COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention Title: "SERIALIZABLE POWER RECEIVER/SUPPLY UNIT" The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: SERIALIZABLE POWER RECEIVERSUPPLY UNIT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a serializable power receiver/supply unit, in the field of line connectors.
Brief Description of the Related Art Electricity has been utilized by people for a long time, because it make people's lives very convenient and fast.
The products and appliances that are increasingly being developed all utilize electricity. For the present life circumstances, whether it is for the residence or the office, the various kinds of electric appliances increase day by day. Because of numerous electric appliances, the power receiver device is necessary.
"The present power receivers have a main output connected to a power supply and preset socket holes. Electric appliances are provided with a plug, so that the current can pass through when the plug is selectively 20 inserted into the socket. Therefore, for accommodating multiple plugs the oooo number of the holes is increased to form a so-called "extension line".
Some extension lines are provided with the necessary electric appliance elements such as a timer, a surge protector and so on. Although such variations can save the trouble of individual installation, the installed element may lie idle during the time without the necessity for its use. Another disadvantage is that the socket must be thrown away if the surge protector device, etc. are damaged, which obviously is a waste.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a serializable power receiver/supply unit which can overcome the defects of the prior art. The units are serializable to function If one of the units is damaged or not in use.
The various components can also have a modular design.
The technical measures embodying the above-mentioned object of the present invention are as follows: the serilalizable receiver/supply unit consists of a body, terminals, wiring and components, wherein male terminals are provided at one side of a body, female terminals which can be inserted by said male terminals, and lines are connected with the components provided within the body. One end can be a power receiver, and 15 other end can be a power supply to another unit. The components can be socket, timer, surge protector device or illuminator. The connection of said male terminal, female terminal with the wirings is inserted into the end seats of the male terminal and female terminal through the wiring terminals. Said female terminals have an end sleeve, and a central sleeve hole, and the 0ee* eeo 20 male terminals have an end pin which Is inserted into the end sleeve.
Oleo BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The serializable power receiver/supply unit of the present invention will be now described in detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is an exploded view showing the serializable power receiver/supply unit of the present invention with the multiple-hole socket.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the present invention assembled.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a female terminal of the unit of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is cross-sectional view showing a male terminal of the init for the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a top view showing a timer unit of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a top view showing the unit with a surge protector device.
FIG. 7 is a top view showing the unit of the present invention including a variety of components in series.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
S.
15 As shown in drawings, the present invention comprises a terminal that b is respectively provided with a male terminal on one end, and a female terminal on another end, with components provided on the body between the terminals, which function as surge protector device, multiple-hole socket, timer, etc.
20 Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the multiple-hole socket for example, has wiring 11, for passing through the electrical current, in the body 1, including a namely positive pole, a negative pole and a ground pole. The wiring terminals 12 are provided at the ends of the wiring 11 (shown in Figs. 3 and and are inserted and connected to the male and female terminals.
4 In the external ends of the wiring terminal 12, a male terminal 13 is provided in one end, and a female terminal 14 is provided in another end.
The terminals have end seats 131, 141 made of a conducting metal with internal diameters forming insertable end holes 132, 142 for said wiring terminal 12. For its constant connection, the locking holes 133, 143 can also be provided in the side of, especially above the male terminal 13 and female terminal 14, so that wiring terminals 12 are fixed by a screw.
The male terminal 13 has end pin 134 in the form of the integrated and extended bar, while female terminal 14 has end sleeve 144, with a sleeve hole 145 in the center, its internal diameter corresponding to that of said end pin 134. Each end pin 134 and 144 are isolated.
The component 15 is provided in the line between male terminal 13 and female terminal 14 in the body 1 and comprises a multiple-hole socket, which has socket elements 151 forming an inserted hole. Since these socket elements 151 are well known, they are not further described.
Referring to Fig. 2, the unit of the present invention forms a bar-like body I which can be used for a power receiver on its ends, the male terminal 13 is at one end, and the female terminal 14 is at another end. When one of the male terminal 13 or female terminal 14 is connected to a power supply, the female terminal 14 or male terminal in the another end can also be used as a power receiver inserted another unit.
The design of male terminal 13 and female terminal 14 can be varied, but should enable on end to be inserted into an opposite end.
Referring to Fig. 5, the unit of the present invention may include a timer, which has male and female terminals 13, 14, or, as shown in Fig. 6, a surge protector device unit. As shown in Fig. 7 the different component units of the present invention are sued in series, such as an illuminator, a timer and a socket assembly.
Therefore, the present invention can include a selective combination in series. If one of the units is damaged or is not in use, it can be put aside, and the other units can still act in series. In addition, the various components can be formed into standardized design.
The present invention discloses only a preferred embodiment, partial modification or variation from the technical idea of the present invention and which are easily inferred by those skilled in the art shall belong to the claimed scope of the present invention.
