  • Patent number: 8294028
    Abstract: A power supply socket panel comprises a panel enclosure, at least one movable connector, a panel supporter and at least one elastic foot. The panel supporter is mounted to the movable connector, and together they are secured to a power supply socket or switch. The panel enclosure is secured to the panel supporter through the movable connector and the elastic foot is mounted between the panel supporter and the movable connector. During disassembly, the connection component is pressed with hard tools such as a small screwdriver so that the elastic foot is in a compressed state, allowing the panel enclosure to separate from the connection component. In this way, the panel enclosure can be removed. This panel is characterized by a simple structure and convenient assembly/disassembly.

  • Patent number: 8233251
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel circuit interrupting device, preferably a ground fault circuit interrupter, which contains a reset button that is capable of interacting with a test button to perform an end-of-life-component test on the circuit interrupting device. The circuit interrupting device also contains a reset switch coupled to the reset button which is capable of disallowing reset if the device is miswired and/or fails the end-of-life-component test. Only when the circuit interrupting device is properly wired, in a tripped state, and all of the key components in the circuit interrupting device are working properly, the depression of the reset button allows the device to be reset.

  • Publication number: 20110273803
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a leakage detection protective circuit. This leakage detection protective circuit includes a rectification circuit, a current-limiting resistance, a controlled silicon rectifier (SCR), a power supply main circuit switch linked with a reset button and a tripping coil with a built-in iron core. The rectification circuit, tripping coil, and SCR are connected in series with each other, forming a circuit. The control pole of the SCR is connected, through the current-limiting resistance and the diode, to the shielding layer of the power output wires. When a leakage failure occurs, the shielding layer connected to the control pole of the controlled silicon rectifier becomes electrified, triggering the controlled silicon rectifier. A magnetic field is then generated within the tripping coil and its built-in iron core moves, causing the reset button to trip. This invention is characterized by a compact circuit and robust operation.

  • Patent number: 7887346
    Abstract: A safety shutter device for an electrical receptacle comprises left and fight overlapping sliding blocks. A sliding plate supports a small sliding block. A supporting bracket supports the fight and left sliding blocks and the sliding plate. A first flexible component is between the small sliding block and the sliding plate. The sliding plate and the sliding block are between the right sliding block and the supporting bracket. During a static state, a locking block is mated with a tapered nub to form a self-locking mechanism such that the left, right, and small sliding blocks, the sliding plate, and the supporting bracket are static relative to one another and cover conductive plug bushes under the supporting bracket. When a plug is inserted into a socket of the receptacle, the locking block separates from the tapered nub to unlock the safety shutter device.
