ABSTRACT:
An electrical plug device is disclosed for establishing an electrical connection when the device is inserted within an electrical outlet socket. The device includes a housing and a first blade which extends from the housing for establishing a first electrical connection with the outlet socket. A second blade is electrically insulated from the first blade with the second blade extending from the housing for establishing a second electrical connection with the outlet socket. A biasing device co-operates with at least one of the blades for biasing the first and second blades relative to each other such that the blades establish an interference fit within the outlet socket so that inadvertent removal of the blades from within the outlet socket is inhibited. A manual release is connected to at least one of the blades for selectively counteracting the biasing device such that when the release is in a first disposition thereof, the blades are locked within the outlet socket and when the release is in a second disposition thereof the blades are released from engagement with the outlet socket so that removal of the plug device from the outlet socket is permitted.
