    Patent number: 6364675
    Abstract: A safety breakaway electric cord mechanism has a specially built plug that can be housed in an appliance such as a coffee maker. The mechanism responds to a tug on the electrical cord by ejecting the cord from the appliance. The user connects the cord into the appliance in a customary straight-in manner. The connection provides a positive locking of the cord to the appliance. The mechanism has a release mechanism that initiates a built-in ejection spring mechanism to force separation of the cord from the appliance.
