POLARIZED ELECTRICAL PLUG WITH ORIENTATION VERIFICATION

摘要

A method of confirming proper orientation of a two prong polarized electrical plug with respect to a polarized electrical receptacle or outlet before and after being plugged into the outlet which method includes the steps of: providing a two prong polarized electrical plug that includes: a plug housing having a top and a bottom and a front face; an electrically conductive polarized prong or blade that extends outward from front face of the plug housing; an electrically conductive non-polarized prong or blade that extends outward from the front face of the plug housing; and an indicia element provided on the top of the plug housing which provides visual confirmation of proper orientation with respect to a polarized electrical receptacle or outlet before and after being plugged into the outlet; and the further steps of: providing a polarized electrical receptacle or outlet; and visually confirming that the indicia element is pointing upward when and/or after the plug is inserted into the polarized electrical receptacle or outlet.
