Sliding electrical outlet assembly

A sliding electrical outlet assembly for facilitating electrical outlets to be slidable along a wall, said assembly comprising:

• a housing being configured to be coupled to a vertical support surface, said housing having a slot extending into an interior of said housing, said housing having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said outer wall having a front side and a back side, said housing being elongated between said first end and said second end, said housing having a chamber therein, said slot extending through said front side of said outer wall into said chamber, said slot extending substantially between said first end and said second end, said housing being oriented such that an axis extending through said first end and said second end is horizontally oriented, said back side of said outer wall abutting the vertical support surface, said chamber having a rear bounding surface;
• a first contact being integrated into said housing, said first contact being coextensive with said slot, said first contact being electrically coupled to a power source, said first contact being positioned on said rear bounding surface of said chamber, said first contact being coextensive with said slot, said first contact being offset from said slot, said first contact being comprised of an electrically conductive material;
• a second contact being integrated into said housing, said second contact being coextensive with said slot, said second contact being electrically coupled to the power source, said second contact being positioned on said rear bounding surface of said chamber, said second contact being coextensive with said slot, said second contact being offset from said slot having said second contact being spaced from said first contact, said second contact being comprised of an electrically conductive material;
• a barrier being coupled to said housing, said barrier covering said slot wherein said barrier is configured to inhibit debris from entering said slot, said barrier having a cut therein, said cut extending along a full length of said slot;
• and
• a plurality of outlet units, each of said outlet units being slidably insertable into said slot, each of said outlet units engaging said first contact and said second contact when said outlet units are rotated into a locked position wherein each of said outlet units is configured to supply electrical power for an electrical device, each of said outlet units being slidable along said slot wherein said plurality of outlet units is configured to facilitate electrical power for the electrical device to be located at a plurality of locations along the vertical support surface, each of said outlet units comprising:
• a block having a forward side and a rear side, said forward side having an female electrical outlet being integrated therein;
• a primary contact being coupled to said rear side, said primary contact being electrically coupled to said female electrical outlet, said primary contact comprising a leg extending away from said rear side and a foot being spaced from said rear side, said foot extending upwardly along said block, said primary contact being extendable through said slot in said housing when said block is oriented in an inserting position, said primary contact electrically engaging said first contact when said block is rotated into a locking position wherein said female electrical outlet is configured to receive electrical power from the power source;
• a secondary contact being coupled to said rear side, said secondary contact being electrically coupled to said female electrical outlet, said secondary contact comprising a leg extending away from said rear side and a foot being spaced from said rear side, said foot extending downwardly along said block, said foot of said secondary contact being offset from said foot of said primary contact, said secondary contact being extendable through said slot in said housing when said block is oriented in said inserting position, said secondary contact electrically engaging said second contact when said block is rotated into a locking position wherein said female electrical outlet is configured to receive electrical power from the power source.
