Abstract
A mountable power strip includes: first and second arm sections each including a plurality of electrical receptacles; a coupling assembly configured to couple the arm sections together for rotational movement relative to each other about a rotational axis; and a ratcheting assembly configured to define degrees of relative rotational movement about the rotational axis between the arm sections. The coupling assembly includes a connecting member secured in fixed disposition to the first arm section that retains the arm sections together. The ratcheting assembly includes a release member retained on the connecting member that is axially slidable relative thereto. The release member includes teeth that engage teeth of the second arm section. A biasing element retained between the connecting member and the release member is configured to bias the release member toward the rim cap such that the teeth of the release member engage the teeth of the rim cap.
