Modular extendable outlet assembly

A modular extendable outlet assembly comprising:

• a plurality of selectively removably couplable outlet units each having:
• an electrical housing with a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a front face, a rear face opposing the front face and having a mount wall, the electrical housing further having a sidewall enclosing, with the front and rear faces of the electrical housing, a unit cavity;
• a first electrical socket defined by and disposed on the front face of the electrical housing;
• a second electrical socket defined by and disposed on the second end of the electrical housing;
• a plug cord aperture defined by and disposed on the first end of the housing;
• a spool assembly disposed within the unit cavity and with a spring-loaded spool member;
• an electrical cord coupled to and wrapped around the spring-loaded spool member, the electrical cord having a portion disposed within the plug cord aperture and including an electrical plug disposed at a terminal end of the electrical cord, the electrical plug having an electrical prong configuration corresponding to a prong configuration of the second electrical socket, and electrically coupled to the first electrical socket and the second electrical socket;
• a pair of cantilevered plug fastening members coupled to and extending away from the second end of the electrical housing, the pair of cantilevered plug fastening members flanking the second electrical socket, the pair of cantilevered plug fastening members operably configured to directly couple with the electrical plug;
• a cord release switch disposed on the electrical housing, operably coupled to the spring-loaded spool member, and operably configured to selectively translate and cause the spring-loaded spool member to rotate and extend in length the electrical cord a distance from the electrical housing, wherein each of the plurality of selectively removably couplable outlet units are operably configured to be selectively and independently electrically couplable, extendable, and retractable with respect to one another;
• and
• a unit activation switch electrically coupled to the first electrical socket, the second electrical socket, and the electrical plug, the unit activation switch disposed on the electrical housing and operably configured to selectively translate to a first position closing a circuit with respect to the first electrical socket and at least one of the second electrical socket and the electrical plug and a second position opening a circuit with respect to the first electrical socket and at least one of the second electrical socket and the electrical plug, the unit activation switch illuminating when in the second position.
