  • Quick-release appliance cord assembly
    Publication number: 20040161951
    Abstract: A quick-release plug assembly having a plug body and a socket body for receiving the plug body. Either the plug body or the socket body may include first and second contact posts, and the other may include corresponding first and second contacts spaced to electrically connect to the contact post when the plug body is coupled to the socket body along a coupling axis. The socket body includes outwardly diverging sidewalls and a bottom wall. One of the plug body or the socket body includes a magnet, and the other includes an attractive member which, due to the attraction of the magnet, removably couples the plug body to the socket body. The cord is received by the plug body through an opening in the plug body. The opening receives the cord from a direction which is at an angle relative to the coupling axis when the plug body is coupled to the socket body.
