Patent ID: 8714995

Claim:
A safety socket, including: a shell, having a front plate, the front plate forming a set of plug holes, the set of plug holes including at least two insertion holes, the insertion holes being adapted for a corresponding plug to insert therein, the plug including at least two metal pins which are able to be inserted into the insertion holes; a suppress mechanism, disposed inside the front plate of the shell, the suppress mechanism corresponding to one of the insertion holes, the suppress mechanism being able to be switched between a release position and a suppress position, the suppress mechanism buckling to the metal pins inserted into the insertion holes when the suppress mechanism is located at the suppress position, the metal pins being able to enter or leave the insertion holes when the suppress mechanism is located at the release position; a limitation mechanism, disposed to the shell, the limitation mechanism including an operation portion and a limiting portion, the operation portion and the limiting portion being in a linking-up correlation, the limiting portion extending near the suppress mechanism, the operation portion being located partially outside the front plate, the operation portion being able to be switched between a first position and a second position, the limiting portion being separated from the suppress mechanism when the operation portion is located at the second position so that the suppress mechanism is able to be switched between the suppress position and the release position freely; wherein a path of the operation portion moving on the front plate is substantially parallel to the front plate.
