Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A connecting plug assembly, comprising: an outer shell portion defining a plug chamber having at least one open end and having a power cord opening defined therethrough; an inner plug portion received in said plug chamber, said inner plug portion having an end face and defining a power cord path for receiving a power cord therein, said end face being disposed at said open end of said plug chamber and said end face having a pair of plug holes defined therethrough for receiving a pair of plug conductors, said power cord path being in communication with said power cord opening of said plug chamber; and sealing means for resiliently sealing said plug holes and for preventing fluid communication therethrough.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A connecting plug assembly, comprising: an outer shell portion defining a plug chamber having at least one open end and having a power cord opening defined therethrough; an inner plug portion received in said plug chamber, said inner plug portion having an end face and defining a power cord path for receiving a power cord therein, said end face being disposed at said open end of said plug chamber and said end face having a pair of plug holes defined therethrough for receiving a pair of plug conductors, said power cord path being in communication with said power cord opening of said plug chamber; and sealing means for resiliently sealing said plug holes and for preventing fluid communication therethrough.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The connecting plug assembly defined in claim 1, wherein: said power cord opening is essentially the same shape and size as said power cord.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 2, wherein: said plug chamber comprises a resilient first portion engaged with a second portion, said power cord opening being defined through said resilient first portion of said plug chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 1, wherein: said sealing means includes a pair of holding slots supported by said end face and a pair of water proof chip members respectively disposed in said holding slots, said holding slots being positioned proximal to said plug holes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 4, wherein: said water proof chip members each comprise a resilient member having a thick portion and a thin portion, said thin portion being penetrable by a plug conductor wherein said thin portion is biased tightly about said plug conductor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 5, wherein: said inner plug portion further defines a positive conductor seat, a fuse seat, a conductor reed member slot and a negative conductor seat.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
113 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 6, further comprising: a positive conductor disposed in said positive conductor seat, a fuse disposed in said fuse seat, a conductor reed member disposed in said conductor reed member slot and a negative conductor disposed in said negative conductor seat, wherein, said positive conductor has a first portion thereof extending outside said plug chamber and a second portion positioned proximal to one of said plug holes, said negative conductor has a first portion thereof extending outside said plug chamber and a second portion positioned proximal to one of said plug holes, and said conductor reed member contacts said fuse and said fuse contacts said positive conductor.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 7, further comprising: a power cord having first and second leads, said first lead being connected with said negative conductor, said second lead being connected with said conductor reed member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 7, wherein: said outer shell member includes a recess and said inner plug member includes a protrusion, said protrusion being received in said recess.

Dependent Claim
24 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 9, wherein: said outer shell member further includes a concave piece member engaging said inner plug member.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
32 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 1, wherein: said inner plug portion further defines a positive conductor seat, a fuse seat, a conductor reed member slot and a negative conductor seat.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
113 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 11, further comprising: a positive conductor disposed in said positive conductor seat, a fuse disposed in said fuse seat, a conductor reed member disposed in said conductor reed member slot and a negative conductor disposed in said negative conductor seat, wherein, said positive conductor has a first portion thereof extending outside said plug chamber and a second portion positioned proximal to one of said plug holes, said negative conductor has a first portion thereof extending outside said plug chamber and a second portion positioned proximal to one of said plug holes, and said conductor reed member contacts said fuse and said fuse contacts said positive conductor.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
37 words
The connecting plug assembly defined by claim 12, further comprising: a power cord having first and second leads, said first lead being connected with said negative conductor, said second lead being connected with said conductor reed member.
