Definitions

  • the invention relates to power strips and more particularly to such a power strip for outdoor applications
  • Power strips may be used outdoor (e.g., gardens) for supplying power to electrical devices, electric bulbs, etc.
  • extension lines are required to connect to a single power strip (or a plurality of power strips are connected together) since length of a single power strip is limited.
  • poor contacts, etc. may occur in such electrical connection due to its nature.
  • no protection is provided to the power strip or extension line. Hence, water, rain, snow, moisture, etc. may enter to cause short circuit. This is dangerous. Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
  • no extension lines or connecting a plurality of power strips together is required for supplying power to outdoor electrical devices.
  • water, rain, snow, moisture, etc. is prevented from entering the housed electrical outlets of the power strip to cause short circuit.
  • It is another object of the invention to provide an outdoor power strip comprising one or more electrical outlets each including a housing with the at least one cord section extending therefrom, a hinged cover for opening or sealingly closing the housing, and an electrical member in the housing.
  • the electrical member is a switch.
  • the electrical member is a socket.
  • the invention provides an outdoor power strip comprising a plug; one or more electrical outlets; and at least one cord section each either interconnecting two adjacent ones of the electrical outlets or interconnecting the plug and the next electrical outlet.
  • an outdoor power strip in accordance with the invention comprises a plug 10, a plurality of electrical outlets 20, and a plurality of cord sections 30 each either interconnecting two adjacent electrical outlets 20 or interconnecting the plug 10 and the immediately next electrical outlet 20.
  • the plug 10 is adapted to insert into an electrical outlet so that, for example, AC (alternating current) power can be supplied from the electrical outlet to the power strip (i.e., the electrical outlets 20).
  • the whole power strip including the plug 10, the electrical outlets 20, and the cord sections 30 is manufactured in factory.
  • water repellant capability and structural strength of the power strip are greatly improved.
  • the electrical outlet 20 comprises a housing 22 with the cord sections 30 extending therefrom, a hinged cover 21 for opening or sealingly closing the housing 22, and a switch 23 in the housing 22.
  • the electrical outlet 20 comprises a housing 22, a hinged cover 21 for opening or sealingly closing the housing 22, and a switch 23 in the housing 22.
  • the electrical outlet 20 comprises a housing 22, a hinged cover 21 for opening or sealingly closing the housing 22, and a socket 24 in the housing 22. Another plug at the end of a power cord can be inserted into the socket 24 for power sourcing.
  • the electrical outlet 20 comprises a housing 22 having a top 22a with a cross-shaped opening 25 formed on the top 22a.
  • the opening 25 is adapted to hang on a hook.
  • the electrical outlet 20 can be implemented to further include a timer in other embodiments.
  • a plurality of electrical outlets 20 are incorporated into a single housing as shown in any of FIGS. 2A to 2D in other embodiments.
