  • Patent number: 11088496
    Abstract: The invention relates to the novel ornamental and utilitarian features of a module/adapter (e.g. male-to-male power adapter) for safety connecting the output interface of a backup power source (such as the outlet of a generator) with an electric circuit (such as a female duplex power outlet of a typical home). Such connection requires a male-to-male adapter which would be unsafe without the disclosed safety features.
