Abstract
A multiple electrical receptacle unit adapted to be attached to a wall-mounted receptacle has a housing including a plurality of prong-receiving apertures penetrating the housing and a perimetric edge defining a wall-facing opening; a coupling means including a back plate which is integral with a plurality of pods as well as a plurality of spacers situated between the back plate and the pods, and a plurality of plugs having prongs projecting through the back plate for engagement in a wall receptacle. The coupling means is received within the perimetric edge of the housing to define a space between the plate and the housing, and the pods are within the housing adjacent to the apertures. Each pod encases a plurality of contact strips, and each strip is aligned with at least two of the apertures of the housing and is electrically connected to the prong of the plug.
