(54)	Tool for extracting the plug socket in tubular outlets

(57) The invention relates to a tool for extracting the plug socket (1) in tubular outlets forming part of electric lighters in automobiles having a wall with anchoring windows (3) receiving external fastening clamps, and retention windows of the outlet, having a sleeve closed at one of its ends with two pairs of equiangularly distributed pins (5,6), two of them intended to be coupled in the anchoring windows (3) of the outlet, acting on the external fastening clamps for unlocking the socket, and the other two acting on the retention shapes for dragging and extracting said socket. The sleeve has a cylindrical cam (11) actuated from the handle (10) of the tool, which cylindrical cam allows, according to its angular position, retracting the pins (5,6) from the sleeve during the operation for implementing the tool in the plug socket, and causing the radial propulsion of said pins when it is rotated and supported thereon, securing and locking them in the operative position.
