Abstract (en)

A pivotal power supply plug device having a compact and simple structure corresponding to 200 V of the European and U. S. standards and formed with a reduced number of parts can be provided. A plug supporting piece (10) is pivotably provided on one end side of an insertion plug storing recess (3) provided at a surface of a housing (1). Insertion plugs (11, 11) made of a metal conductive material are supported at the plug supporting piece (10) and projected therefrom. A contact (19) in electrical connection with each insertion plug (11) is provided at the bottom surface (10b) of the plug supporting piece (10). Each contact (19) is contacted to a connection terminal (20) in the housing (1) when the plug supporting piece (10) is upraised together with the insertion plugs (11, 11). The insertion plugs (11, 11) are pushed down together with the plug supporting piece (10) and stored into the recess (3). A stopper projection (31) is provided at a bottom surface (10a) of the plug supporting piece (10) and is urged by a spring (36) in the projecting direction and allowed to advance/retract. A stopper operation knob (34) for operating the stopper projection (31) in the retracting direction is provided on a surface of the plug supporting piece (10). The housing (1) includes a stopper engagement portion (30) to which the stopper projection (31) engages when the insertion plugs (11) are upraised. <IMAGE>
