Abstract:
1. A protective socket for preventing single-opening insertion comprising: a housing having a plurality of insertion openings; a sliding base assembled in the housing; the sliding base being capable of transverse sliding movements in the housing; a plurality of covers disposed at corresponding positions of the insertion openings; the covers being capable of pivotal rotations and capable of restoring forces on the sliding base established by restoring elastic means disposed in the sliding base; the covers further including a plurality of blocking members for extending into the insertion openings of the housing; when the blocking members at the covers are simultaneously pushed and departed from the insertion openings, the covers are pivotally rotated and tilted on the sliding base, and a subsequent force imposed upon the covers pushes the covers and the sliding base sideward; when the blocking members at the covers are not simultaneously pushed and departed from the insertion openings, one of the blocking members not pushed away from the insertion opening remains in the insertion opening and blocks displacement of the sliding base.
