Abstract
A safety socket includes hot/neutral slots formed in a bottom of the safety socket, a movable shielding member arranged in the safety socket to correspond to the hot/neutral slots, and an elastic element having two ends respectively fixed to the movable shielding member and a top of the safety socket. With such an arrangement, when the hot/neutral slots simultaneously receive plug prongs to insert therein, the movable shielding member is caused to move toward the top of the safety socket and when the plug prongs are withdrawn, the movable shielding member is returned by elasticity of the elastic element to shield the hot/neutral slots. Through such an operation, the moving direction of the movable shielding member is changeable so that unnecessary space of the safety socket can be eliminate to overcome the problem that a conventional safety socket has a bulky size.
