Device for electrifying dining table

Abstract

A device for attaching to the underside surface of a dining table which is connectable to a receptacle mounted in the floor beneath the table. The device has a generally T-shaped base with an electric receptacle box attached thereto which contains a plurality of plug receptacles, a circuit breaker, a power ON-OFF switch and a condition-indicating light. A plurality of hook formations are located adjacent the receptacle box for releasably holding the ends of one or more electrical cords from appliances such as coffee pots, bun warmers, hot plates, etc., resting on the table surface. A pair of reel-forming hooks are formed on the elongated leg portion of the T-shaped base to provide a storage reel for an electrical supply cord connected to the receptacle box. The supply cord is adapted to be connected to the floor-mounted receptacle for energizing the receptacles mounted on the base. The floor-mounted receptacle includes a tubular sleeve of dielectric material having a plug-in receptacle mounted in the upper end thereof. A closure cap is removably mounted in the upper end of the receptacle sleeve to conceal the receptacle when the device is not in use and when the power supply cord is disconnected and is placed in stored position on the reel hooks.
