  • Patent number: 4627683
    Abstract: An electrical outlet arranged to be positioned in a cut out in a furniture panel or the like. The body of the outlet is fabricated of a resilient, flexible material and has two generally planar, parallel spaced apart surfaces. Each of these surfaces contains a plurality of saw-toothed shaped detents arranged to engage corresponding surfaces about the cutout. In a first direction, the insertion direction, the detents cause the surfaces to deflect to permit insertion but attempted withdrawal causes engagement of the detents with the cut out surfaces to prevent withdrawal. The remaining surfaces of the outlet body are curved to prevent rotation of the outlet and to facilitate deflection and recovery of the outlet body. One or more sets of receptacle terminals with electrical conductors and electrical plugs coupled thereto are molded into the outlet to provide a unitary structure.
