Abstract
The invention features an electrical connection apparatus capable of operatively attaching to an electrical appliance or electrical socket. The apparatus also includes at least two electrical connections which can communicate with each other to allow the flow of electrical charge therebetween. The apparatus can also be arranged to allow relative movement of the at least first and/or second electrical connection between a first position, wherein electrical charge can flow therebetween, and a second position, wherein the flow of electrical charge is prevented. The relative movement can take place over a pre-determined time period following actuation to provide a timing mechanism for the apparatus.
