Patent ID: 8133064

Claim:
A power outlet, comprising: a base having conductive terminals for electrically connecting to terminals of a power line, the conductive terminals being partially exposed from the base and a pair of first guiding portions arranged in parallel to each other being disposed on each side of the base exposing the conductive terminals, wherein each of the conductive terminals has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surface is a protruding surface facing an inside of the base of the power outlet; a plurality of fastening boards and screws, wherein each of the fastening boards has a concave portion for engaging with the protruding surface of a corresponding one of the conductive terminals, and the screw is passed through a corresponding one of the conductive terminals and screwed with a corresponding one of the fastening boards and contacted with the outer surface of the corresponding one of the conductive terminals so as to allow the corresponding one of the fastening boards to move relative to the corresponding one of the conductive terminals, thereby establishing or releasing the electrical connection between the conductive terminals and the of power line; and sliding covers each having second guiding portions capable of sliding with and engaging with the corresponding first guiding portions so as to allow the sliding covers to slide relative to the base of the power outlet, thereby shielding the exposed portions of the conductive terminals.
