well, do you think the spring is strong enough to keep the pin out when a french plug is inserted?
or will it just contact the ground jack of the plug in "pushed in" position?
i somehow can't imagine this to work so safely...

does the french plug fit here at all? I thaught it doesnt have the notches where the 2 ground springs are?

by the way, many new schuko plugs of Appliances and PC cables (how do you call that 3 pole jack at a PC power supply in english?) nowadays have the grounding jack to fit both classical schuko and french outlets.
