ABSTRACT:
An electric power supply connector such as a plug or a plug adapter for supplying a power source voltage to an electrical appliance. The connector has conductive connecting legs of a metallic material having high electrical conductivity and formed to be projected from or recessed into the surface of a main part of the connector. An actuating member is resiliently urged to extend from the inside to the outside of the connector so as to be able to project from a surface of the main part of the connector. The connector also includes a locking mechanism including a locking groove formed in a wall of the actuating means and a portion of an interlocking member which is movable in the direction perpendicular to the actuating member and urged by a spring, the portion of the interlocking member being engageable with the locking groove by the force of the spring then the, the locking means being adapted to lock, through the engagement between the portion of the interlocking member and the locking groove, the actuating member in a retracted state where the end of the actuating member is held near the surface of the main body of the connector. The connector further has an unlocking mechanism for unlocking the actuating member from the retracted state by urging the interlocking member against the force of the spring, by a manual force or by an electromagnetic force.
