Power strip safety box

A power safety strip box assembly, comprising:

• a box body configured for containing and concealing a conventional electrical power strip, cables and devices, the box having an open top portion, the box comprising:
• a front wall;
• a back wall;
• two opposing side walls, each side wall secured to a front wall and a back wall so as to form four contiguous sides of a box, and
• a base secured to a bottom edge of each of the four walls, wherein at least one wall includes a hole sized to permit a plurality of power cords and cables to pass though the hole into the box;
• a cover sized and fitted to conform with and completely enclose top portion of the box, the cover comprising:
• a fixed cover member secured to a top edge of the side walls and to a top edge of the back wall;
• a moveable footrest portion;
• and
• a hinge member pivotally coupling the footrest portion to the fixed cover member;
• and a lockable latching member secured to a wall of the box, the latch member engaging the cover member to retain the cover member in a closed position, the latch member providing a means for reducing the chance of electrical shock by locking latching the cover in a closed position.

The Erganizer comprising:

• a box body configured for containing and concealing a power strip, devices, and excess lengths of cables, the box having an open top portion, the box comprising:
• a front wall nominally 18 inches wide by 4 inches high;
• a back wall nominally 18 inches wide by 6 inches high;
• two opposing side walls, each side wall secured to a front wall and aback wall so as to form four contiguous sides of a box, each side wall nominally 12 inches in length, each wall including a hole sized to permit 6 to 8 power chords to pass through the hole and into the box;
• and
• a base secured to a bottom edge of each of the four walls, the base sized to form, together with the sides, a closed bottom box;
• a cover sized and fitted to conform with and completely enclose the top portion of the box in a manner to reduce the chance of electrical shock and potential tangling of power cords around a seat user's feet, the cover comprising:
• a fixed cover member secured to a top edge of the side walls and to a top edge of the back wall;
• a movable sloped footrest portion that when closed is inclined nominally 20 degrees to the base so as to provide an ergonomically sloped foot resting surface, the cover member including a rounded front edge;
• a hinge member pivotally coupling the footrest portion to the fixed cover member so that the footrest portion may be raised to provide access to the box;
• and
• a non-slip sponge rubber cover layer secured to an outside surface of the sloped foot rest portion;
• at least one slip resistant molded rubber pad secured to an outside surface of the base, the pad frictionally resisting the tendency of the box to slide along a floor when used as a foot rest;
• a latching member secured to the front wall of the box, the latch member engaging the cover member to retain the cover member in a closed position, the latch member providing a means for reducing the chance of electrical shock through restricting access to the box;

• a cover sized and fitted to conform with and completely enclose the top portion of the box in a manner to reduce the chance of electrical shock and potential tangling of power cords around a seat user's feet, the cover comprising:
• a fixed cover member secured to a top edge of the side walls and to a top edge of the back wall;
• a movable sloped footrest portion that when closed is inclined nominally 30 degrees to the base so as to provide an ergonomically sloped foot resting surface, the cover member including a rounded front edge;
• a hinge member pivotally coupling the footrest portion to the fixed cover member so that the footrest portion may be raised to provide access to the box;
• and
• a non-slip sponge rubber cover layer secured to an outside surface of the sloped foot rest portion;
• at least one slip resistant molded rubber pad secured to an outside surface of the base, the pad frictionally resisting the tendency of the box to slide along a floor when used as a foot rest;
• a lockable latching member secured to the front wall of the box, the latch member engaging the cover member to retain the cover member in a closed position, the latch member providing a means for reducing the chance of electrical shock through restricting access to the box;
• at least one claw attachment member secured to the base of the box;
• at least one adjustable claw, wherein the claws are sized and fitted to removably secure and hold at least one power strip in position on the base, at least one claw further having a foot portion having a position adjustment slot, the slot sized to receive the attachment member, the slot sized to allow the claw to be adjusted to accommodate one or two power strips, the attachment member engaging the foot of the claw through the slot so as to provide limited movement of the claw for adjustment against the power strip;
• and
• a retaining means to secure the adjustable claw in a desired position by engaging the attachment member.
