ABSTRACT:
A securing means for blades of an electrical plug, essentially comprised of a plug adapted with two resilient leaves in conjunction with a socket outlet, wherein, on both sides of the blade at its central portion is formed respectively an indent while at where appropriately relative to said gap on both sides to the front section of the resilient leave is separately made a protrusion bending outwardly, and the rear section of said resilient leaf is provided inside the plug; in another preferred embodiment, said two resilient leaves may be respectively embedded into sectional grooves on both sides of the blade; and furthermore in yet another preferred embodiment, a resilient covering leaf is formed as a protrusion at the corresponding to the plug gap respectively on both sides of the front section and a side leaf provided and connected to the rear section while the resilient covering leaf and the blade may be further riveted with a conductor from a plug adapter so that once the plug is inserted into the socket; and in yet another preferred embodiment, a through gap may be provided at the wider edge of the plug and one end of the resilient leaf is made an integral part of a casing to be snapped into the plug while allowing the resilient protrusion extend from the front end of the casing to properly extend and rest in the gap; said protrusion formed by the resilient leaf having resilient tension or the protrusion formed by said resilient leaf slightly expands and holds firmly against the top of the inner wall inside the outlet of the socket, and thus to secure both of the plug and the socket in position.
