ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved structure of a socket comprising a socket body, a framework, a mounting seat, and a covering board. The framework is mounted at the center of the socket body and at the lateral edge of the framework, a plurality of channels are provided for the mounting of the mounting seat. A positioning member being urged by elastic elements is mounted to a horizontal slot which is formed at the central bottom region of the mounting seat. The front end of the positioning member is extended and spaced by a protruded end to form a protruded stopping disc having a slanting edge, which works together with a horizontal bar so as to cause the positioning member to slide laterally. The lower section of the mounting seat is provided with an engaging board, having a bottom face being urged by an elastic element. At normal condition, the upward movement of the engaging board positions the positioning member to the two lateral edges of the framework. After the prongs of a plug are inserted into the socket, the engaging board is pressed downward which in turn causes the positioning member to elastically secure the prongs. Thus, the secured prongs will not dislocate from the socket.
