Child Safe Power Plug
2013
Project type: university
Duration: 4 weeks
Prompt: Design a power plug for a contemporary life context and prototype it using rapid prototyping tools
I designed a power plug that makes it hard for children to remove it from the socket.
The earthing pins are used as clips that lock the plug to the wall socket.
The silicone dome hides 2 buttons that release the clips. These buttons are hard and can't be pressed by young curious children.
