The present invention relates to a multi-tap, and more particularly, to a separate multi-tap capable of efficient space use and increase or decrease the connection can be made by recombining the sub-unit separated or separated into sub-units.

In general, a multi-tap is a tap provided with a plurality of connection ports to which a plug of an electric device is connected, and is a tap used for simultaneously using a plurality of electric devices. Such a multi-tap has a generally long bar shape when a plurality of connection ports are arranged in a line.

In the case of an elongated multi-tap, the length of the multi-tap also increases as the number of access ports increases, which may be inconvenient for the user because it is used while occupying a lot of space in a home or office. For example, an elongated power strip may be kicked by the people who pass, or it may be inconvenient in handling because it takes up a lot of space unnecessarily even when cleaning. In addition, if the plug is not connected to all the connectors provided in the power strip and the plug is connected to only some of the connections, leaving a large number of unused connections, the above-mentioned length of the power strip causes inconvenience in handling. Becomes even larger.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and by subunits separated or subunits are recombined to form a whole multi-tap, the unused part can be stored separately when all the access ports provided The purpose is to provide a detachable multi-tap that can be recombined so that the separated parts can be adjusted in length and the connection port can be increased and decreased.

In order to achieve the above object and other objects, the detachable multi-tap according to the present invention has a plurality of sub-multi-taps each having at least one connection port to which a plug of an external electric device can be connected, and electrically connected to each other in order. The first sub-multi-tap of the plurality of sub-multi taps includes a power input code connected to an external power source.

Further, the sub-multitaps after the first sub-multitap each have a connection plug, and the sub-multitaps before the last sub-multitap among the plurality of sub-multitaps each have a connection port to which a connection plug of a sub-multitap connected thereto is connected. It is preferable.

In addition, the detachable power strip is preferably provided with a switch for disconnecting power to the first sub-multi-tap.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the detachable multi-tap according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, for example, a detachable multi-tap having six connectors so that up to six plugs are connected as an example.

1 and 2 is a combined perspective view and an exploded perspective view of the detachable multi-tap according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The detachable power strip 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a six-hole detachable type having six connection ports 111, 112, 121, 122, 131, and 132 to which a plug (not shown) of another power device may be connected. As a multi-tap, it consists of three subunits of the 1st thru | or 3rd submultitaps 110,120,130. In addition, each of the sub-multi taps 110, 120, 130 is provided with two connection ports 111, 112, 121, 122, 131, and 132 to which plugs of external electric devices can be connected.

The first sub-multi tap 110 includes two connection ports 111 and 112 and an external power source is input. One side of the first sub-multi tap 110 is provided with a power input cord 113 that can be connected to an external power source and a plug 114 provided at the end of the power input cord 113, which is input from the power input cord 113. A switch capable of interrupting power is provided on the upper surface of the first sub-multi tap 110 on the side from which the power input cord 113 is drawn. In addition, the tab connector 116 is formed so that the other sub-multi-taps 120 or 130 are coupled to the opposite side from which the power input cord 113 is drawn out.

The connector to which the plug or submultitab is coupled may be provided with, for example, two plug mounting holes 111a, as shown in FIG. 2, in the form of a recess slightly recessed from the surface to ensure mounting of the plug or submultitab. Can be formed.

On the upper surface of the second sub-multi tap 120, which may be coupled to the tap connector 116 of the first sub-multi tab 110, two connectors 121 and 122 may be formed to which a plug of another electric device may be connected. On one side, a connection plug 123 that can be fitted to the tab connector 116 is provided, and a tab connector 124 to which the third sub-multi tap 130 is coupled to the other side is provided. As the plug 123 is inserted into the plug mounting hole 116a formed in the tab connector 116, the second sub multi-tap 120 is coupled to the first sub multi-tap 110.

Similarly, the third sub-multitab 130 constituting the remaining sub-unit of the detachable multi-tap 100 is formed with two connection ports 131 and 132 to which plugs of other electric devices can be connected. One side of the third sub-multi tap 130 is provided with a connection plug 133 fitted into another sub-multi tap, that is, the tap connector 116 or 124 of the first sub-multi tap 110 or the second sub-multi tap 120. Therefore, when the third sub-multi tap 130 is combined with the first sub multi-tap 110, the separate multi-tap 100 has a total of four ports, and the third sub multi tap 130 is connected to the second sub multi tap 120. It will be understood that when combined, the detachable multi-tap 100 will have a total of six ports.

3A and 3B are perspective views illustrating an example in which the detachable multi-tap 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is used. When only the first and second sub-taps 110 and 120 are coupled as shown in FIG. 3A or only the first and third sub-multitaps 110 and 130 are coupled as shown in FIG. 3B, the split multi-tap 100 is used. Can also be used as a four-hole power strip with two sub-units, with a total of four connections.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the detachable multi-tap 100 may be used as a six-pronged multi-tap having a total of six connection ports by combining the first to third sub-multitaps 110, 120, and 130 in order. Only one sub-multitap 110 may be used alone.

In this way, the length adjustment of the separate type power strip 100 becomes possible. That is, according to the form in which the first to third sub-taps 110, 120, and 130, which are subunits, are coupled, the connection port of the separate type power strip 100 may be increased or decreased. For example, in the case of a two-hole multi-tap, the first sub-multi tap 110 may be used alone, and in the case of a four-hole multi-tap, the first and second sub-taps 110 and 120 or the first and third sub-multi taps. 110 and 130 may be used, and in the case of a six-hole multi-tap, the first to third sub-multitaps 110, 120 and 130 may be used. Therefore, unlike the conventional long bar-shaped multi-tap, since the detachable multi-tap 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be adjusted in length, it does not occupy a lot of space and may increase convenience in handling.

On the other hand, since the connection plugs 123 and 133 are provided at one side of the second sub-multi tap 120 or the third sub multi-tab 130, they may be inserted into a power outlet installed on a wall or the like. That is, without the first sub-multitap 110 into which power is introduced, the second sub-multitap 120 or the third sub-multitab 130 may be inserted into another power outlet and used as a two-hole multi-tap, in particular, the second sub-multitap ( 120 may be inserted first, and the third sub-multi-tab 130 may be inserted into the tab connector 124 to form a four-hole multi-tap.

According to the detachable multi-tap according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above, the sub-multi-tap of each subunit can be separated and combined with each other so that the number of connectors can be increased or decreased in the form of 6-hole, 4-hole or 2-hole, etc. Unlike elongated power strips, separate power strips are provided that can be adjusted in length according to the use situation and the user's needs to increase handling convenience.

Therefore, the detachable multi-tap according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention enables efficient space use, and in a situation in which some connectors are used, only subunits of sub-multitabs are combined as many as the number of connectors used, so that there are no unused connectors. Safety advantages. In addition, when storing without using a separate multi-tap, since the sub-multi-taps can be stored overlapping with each other, a multi-tap that takes up less storage space is obtained.
