A device, the device comprising:
- a body, wherein the body comprises:
- a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end, wherein the first end comprises an outwardly facing face;
- and
- a middle portion extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the middle portion extends in a perpendicular direction with respect to the outwardly facing face of the first end;
- a sleeve, wherein the sleeve is movable to cover the middle portion;
- and
- a cord extending from the body.
A device, the device comprising:
- a body, wherein the body comprises:
- a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end, wherein the first end comprises an outwardly facing face, wherein a cross sectional width dimension of the first end is greater than a cross sectional width dimension of the middle portion and a cross sectional width dimension of the second end;
- a middle portion extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the middle portion extends in a perpendicular direction with respect to the outwardly facing face of the first end;
- and
- electrical prongs located on an outwardly facing face of the second end;
- a sleeve, wherein the sleeve is movable along a lengthwise axis of the device to cover at least a portion of at least one of:
- the middle portion and the electrical prongs;
- and
- a cord electrically connected to the electrical prongs and extending from the middle portion of the body;
- wherein the electrical prongs extend through an opening in the sleeve when the sleeve covers the middle portion.
An electrical adapter, the electrical adapter comprising:
- a body, wherein the body comprises:
- a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end, wherein the first end comprises an outwardly facing face, wherein a cross sectional width dimension of the first end is greater than a cross sectional width dimension of the middle portion and a cross sectional width dimension of the second end;
- a middle portion extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the middle portion extends in a perpendicular direction with respect to the outwardly facing face of the first end;
- and
- electrical prongs located on an outwardly facing face of the second end;
- a sleeve, wherein the sleeve is movable to cover the middle portion, wherein an inner width dimension of the sleeve is less than an outer width dimension of the first end;
- and
- a cord electrically connected to the electrical prongs and extending from the middle portion of the body;
- wherein the electrical prongs extend through an opening in the sleeve when the sleeve covers the middle portion.
