Foldable power plug assembly

A foldable power plug assembly may include a lever-based mechanism for retracting the metal pins of the assembly such that they do not extend beyond a top surface of a base portion of the assembly and for subsequently extracting the pins from the base portion. When a force is applied to a first pin in a folding direction while the assembly is in a deployed state, the lever-based mechanism may be configured to retract both the first and second pins toward their respective fully retracted positions. When a force is applied to the first pin in an unfolding direction while the assembly is in a retracted state, the mechanism may be configured to unfold both the first and second pins toward their respective fully deployed positions. and extend them to their fully deployed positions. The lever-based mechanism may be simple and intuitive to operate using a single hand.
