Abstract:
1. An electrical safety receptacle with a cross-connection circuit, comprising: (i) a line wire input, wherein the line wire input is electrically connected to a line wire of an electrical power source; (ii) a neutral wire input, wherein the neutral wire input is electrically connected to a neutral wire of the electrical power source; (iii) a line wire output receptacle, wherein the line wire output receptacle is electrically connected to a line wire of an electrical appliance; (iv) a neutral wire output receptacle, wherein the neutral wire output receptacle is electrically connected to a neutral wire of the electrical appliance; (v) a first fixed connection point, wherein the first fixed connection point is electrically connected to the line wire output receptacle; (vi) a second fixed connection point, wherein the second fixed connection point is electrically connected to the neutral wire output receptacle; (vii) a third fixed connection point, wherein the third fixed connection point is electrically connected to the line wire input; (viii) a fourth fixed connection point, wherein the fourth fixed connection point is electrically connected to the neutral wire input; (ix) a first movable connection assembly having a first movable connection point; (x) a second movable connection assembly having a second movable connection point; (xi) a third movable connection assembly having a third movable connection point; and (xii) a fourth movable connection assembly having a fourth movable connection point, wherein, when the line wire output receptacle is not inserted with a line prong of a power plug, the first movable connection point is not electrically connected to the first fixed connection point, and the fourth movable connection point is not electrically connected to the fourth fixed connection point, respectively, and when the neutral wire output receptacle is not inserted with a neutral prong of the power plug, the second movable connection point is not electrically connected to the second fixed connection point, and the third movable connection point is not electrically connected to the third fixed connection point, respectively, and the line wire output receptacle, and the neutral wire output receptacle are not electrically connected to the line wire and neutral wire of the electrical power source, respectively, and wherein, when the line wire output receptacle is inserted with the line prong of the power plug, the first movable connection point is electrically connected to the first fixed connection point, and the fourth movable connection point is electrically connected to the fourth fixed connection point, respectively, and when the neutral wire output receptacle is inserted with the neutral prong of the power plug, the second movable connection point is electrically connected to the second fixed connection point, and the third movable connection point is electrically connected to the third fixed connection point, respectively, and the line wire output receptacle, and the neutral wire output receptacle are electrically connected to the line wire and neutral wire of the electrical power source, respectively.
