Abstract
Abstract A multiple pin electrical plug having a variety of pin combinations of varying geometry is able to accept the several voltage outlet supplies of the major countries of the world. The multiple pin electrical plug is so arranged that pins (P1 to P7 inclusive) are able to extend in a number of configurations dictated by the movement of a shutter plate (21) having a slider (22) that is movable to at least the same number of discrete positions, as said number of configurations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A multiple pin electrical plug characterised in that said plug is arranged so that pins (P1 - P7) are able to extend in a number of configurations dictated by the movement of a shutter plate (21) having a slider (22) that is movable to at least the same number of discrete positions, as said number of configurations.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
A multiple pin electrical plug characterised in that said plug is arranged so that pins (P1 - P7) are able to extend in a number of configurations dictated by the movement of a shutter plate (21) having a slider (22) that is movable to at least the same number of discrete positions, as said number of configurations.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The multiple pin electrical plug as claimed in Claim 1 wherein a pin slide (23) is arranged to co-operate with the shutter plate (21) to an extend, or retract, position and to an extend but non-retractable position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The multiple pin electrical plug as claimed in Claim 2 wherein the pin slide is of substantially rectangular prismatic form with integral side rails (23 1 , 23 2 , 2 3 3 , 2 3 4 ) that co-operate.with protuberance (21A 21B) on said shutter plate (21).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The multiple pin electrical plug as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the configurations are four in number, one configuration providing a flat pin pair (P1 P2), a second and third configuration providing a right cylindrical pin pair (P3 P4) extended or not extended and a fourth configuration providing three flat pins (P5 P6 P7), each configuration being selected by said slider (22).
