Method of manufacturing a domestic moulded-on mains plug.

摘要

In a method of manufacturing a moulded-on mains plug ofthetype having a base (3), an insulating cap (1) covering the wire connection points (9), and a moulded-on plug body, the presence and position of the cap (1) is detected by probe pins 37, 39 of a pressure member (31) coupled to a position detector (47). The arrangement is such that the moulding material can only be injected into the moulding die (27,29) if the cap (1) is substantially in its correct position.

In this way, it is not possible to produce a moulded-on mains plug having no insulating cap or in which the cap is provided but is incorrectly positioned.
