ABSTRACT:
A vehicle power supply outlet connectable to a car cigarette lighter and to an electrical device plug. The power supply outlet includes a cylindrical socket including an engagement plate for engaging the cigarette lighter or the electrical device plug that is inserted into the socket. The engagement plate includes a hook elastically deformable in a radially outward direction of the socket. A sleeve including a recess is fitted to the socket. The recess receives the hook of the engagement plate when the hook is elastically deformed in the radially outward direction. Deformation of the hook is restricted by contact between the hook and the bottom surface of the recess. This prevents permanent deformation of the hook.
