Abstract
A retractable electrical plug for mounting in a hollow wall structure of a building and for charging the batteries of portable communication devices, including a face plate for mounting to hollow wall structures defining on its exterior surface a plug recess, a plug shaped to nest in the plug recess, a cord opening in the face plate extending from the plug recess to the interior surface of the face plate, and an electrical conductor cord that extends from the plug and through the cord opening into the hollow wall.
Claims17
A retractable wall mounted electrical plug assembly for charging a communication device, comprising:
- a support box for mounting in a hollow wall structure of a building in alignment with a wall opening in the wall structure,
- the support box including a box opening for registering with the wall opening,
- a face plate having an interior surface facing the support box and mounted to the support box about the box opening, and an exterior surface facing away from the support box,
- the exterior surface of the face plate defining a plug recess,
- an electrical plug sized and shaped to telescopically fit in the plug recess,
- a cord opening extending from the plug recess to the interior of the support box,
- an insulated electrical conductor cord including an outer end connected to the plug, an intermediate portion extending between the plug and through the cord opening and into the support box, and an inner end in the support box for connection to an electrical current source.
A retractable electrical plug for charging a battery-charged communication device, comprising:
- a support box for mounting in a hollow wall structure of a building in alignment with a wall opening in the wall structure,
- a face plate having an interior surface for facing the support box and for mounting to the support box, and an exterior surface for facing away from the support box,
- a retractable plug having an electrical contact that is sized and shaped to fit a plug receptacle of an electrical hand held communication device, the plug including a finger grip extending away from the electrical contact sized for grasping by human fingers as the plug is being connected to the portable battery charged communication device,
- a plug recess formed in the face plate sized and shaped to receive the electrical contact of the retractable plug,
- a cord opening in the face plate extending from the plug recess to the interior of the support box, and
- an insulated electrical conductor cord extending through the cord opening and including an outer end connected to the retractable plug, an intermediate portion extending between the retractable plug and through the cord opening and into the support box, and an inner end in the support box for connection to an electrical current source.
A retractable electrical plug for mounting in a hollow wall structure for charging a battery-charged portable communication device comprising:
- a face plate having an interior surface for facing internally of a hollow wall structure and an exterior surface for facing externally of the hollow wall structure,
- a plug recess formed in the exterior surface of the face plate,
- a cord opening in the face plate extending from the plug recess to the interior of the face plate,
- a retractable electrical plug sized and shaped to fit into the plug recess,
- an electrical plug including a plug body and electrical contact extending from the plug body sized and shaped to fit into the plug recess, a cord for extending through the cord opening, and
- an electrical conductor cord extending from the retractable electrical plug and through the cord opening.
An electrical plug including a body, an electrical contact extending in a first direction away from the body, a finger grip extending in a direction normal to the first direction, and an insulated electrical cord extending from the body in a direction opposed to the finger grip.
