Abstract
A socket assembly may include a socket for receiving a plug, a flap for covering the socket, wherein said flap is rotatable about a shaft between a closed position and an open position and is biased into the closed position, a locking mechanism that locks the flap in the open position, and a release mechanism that releases the locking mechanism, when a plug is inserted in the socket. After a release of the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism can be activated only after the flap has been rotated from the open position to the closed position to an extent of at least 30%.
