DE2620432A1 - Multiple socket holder on baseplate - has sufficient space in housing to accommodate pin for winding excess cable - Google Patents

Abstract

The multiple socket holder (1) consists of a box shaped lower section (14) and a cover (13) with a number of sockets (10) mounted on a baseplate (15). There is sufficient vacant space for the excess lengths of cable attached to a number of plugs (7). The socket holder forms a junction for a number of electrical appliances (2-5). The sockest are fitted at the centre of the lower section. There is a ring-shaped air scoop between the sockets and the side-walls (16). This is intended for the connecting cables (L2-L5). The excess cable is wound around a pin. The holder is intended for use in offices where several electrical units such as desk lamps, computers, electric typewriters, radios, dictating machines and electrical clocks are all in use at the same time.

Description

Multiple socket receptacles with storage space for excess

Cable lengths.

The purpose of the invention is to create a lockable multiple socket outlet container, in the interior thereof, except for the example, fixed in the middle; attached multiple socket enough additional storage space to accommodate excess connection cable lengths one or more electrical devices connected at the same time via plugs present is.

Even today, for example, there are several electrical devices on office desks (Table lamp, calculator, typewriter, radio, dictation machine, electronic clock, etc.) connected or

operated. As there is usually only nine socket as a power source in the in the immediate vicinity, one can help oneself in these cases with the interposition a known multiple socket. Since the connecting cables of the individual connected Electrical devices usually longer than the distance from the multiple socket to the connected one The device is, the cables are hanging or lying in messy and unsightly loops and arches around. This also applies to multiple connections in kitchens, laboratories and the like Workplaces.

This is improved by the fact that a per se known multiple socket 10) approximately in the middle of a box-shaped container lower part 14) on the base plate 15) is attached. Between the multiple socket 10) and the side walls 16), which have about the same height as the socket body, a ring is formed = Shaped storage space in which excess lengths of the plug 7) with the multiple socket 10) connected connecting lines 12 to L5 can be accommodated in a loop can. A subdivision of the cable loops is also possible on the base plate 15) attached, vertical: standing mandrels 18) possible. The interior is permitted also the accommodation of otherwise loosely lying around Small parts such as a charger for a pocket calculator.

There are in all side walls 16) of the container lower part 14) a series of upwardly open cable inlet slots arranged at short lateral intervals 17) from which the connecting lines £ 2 to L5 can be connected to the individual Electrical devices 2) to 5) can be placed in any desired exit direction.

See sketch Fig. 1 and installation plan Fig. 2. The same applies also for the connection line L1 for the multiple socket 10).

The container lower part 14) is after the insertion of the connecting lines L1 to L5 can be closed by a container lid 13).

The container lid 13) can also be rotated via a lid hinge 20) to be opened or with a child-proof lid lock 21) against unauthorized persons Be sure to open. It is also conceivable to use the cover as an inclined desk cover 22) with a stop edge 23) in order to set up a telephone or to allow a note calendar to be put on. In the base plate 15) attached Fastening holes 19) allow the complete multiple socket outlet container to be fixed in place 1) using screws on a wall or furniture surface.

Further features and details of the invention emerge from the Claims and the accompanying patent drawings.
