ABSTRACT:
A plug release mechanism consisting of a spring mounted reciprocatable member to which is attached an electrical plug. The reciprocatable member carries an inner tubular member coaxially therewith, a stationary member between the inner member and the reciprocatable member, a spring acting between the reciprocatable member and the stationary member and a lever mounted on an extension projecting outwardly from the stationary member through the reciprocatable member. An electrical cord is introduced through a sleeve pivotally mounted between the outer ends of the lever, down through the stationary member and connected to the electrical plug in the usual manner. When the cord is aligned with the lever, a tug on the cord will disconnect the plug from the outlet. When the cord is at an angle to the plug, the sleeve will be at a similar angle so that a pull on the cord causes the lever to rotate and disengage from the locked position with the reciprocatable member whereupon the spring activates the reciprocatable member to withdraw the plug from the outlet.
