New patented electrical outlet

[timhoward]

As mentioned above what we really need are lower profile higher current sockets and plugs for internal use.
The jump from 13A to 16A commando in terms of physical size is just silly!

Back to the round pin 15A plugs maybe? They were ahead of their time!

They are still in fact available. BS546 is still a current standard!
But what I'd like is a 20 amp small internal socket, maybe with triangular pins just for fun....

Depends on what type of patent you have etc. if its not a bad idea... sell the Patent and walk off into the sunset . But if it is the outlet shown in the thread? If its any good , The Chinese will be all over it . "patents " mean nothing there . The cost to fully patent things costs a fortune .I owned a full patent that was established after 2 years .It cost £5k almost to the pound in 1992. I Then sold the full rights for £22k . I knew I could never fund the concept . But someone would want it and they did . And for them it was peanuts . Not a bad profit .Purchased a 20v Audi "UR" with the money !

A lot of that is to do with IP considerations, more than rating. A company called Neutrik attempted to take that problem on with a range of connectors that are IPx5 16-32A and literally about the size of a fat thumb but they've only ever really caught on in the events world, and even then only as final connectors.
