Abstract
Embodiments of a multi-function power strip are shown, said strip including a first endcap and a second endcap; at least one rail, said rail being adapted to engage with at least one outlet module; the rail also being engaged with a transformer module, said transformer module in electrical connection with the at least one outlet module, and adapted to receive electrical power therefrom, said transformer module further comprising a transformer adapted to transform electrical power into a plurality of voltages suitable for powering a plurality of different models of electronic accessories, and a connector forming a circuit to provide a suitable one of the plurality of voltages to an electronic accessory; and wherein the at least one outlet module and the transformer module are releasably joined together.
Claims14
A multi-function power strip comprising:
- a first endcap and a second endcap, wherein the first endcap is adapted to receive a power cord for supplying electrical power to the power strip;
- at least one rail, having a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein said first endcap is attached to the proximal end of the rail and said second endcap is attached to the distal end of the rail, said rail being adapted to engage with at least one outlet module, said outlet module in electrical connection with the first endcap and adapted to receive electrical power therefrom;
- wherein the rail is further engaged with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) module, said USB module in electrical connection with the outlet module, and adapted to receive electrical power therefrom, said USB module further comprising a transformer adapted to transform electrical power into a voltages suitable for distribution through a USB port, and at least one USB port, wherein the transformer is electrically coupled to the at least one USB port.
