Claim:
An electric plug comprising: an electrically insulative housing, said housing comprising a plurality of metal contact members forwardly extended from a front side thereof for insertion into insertion slots of an electric socket, a recessed front open chamber, and a pivot holder protruded from an outside wall thereof at one side of said front open chamber; a front cover sealed to the front side of said housing, said front cover having an opening for passing of the metal contact members of said housing, and a pivot holder attached to the pivot holder of said housing; a lever formed of a substantially L-shaped frame member and pivoted to said housing and said front cover, said lever comprising a finger strip disposed at one end outside said housing, at least one actuating rod disposed at an opposite end and suspended in the recessed front open chamber of said housing, and a pivot transversely connected between said finger strip and said at least one actuating rod and fastened pivotally with the pivot holder of said housing and the pivot holder of said front cover; and a follower member mounted in between the metal contact members of said housing within said front cover, said follower member having a rear base stopped at the at least one actuating rod of said lever, and a front block forwardly extended from said rear base and suspended in between the metal contact members of said housing; wherein when a finger presses said finger strip of said lever after connection of the electric plug to a matching electric socket, said follower member is forced out of the opening of said front cover by the at least one actuating rod of said lever and stopped against the matching electric socket, thereby causing the metal contact members of said housing to be separated from the insertion slots of the matching electric socket.
