the third electrical contact therethrough to touch the second electrical contact.
