3,160,947 Patented Dec. 15, 1964 I p I 7 3,160,947 ELECTRIC PLUG EXTRACTOR Harold I. Sunderlin, 20 S. Ash, Palatine, Ill. Filed Aug. '8, 1962, Ser. No. 215,714 '4 Claims. (Cl. 29-206) My invention relates to new and useful improvements in an electric-plug extractor and more particularly to a device which is removably attached to a standard electric prong-type plug and is adapted-to facilitate the safe removal o'fthe plugfroma-power outlet receptacle.
An important object of my invention is to provide a simple and'inexpensive yet highly effective device for extracting a prong-typeplugfrom an associated power outlet while avoiding developing any amount of separating strain between the plug and'an electric cord connected thereto.
Yet another object of my inventionis to provide an electricplug extractor composed of a non-conductive material and one which may be conveniently attached to an electric prong-type'plug.
Still another object of my invention is toprovide an electric plug extractor which will prevent the possibility of creating a short circuit and.subsequent electricshock to theuser during the removal of 'the electric plug from the power out-let receptacle.
'Other objects will appear hereinafter.
Theinvention' consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understoodbyreference to the accompanying drawings showing the preferred form of construction; and in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan View showing my extractor;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational-view of the same;
FIG. 3 is a perspective View showing my extractor associated with an electric, prong-type plug.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, my extractor is formed from a blank of non-conductive material generally indicated at 10. The material forming my extractor is preferably composed of molded plastic which has the desired property of being flexible, so as to permit the extractor to be bent or flexed into a wrap-around, sling-type carrier for an electric prong-type plug.
The extractor comprises a main body portion 11 which is of a size corresponding to the under surface of an electric plug and which has formed therein a pair of spaced apart, parallelly extending slots 12 through which project the prongs 13 of an electric plug 14, as shown in FIG. 3.
Extending from opposite sides of the body portion 11 of the extractor are elongated arms 15 and 16. Each of the arms 15 and 16 are of similar construction and extend an equal distance away from the body portion 11. Each of the arms 15 and 16 terminate at their free ends in the circular fingerpieces 17 and 18, which are of substantially identical configuration.
As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the arm 16 adjacent its fingerpiece 18 is provided with a stud 19 extending perpendicularly with respect to one side surface thereof. The arm 15 adjacent its fingerpiece 17 has formed therein an aperture 20 of a size equal to the diameter of the stud 19.
FIG. 3 illustrates the application of my extractor to a standard double-prong electric plug 14. The prongs 13 of the plug 14 are projected through the slots 12 formed in the central body portion 11 of the extractor 10. The body portion 11 engages in facial abutment the under surface of the plug 14 and is of a size to shield this surface from the corresponding exposed surface 21 of the power outlet receptacle 22 without interfering with the. electrical connection between the plug and such receptacle. In this relationship, the body portion 11 isin effect a flash shield against any electrical arcing which might occur at the instant of insertion of the plug 14'into the power outlet receptacle 22.
'With the body portion 11 so positioned, the arms 15 and 16 are folded back upon the opposite sides 23 and 24,
respectively, of the plug '14, bringing the fingerpieces 17 and 18 thereof into alignment with each other. In such 'position,'the stud 19 carried by the arm '16 is frictionally projected into the aperture 26 formed in the arm 15, thus retaining the arms '15 and 16 in embracingposition with respect to the plug 14 and retaining the fingerpieces 17 and 18 in alignment.
The fingerpieces 17 and 18 when brought together in aligned relationship in the manner hereinbefore described provide a reinforced pull which conveniently receives-a finger, as illustrated in FIG. 3, for exerting a withdrawing force and thus extracting the plug from the receptacle.
By (house of my electric plug extractor, the withdrawal of an electric plug from a power outlet receptacle is easily and safely achieved. The force of withdrawing pull applied'by the user is'evenly distributed throughout the entire under surface of the plug 14, regardless of the direction of the pull, and thus properly removes the plug from the receptacle 22. Through the useof my electric plug extractor, one may prevent wear and tear on the electric cord and its connection with the ,plug, thus prolonging the life of such instrumentality.
While 'I have'illustrated and described the preferred 7 form of construction for carrying my invention-into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departingfrom thespirit of'the-invention. *I-therefore do not wish to be limited to 'the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what'I claim as new and desire to. protect by'Letters Patent is:
