Abstract
An electrical outlet includes a main socket unit, and an additional socket unit movably mounted in the main socket unit. The main socket unit includes a power transmitting port, a plurality of sockets, and a first electrical connector. The sockets and the first electrical connector are electrically connected to the power transmitting port. The additional socket unit includes a plurality of sockets, and a second electrical connector electrically connected to the sockets of the additional socket unit. When the additional socket unit extends from within the main socket unit the first electrical connector of the main socket unit is electrically connected to the second electrical connector of the additional socket unit.
Claims17
An electrical outlet comprising:
- a main socket unit including a power transmitting port, a plurality of sockets and a first electrical connector, the sockets and the first electrical connector being electrically connected to the power transmitting port;
- and
- an additional socket unit movably mounted in the main socket unit, the additional socket unit including a plurality of sockets, and a second electrical connector electrically connected to the sockets of the additional socket unit;
- wherein when the additional socket unit moves out of the main socket unit, the first electrical connector of the main socket unit is electrically connected to the second electrical connector of the additional socket unit.
An electrical outlet comprising:
- a main socket unit including a housing, a power transmitting port connecting to an end of the housing, and a plurality of sockets electrically connected to the power transmitting port;
- and
- an additional socket unit including a plurality of sockets moveably received in the housing;
- wherein the additional socket unit is capable of being moved out of the housing of the main socket unit and positioned at variable positions according to need, when the additional socket unit is moved out of the housing of the main socket unit, the sockets of the additional socket unit are electrically connected to the power transmitting port, the main socket unit includes a first electrical connector electrically connected to the power transmitting port, the additional socket unit includes a second electrical connector electrically connected to the sockets of the additional socket unit, when the additional socket unit is moved out of the housing of the main socket unit, the first electrical connector is electrically connected to the second electrical connector.
