Abstract

An electrical plug is provided. The electrical plug includes a body and a retention device. The body includes a first casing and a second casing. The second casing is pivotally connected to one side of the first casing and can rotate to make one of its ends away from one end of the first casing. The first casing and the second casing form a body inner space together. At least a portion of the retention device can rotate along the same direction as the second casing rotates.

Claims (13)

1. An electrical plug capable of electrically connecting to and fixing to a corresponding socket, comprising:

a body, including:

a first casing, wherein the first casing includes a first A end and a first B end disposed on opposite ends, wherein the body is capable of being inserted into the socket with the first A end facing the socket;

a second casing pivotally connected to one side of the first casing, wherein the second casing is capable of rotating to make one end of the second casing away from one end of the first casing, wherein the first casing and the second casing form a body inner space together, wherein the second casing is capable of rotating to make one end of the second casing away from the first B end;

a retention device connecting to one end of the first casing opposite to the second casing, wherein at least a portion of the retention device is capable of rotating along the same direction as the second casing rotates, wherein the retention device is capable of fixing the body to the socket when the body is inserted into the socket, wherein the second casing includes a second A end and a second B end disposed on opposite ends;

a latch including a connecting end and an extending end disposed on opposite ends, wherein the connecting end connects to the first A end, wherein the extending end extends toward the second A end; and

a deformation part disposed on the extending end, wherein the deformation part is pivotally connected to the extending end and is capable of rotating along the same direction as the second casing rotates.

2. The electrical plug according to claim 1 , wherein:

the retention device is capable of rotating to increase the angle by which the second casing is capable of rotating when the second casing rotates to make one end of the second casing away from the first B end.

3. The electrical plug according to claim 1 , wherein the second casing is disposed on one side of the first casing with the second A end pivotally connected to the first casing, wherein the second casing is capable of rotating with the second A end as a pivot to make the second B end selectively adjacent to or away from the first B end.

4. The electrical plug according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between the second A end and the second B end is ½ to ⅔ of the distance between the first A end and the first B end.

5. The electrical plug according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between the vertical projection of the second A end on the first casing and the second B end is ½ to ⅔ of the distance between the first A end and the first B end.

6. The electrical plug according to claim 1 , wherein a concave is disposed on one side of the second casing facing the retention device, wherein at least a portion of the retention device is capable of being accommodated in the concave when the extending end moves toward the first casing.
