Abstract: A safety socket includes hot/neutral slots formed in a bottom of the safety socket, a movable shielding member arranged in the safety socket to correspond to the hot/neutral slots, and an elastic element having two ends respectively fixed to the movable shielding member and a top of the safety socket. With such an arrangement, when the hot/neutral slots simultaneously receive plug prongs to insert therein, the movable shielding member is caused to move toward the top of the safety socket and when the plug prongs are withdrawn, the movable shielding member is returned by elasticity of the elastic element to shield the hot/neutral slots. Through such an operation, the moving direction of the movable shielding member is changeable so that unnecessary space of the safety socket can be eliminate to overcome the problem that a conventional safety socket has a bulky size.

Abstract: A lamp connector comprises a contact and a connector body having an accommodation space accommodating the contact. The contact has a positioning hole. The connector body has a slot extending along an insertion direction of the contact and confining the contact thereinside. The accommodation space has a elastic member with a barb that corresponds to the positioning hole and has a guide slope. The contact can easily overcome elastic force of the elastic member, overpass the guide slope to go into the accommodation space and is longitudinally confined to the slot. Then, elastic force springs the barb into the positioning hole. Thus, the contact is transversely positioned in the plastic body. Thereby, the contact can be assembled to the plastic body faster, more conveniently and more firmly; the electric connection of the male plug and the female socket is more stable and more resistant to electromagnetic interference.
