  • Patent number: 7637756
    Abstract: A socket safety apparatus includes an upper cover, a lower cover, a cover body, and a flexible element. The upper cover has two first plug holes. The lower cover is located below the upper cover and has two second plug holes that correspond to the first plug holes. The cover body, movably located between the upper cover and the lower cover, is supported above the lower cover via a supporting portion so that two sides of the cover body can move upwards and downwards. The cover body has two slant surfaces and two braking portions that respectively correspond to the first plug holes and second plug holes. The flexible element pushes the cover body so that the cover body is covered between the first plug holes and the second plug holes. Thereby, the apparatus can prevent foreign matter from being plugged into a socket, and prevent electric shock to user.

  • Publication number: 20090002962
    Abstract: A circuit protection element and a circuit board with the circuit protection element are disclosed. The circuit protection element includes a metal base, and at least one opening slot located at the metal base. The metal base forms a positioning portion. One end of the metal base is fastened onto a circuit board. The bottom of the free end of the metal base contacts a conducting point located on the circuit board to make the circuit be in a conducting status. When the current is overloaded or the circuit is over-heated, the bottom of the free end of the metal base is heated so that the bottom of the free end of the metal base separates from the conducting point and the positioning portion is wedged with the circuit board. Thereby, the circuit becomes a broken circuit. The circuit protection element can prevent the electronic components from being burnt down.
