ABSTRACT:
An electrical device with a retractable plug has a body and a plug-moving assembly. The body has a chamber, a partition and a plug. The partition is formed in the chamber, separates the chamber into a plug chamber and an electronics chamber. The plug chamber has a longitudinal sidewall, a slot and an opening. The longitudinal sidewall is disposed parallelly with the partition and has an inner surface. The slot is formed through the longitudinal sidewall. The opening is formed through the end wall. The plug-moving assembly is mounted in the plug chamber and connects to the plug to selectively retract the plug into the plug chamber. Therefore, the plug of the electrical device may be selectively retracted to prevent prong damage, improve safety and aesthetics of design.
