DE202021000294U1 - External power distributor through optionally adjustable slots - Google Patents

Abstract

External power distributor (1) which comprises a housing (10) with a plurality of socket inserts (11, 11 ') arranged in a row and designed to receive a plug, characterized in that at least one socket insert (11) in the longitudinal direction and vertical direction to the housing (10 ) is variable in distance to at least one adjacent socket insert (11 ').

Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to an external power distributor by means of optionally adjustable slots. according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

According to the state of the art, devices are referred to as external power distributors (also multiple sockets, power strips) by means of which a connection to the power grid is provided for several electrical devices with standardized plug connections, the power strip for this purpose usually being connected to a power outlet and due to the internal Parallel connection, all slots are supplied with power. The socket strip acts as a distributor in contrast to the pure extension cable, which usually only offers a single connection.

The disadvantage of the known socket strips is that, even when the socket inserts (positions) are rotated by 45 °, they are basically not designed to accommodate several socket-outlet transformers lying next to one another (also called transformer plugs or transformer plug-in power supplies), since the distance between the Socket outlets are too small for this.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating an external power distributor which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and which makes it possible to accommodate several socket transformers on socket inserts that are located next to one another or that are adjustable in height.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous refinements and developments of the external power distributors according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

According to the invention, an external power distributor of the type mentioned at the beginning is characterized in that at least one socket insert is variable in distance in the longitudinal direction or height direction to the housing to at least one adjacent socket insert.

Brief description of the drawings

Further goals, features, advantages and possible uses of the socket strip according to the invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings. In this case, all of the features described and / or illustrated form the subject matter of the invention individually or in any combination, regardless of the summary in individual claims or their back-reference.

Implementation of the invention

How out 1 apparent, comprises the external power distributor according to the invention 1 at least one (preferably telescopic) guide element 100 oriented in the longitudinal direction and height direction of the housing or (not shown) one in its longitudinal direction and height direction relative to the socket strip 1 aligned dimension variable spacer element on which the at least one socket insert 11 is arranged displaceably or adjustable in the longitudinal direction and height direction to the housing 10.

The guide element 100, 100 'is preferably at least one slide rail, which can be designed to carry current at the same time. In a further embodiment of the invention, however, alternatively, for example, at least two socket inserts 11 can be connected to one another in a current-carrying manner by means of flexible lines.

The external power distributor according to the invention 1 is not limited in its implementation to the preferred embodiments specified above. Rather, a large number of design variations are conceivable, which make use of the solution shown even if the design is fundamentally different.
