The circuit board positioned in the plastic base and located in the connection slot has many first traces. Each first trace has a first contact on one surface of a front section of the circuit board, and a second contact on a rear section of the circuit board. The first contacts are electrically connected to the plug. The pin terminals are electrically connected to the second contacts of the first traces. One end of each of the pin terminals extends out of the plastic base. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20130183843 | UNIVERSAL PLUG ADAPTOR - The universal plug adaptor contains a terminal set for contacting plug pins housed between a face plate and a casing. The face plate contains a number of sets of plug holes. A first hole set contains a first live hole, a first neutral hole, and a first ground hole conforming to the South Africa specification. A second hole set contains three separate openings, each containing a number of plug holes for ground pins of various specifications. A third hole set contains two plug holes conforming to global 250V specification with two flat pins or two round pins. A fourth hole set contains two plug holes conforming to America 125V specification's two flat pints or two round pins. And a fifth hole set contains two plug holes conforming to America specification with two flat pins. The third and fourth hole sets jointly provide two plugs' simultaneous plugging. | 07-18-2013 |
| 20150325968 | Universal Socket Device - A universal socket device comprises a plurality of sockets arranged in one interface panel, and transformer circuits disposed inside a body. The interface panel is arranged on top of the body, while a male connector is arranged on the lower side of the body adapted to connect to the output power. The male connector includes a plug with 8-shaped cross sections, arranged along the outside wall of the body in parallel. The base of the plug is disposed on a bulge protruding from the body, and a plane is arranged on the outer surface of the bulge, where a groove extends following the same direction of the plug. Due to the male connector structure disposed on the lower side of the body, the center of gravity of the socket device is stabilized, and the socket device is easy to plug and use. | 11-12-2015 |

| 20100035451 | Variable Direction Cable Connector Adapter - An adjustable adapter for a cable connector with a fixed cable takeoff direction, relative to the cable connector, includes an input member having first and second terminals. A connecting member having first and second bus bars is configured to selectively mate to the input member in at least two different connecting member positions relative to the input member. In each of the different connecting member positions, each of the first and second bus bars is in electrical communication with a respective one of the first and second terminals. The connecting member accepts at least one cable connector, which therefore has at least two different, selectable cable takeoff directions relative to the input member. An adapter plate may facilitate mating of the cable connectors to the connecting member and the connecting member to the input member. A third terminal and third bus bar may allow for cable connectors with three cables. | 02-11-2010 |
