A power strip is described which includes a first unit containing a connecting member and an electrical outlet, wherein the first unit is electrically connected to a plug; and (b) a second unit electrically connected to the first unit, the second unit containing an electrical outlet and a complementary connecting member that is complementary to the connecting member of the first unit, wherein the second unit is removably attached to the first unit by cooperation of the connecting member of the first unit and the connecting member of the second unit.

Modular power strip

The present invention relates to a multiple peripheral connection device for connecting multiple peripheral devices to a host device via a series of flexible electrical connectors. The device includes a multiplicity of port orienting structures having downstream ports provided thereon. The port orienting structures are individually movable relative to the device housing and one another so as to enable relative orientation of said downstream ports provided thereon to be adjusted to facilitate establishing the electrical coupling between the downstream ports and the multiple peripheral devices.

Multiple peripheral connection device for connecting multiple peripheral devices to a host device

A modular power strip having two or more modules with each having at least one electrical outlet. The modules are removably connected to each other to provide one or more remote electrical connections. Each module is electrically connected. An electrical cord connecting the modules can be stored when the modules are connected.

The present invention relates to a portable surge protector providing both power line and data line surge protection. The surge protector has a housing with a central opening, and an internal cavity surrounding the central opening with a peripheral opening to receive a cord. By rotation of a mounting reel, the cord moves between a nonuse, coiled position within the housing to a use extended position outside of the housing. An electrical connector is pivotally supported in the central opening housing and has at least one electrical socket and a set of electrical prongs that extend rearwardly from the socket. The connector can be rotated to a first position normal to the housing, in which the prongs and the socket are exposed for use, or to a second position parallel to the housing, in which the socket and the prongs are recessed in the central opening.

Portable surge protector

A copyholder for holding and positioning documents. The copyholder contains a flat surface and a multi-action document holder which pivots between a horizontal position when in use, and a vertical position when not in use. The document holder pivots by a spring loaded mechanism, which locks it into the vertical and horizontal positions. The spring loaded mechanism also allows the document holder to expand and accept thick documents. The document holder also functions as a lineguide.
