Abstract
Disclosed is a USB adaptor device comprising a wall outlet module or electrical control device, having a USB connector port positioned in the rear or on the side of the device, facing the interior of the wall when installed. The USB adaptor includes a 5v power output, for use in wiring of any office or home in order to enable devices mounted on a wall. The USB adaptor device includes electrical devices such as outlets, switches, and dimmers. The USB adaptor device includes a step down transformer in order to reduce the power from the source to 5v.
Claims20
A wall electrical outlet comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrical socket exposed from the housing and directed in a first direction;
- and
- a low power socket exposed from the housing and directed in a second direction greater than ninety degrees from the first direction, the low power socket configured to be disposed within an interior of a wall and configured to supply 5 to 48 volts, and configured to electrically connect to a device physically separate from the wall electrical outlet and interior of the wall and prevent exposure of any cords of the device exterior to the wall.
A wall electrical outlet comprising:
- an electrical device exposed from a wall and directed in a first direction, wherein the electrical device is any of:
- an electrical socket;
- a dimmer;
- or
- an electrical switch;
- fastener mounts configured to affix the electrical device to a fixed structure disposed in an interior of the wall;
- and
- a universal serial bus (USB) socket electrically connected to the electrical device and positioned relative to the electrical device such that the USB socket is configured to be disposed in the interior of the wall in a second direction that is greater than ninety degrees from the first direction, the USB socket configured to electrically connect to a device physically separate to the wall electrical outlet and interior of the wall and prevent exposure of any cords of the device exterior to the wall.
A wall electrical outlet comprising:
- a housing configured to mount in an interior of a wall;
- an electrical socket exposed from the housing and the wall and directed in a first direction;
- a universal serial bus (USB) socket exposed from the housing in a second direction that is greater than ninety degrees from the first direction of the electrical socket and configured to be disposed in the interior of the wall, the USB socket configured to electrically connect to a device physically separate to the wall electrical outlet and interior of the wall, thereby preventing exposure of any cords of the device exterior to the wall;
- and
- a step-down transformer included within the USB socket, the step-down transformer configured to lower an electrical power received from the housing to a lower electrical power and provide the lower electrical power to the USB socket.
