It is simple to provide protection of the people living in the apartment against blow with current with use of stub for the socket. Especially useful such adaptation can be for families with small children. The stub protects also the socket from hit in it of dust and water that, certainly, allows to prolong the term of its service.
It is possible to get stubs for sockets practically in any household shop today. Besides also such adaptation costs rather not much. However if desired the stub will be simple to be made and independently of improvised materials.
How to make stub for the socket of stopper
By means of such self-made adaptation it is possible to protect from blow by current of absolutely small child. In this case it is not necessary to perform any special operations.
Everything that will need to be made to close openings of the socket is to pull out stopper from wine bottle, to wash out it and to dry properly. Further follows simply, having made small effort, to insert stopper into deepening of the socket, having closed thereby openings. If the stopper has the big length, than diameter of deepening, it needs just to be truncated, for example, stationery knife.
Such stub due to elasticity of material in the socket rather strong keeps. However adaptation of this kind, of course, is suitable for protection against electric shock of only absolutely small children. The child is more senior will be able to pull out such stub, most likely, after all.
Plastic use: preparation of the socket
More reliable stub for the socket, than from stopper to make with own hands also will not make absolutely any work. In this case production of adaptation requires only small piece of plastic. Also to make such stub, it will be necessary to prepare:
- screw-driver;
- ruler;
- scissors on metal.
First of all at production of the plastic defensor prepare the socket. For this purpose by means of the screw-driver unscrew the central screw from the device. Further remove front pad from the socket.
Production of stub
At the next stage measure the central round deepening of the socket by means of ruler. To make stub, on the prepared piece of plastic draw circle. Its diameter has to in coincide precisely with diameter of deepening in the socket.
That adaptation looked further accurately, before installation in the socket of edge of plastic circle it is worth smoothing out, for example, large nazhdachka. In order that it is correct to make openings in the cut stub under fork pins, the socket at first should be got from podrozetnik in wall.
For marking the device is overturned backside and put to it the cut circle. At the final stage of production of stub in plastic preparation drill on marking three openings — two at the edges, under pins and one in the center for fastening.
Installation of stub
After the defensor is manufactured, the socket should be inserted back into the slot. After that it is possible to start to installation actually stub. For this purpose the circle with openings is inserted into round deepening of the socket and fixed by means of the screw on the center. Previously atop establish the front pad removed at the first stage.
Now to include fork in the socket, it will be necessary to insert plug into extreme openings in the made stub and to accurately turn circle before coincidence them with openings in the socket. For protection of the child in the subsequent when pulling fork the circle just should be turned in former situation.
Helpful advice
It is worth tightening the screw when fastening self-made stub to the socket more feasibly. The circle has to rotate in deepening at inclusion/switching off of electric devices with effort.
Even not too big children differ in ingenuity and can easily understand the principle of work of protection. The stub rotating hardly the child just will not have forces to turn independently.
If parents nevertheless doubt that, the stub which is how well made with own hands can protect the child from electric shock, they should refuse, of course, the idea of production it the hands and to buy more reliable factory adaptation in shop.
