  • Patent number: 6736666
    Abstract: This invention relates to electrical plugs capable of being easily removed from their associated receptacles with the aid of a pull ring. This improved pull ring is either pulled or pushed only in the direction that is perpendicular to the prong side of an electrical plug whereby making the storage and operation of the pull ring much easier to operate than the typical pull-ringed electrical plug arrangements that are currently available.

  • Patent number: 6443746
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an improved electrical receptacle such that more than one of such electrical receptacles are capable of being electrically coupled together without electrical wires. This feature is particularly advantageous for power adapter products such as power strips and extension boxes. A preferred embodiment includes an electrical receptacle having metal contact strips extending outward from two opposite side faces of its receptacle housing. These metal contact strips are adapted to be separately and electrically coupled to the hot, neutral and ground prongs of an inserted power plug. The receptacle is further configured so that when the metal-strip sides of two of such receptacles are disposed in close proximity of each other, the metal contact strips of the receptacles would then be physically paired. The metal contacts are paired in a manner whereby electrical connection is established and whereby the two receptacles are easily fastened.
