Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé destinés à offrir un système de charge par port USB étendu à bas coût et pouvant être facilement installé pour des commerces de détail. L'invention consiste à utiliser des prises USB à tension continue étanches à l'eau qui peuvent être montées autour d'un commerce de détail à des emplacements souhaitables partout où des clients peuvent se tenir assis ou debout (par exemple, dans des restaurants, des tavernes, des bars, etc.). Une alimentation électrique unique est couplée à une source de courant alternatif, et l'alimentation électrique fournit une basse tension continue à une pluralité de ces prises USB. Chaque prise USB est formée d'un ensemble prise USB qui peut être facilement monté à l'intérieur d'un boîtier de prise téléphonique classique ou sur une plaque de montage plate. Étant donné que le système comprend une configuration de câblage en courant continu basse tension, il peut être facilement installé sans avoir besoin d'électriciens agréés et sans avoir besoin de faire passer le câblage dans des conduits spéciaux ni avoir à pratiquer de grandes ouvertures dans des murs et des meubles.
