Abstract:
A power plug comprising:an insulative seat having a base and a post projecting upwardly from said base, said base having a pair of slits formed therein at two opposite sides of said post;opposite arc-shaped first and second conductive plates projecting upwardly from said base and spaced radially apart from said post, said first conductive plate being connected to a first conductor of an electric wire;first and second power plug blades secured to said base, and projecting downwardly and respectively from said base through said slits, said first power plug blade being connected to a second conductor of the electric wire, said second power plug blade being electrically connected to said second conductive plate; anda switch mounted rotatably on said post, and having an insulative end wall disposed above said base, an insulative peripheral wall projecting downwardly from said end wall toward said base and extending circumferentially to surround said first and second conductive plates, and a conductive arc-shaped bridging plate mounted on said peripheral wall, said switch being turnable about said post between a first position, in which said bridging plate bridges said first and second conductive plates, and a second position, in which said bridging plate disconnects said first and second conductive plates.
