ABSTRACT:
A plug bridge for an electric appliance plug for connection of electric appliances to an outlet of an alternating current network, wherein the appliance plug is formed as a unit by the plug bridge joined to the end part of the appliance cord and enclosed by injection-molding, which unit consists of a form-stable insulating element for receiving and fixing the current conductor contact pins where the contact pins are integrated in insulating element apertures matching their cross section. The contact pins protrude relative to the plug bridge and the appliance plug sufficiently far for insertion in an electric outlet and are suited for connection, on lugs disposed inside the appliance plug contour and protruding relative to plug bridge plane, to the respective leads of the electric cord. The insulating element includes transverse to the plane of the contact pins a receiving aperture for insertion of an insert element supporting a ground prong.
