ABSTRACT:
A device is described for supplying electrical current to electric appliances, especially mobile appliances. The device has a plug housing (1) equipped with an electric plug which houses the electrical and electronic components supplying the current. To simplify the use of the device with various electric socket configurations, several interchangeable adapter plugs (17) are provided which can be releasably attached to the plug housing (1). Each adapter plug has contact pins which are shaped and arranged according to electric socket configurations used in various countries. The adapter housing has contact springs (20) which are electrically coupled to the contact pins (19) and which contact corresponding current supply contact surfaces (8) carried by the plug housing (1). The plug housing (1) has a recess (2) into which a tongue (8) of an electronic circuit board (6) protrudes and on which the contact surfaces are formed. The adapter housing fits into the depression (2) so that the contact springs (20) engage the contact surfaces (8) of the circuit board (6) when assembled. A releasable snap-on lock formed by the adapter housing and the plug housing (1) secures the two to each other. When the device is not in use a closure (10) is releasably placed over the recess to protect it against damage and contamination.
