ELECTRIC SOCKET GIGOGNE

  The present invention consists of an electrical socket called "pull-out" comprising a male side and a female side, which associated with the wire of an electrical appliance makes it possible to connect a second one without having to use accessories.

multi-socket type annexes.

  The electrical outlets currently available with appliances using electricity only allow one appliance to be plugged into an outlet at a time, unless

  to use an accessory accessory of the multiple socket type.

  This is particularly true for everything related to computer hardware, when you have to, for example, simultaneously connect a microcomputer, a screen, a printer, a scanner, etc. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. It indeed has a male side intended to be plugged into a generally wall-mounted socket and a female side internally connected to the male side intended to receive the male socket of a

other device.

  Until now, to connect several devices to the same socket, we used either a socket comprising a male part and at least two female parts, or a power strip comprising a plurality of socket outlets and a cable allowing the block to be connected to a taken

wall current.

  There are however a certain number of systems making it possible to stack male elements on female elements, such as for example the devices described in patents FR1600764, FR1302085, FR1461897 and FR1522164. The various known devices are limited to sockets only

  with only two terminals (+ and -) without earth connection.

  The device according to the invention will now be described

  in more detail by reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Figures 6 to 8 show, respectively, a front, side and bottom view of a second mode of

  realization of the device according to the invention.

  Figures 9 to 11 show, respectively, a front, side and bottom view of a third mode of

  realization of the device according to the invention.

  In the first embodiment of the invention, the socket comprises a solid cylindrical body (1) surmounted by a

hollow cylindrical part (2).

  The upper part of the cylindrical body (1) comprises two sockets (6), forming the female part of the device, and a pin (7), projecting perpendicular to the

  cylinder section, for earth connection.

  The lower part of the cylinder (1) comprises a socket (3) intended to receive the earth connection pin of the wall outlet or of another device according to the invention on which it is stacked. Two pins (4) are also provided, projecting perpendicular to the section of the cylinder and which represent the male part of the

device.

  The hollow cylindrical part (2) serves to protect

the spindle (7).

  The electric cable (5) intended to be connected to an appliance forms any angle, preferably

  perpendicular, with the axis of the pins (4).

  The socket (3) and the pins (4) are connected to the cable (5). The socket (3) and the pin (7) are connected to each other. Pins (4) and sockets (6) are connected

between them one by one.

  In this description, parts (1) and (2)

  are always represented in a cylindrical form, this because of the standards currently in force. However, the invention is not limited to this particular form and it is obvious that the invention is applicable to any other form, insofar as this makes it possible to achieve the

objectives of the invention.

  According to a variant, the hollow cylindrical part (2) is provided with an articulated cover, which comprises a system of

spring to keep it closed.

  According to another variant, the device does not have a cylindrical part (2) and the female part of the body (1) is closed by an articulated cover, provided with a spring system to keep it closed and which carries with it the plug. earth (7) when opening and closing the

lid.

  The device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to stack one on the other several identical sockets and thus to connect on a single socket a plurality of devices

  electric without using additional devices.

  To overcome the problems posed by the installation in a room of a stack of sockets, several

particular embodiments.

  Thus according to the second embodiment of the invention, represented by FIGS. 6 to 8, the part

4,2784512

  female makes an angle of 90 with the male part allowing a

  stacking parallel to the walls of the room.

  To allow the orientation of the stack of sockets according to the space available, other variant embodiments have also been provided. According to the third embodiment of the invention, represented by FIGS. 9 to 11, there is included an articulation around an axis (8) between the female part and the male part so as to allow rotation of the female part around of the male part from 0 to 360, a stop (9) preventing

do several rounds.

  Finally, the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but covers it to

otherwise all variants.
