Abstract (en)
A dual actuating shutter safety system for a power supply interface having a housing having a plurality of apertures that provide access to conductive contacts for a first conductive prong and a second conductive prong such that when the prongs contact the conductive contacts, an electrical connection is made therebetween. The system includes a first resilient member and second resilient member that are each rigidly affixed within the housing, and each resilient member has a proximal non-conductive segment that is resiliently held in an aperture and a distal conductive segment that is resiliently held within the housing, whereby the non-conductive segment must be forced aside before the conductive segment of the resilient can be contacted. <IMAGE>
