In particular, the invention relates to a travel plug adapter (10), which has a housing, a plug holder (16), and at least one first plug (38, 84) of a first standard and a second plug (28, 86) of a second standard, wherein each plug is assigned an actuating slider (22, 24), which is led to the outside through a sliding slot (42) in the housing and is designed to displace the plug between a readiness position, in which the plug is located substantially within the housing, and between a use position located outside the housing, in which the plug can be used, and wherein the first plug (38, 84) is assigned a first blocking element (106A), such that displacing the first plug (38, 84) between the readiness position and the use position is blocked when the movement of the first blocking element (106A) is blocked, and wherein the second plug (28, 86) is assigned a second blocking element (106B), such that the displacement of the second plug (28, 86) between the readiness position and the use position is blocked when the movement of the second blocking element (106B) is blocked, characterized in that in addition at least one blocking carriage (100A) is provided which, in a first position, opens the path of the first blocking element (106A) and, in a second position, blocks the path of the first blocking element (106A, wherein the second blocking element (106) acts on the position of the blocking carriage (100A).
The invention relates to a travel plug adapter, which is also referred to here in short as a travel plug. By means of such an adapter, mains plugs of a certain (domestic) standard can be inserted into the receptacles present at the travel location. In particular, the invention relates to a travel plug adapter (10) that has a housing, a plug socket (16), and at least one first plug (38, 84) of a first standard, wherein an actuating element (22, 84) is associated with the first plug (38, 84), which actuating element is designed to slide the plug (38, 84) between a readiness position, in which the plug (38, 84) is located substantially within the housing, and a usage position, in which the plug (38, 84) is located outside of the housing for use, and a locking element (106A) is associated with the plug, by means of which locking element the plug (38, 84) can be locked in the readiness position and which locking element can assume an open position and a closed position, wherein the locking element (106A) locks the plug (38, 84) in the readiness position when the locking element (106A) is in the closed position thereof and wherein the locking element (106A) can be transferred from the open position to the closed position by the sliding of the first plug (38, 84).
