Osteopath Student Graduation Gift, 3D Illusion Table Light The earliest American patent application for an earthed plug appears to be 11 January 1915 by George P. Knapp, on behalf of the Harvey Hubbell company. During the first fifty years of commercial use of electric power, standards developed rapidly based on growing experience. Technical, safety, and economic factors influenced the development of all wiring devices and numerous varieties were invented. Gradually the desire for trade eliminated some standards that had been used in only a few countries.

Despite Hubbel’s objections, other manufacturers adopted the Hubbell pattern, omitting Hubbell’s detents, and by 1915 the use of Hubbell’s configuration was widespread. In 1919 Hubbell unsuccessfully attempted to get an injunction to prevent other manufacturers from making receptacles and plugs to the dimensions used by Hubbell.

Although Edison invented the first functional electric light bulb in 1879, more than 20 years would pass before his revolutionary device was practical enough to be embraced by the mass consuming public. These antique style plugs go perfectly with the cloth-covered wire I am using for my custom lighting setups. I appreciate that they have polarity prongs as well as being quite low profile. The design on the front is subtle but effective.

In Britain, a 1911 book dealing with the electrical products of A. P. Lundberg & Sons of London describes the “Tripin” earthed plug available in 2.5 amp and 5 amp models. The pin configuration of the “Tripin” appears virtually identical to modern BS 546 plugs. Former colonies may retain the standards of the colonizing country.

Although polarized outlets and plugs were introduced in the 1880’s, they were not popular at first and did not become standard until the mid-20th century. The earliest National Electric Code (NEC) that we can find that references polarized receptacles is the 1962 edition, which required outlets to be both grounding (3-prong) and polarized.

Plugs with parallel flat pins, such as the “Fort Wayne” design were in common use by 1886, and flush receptacles, such as the “Bryant Electrical Company” design, by 1902. H. HUBBELL. SEPARABLE ATTACHMENT PLUG. Following the lead set by the lamp manufacturers in standardizing lamp bases, a conference of the plug and receptacle manufacturers, including Hubbell, was arranged with a view to agreeing a standard configuration. It was a time of great expansion in the use of electrical appliances such as fans, heaters, and cookers, as well as portable devices such as hair curlers and irons, and the public wanted interchangeability. The report of the court proceedings includes a comprehensive review of the development of the art in the US prior to 1919, based on evidence presented to the Court. Separable plugs had been available for more than a decade prior to Hubbell’s 1904 design.Lamp cord 6 feet Pendant light cord Lamp wire Light cord Pendant cord Fabric cable Fabric covered wire Cloth covered cord Textile cable The existence of both “tandem” and parallel pin configurations had led to the introduction in 1914 of some receptacles having both configurations of slots and others having “T” slots. Hubbell evidently soon found the round pin design unsatisfactory as a subsequent patent filed on May 27, 1904 shows lampholder adaptors similar to those of his first patent for use with plugs having tandem flat pins. By 1915, Hubbell had sold about 13 million receptacles and plug bases/caps with tandem slots/pins, and about 1.25 million with parallel slots/pins, most of which were then still in active use, meaning that Hubbell’s configurations were by far the most widely used.
