Benefits of technology

"The present invention is an electrical adapter with a power outlet that can provide power to devices through a receptacle or an adapter to computer cord. The adapter-receptacle housing has a receptacle portion connected to a power source, and an adapter portion connected to the receptacle. The receptacle can be connected to a power source to adapter-receptacle cord or the adapter to computer cord. The adapter has a USB port that can be used to charge or power devices. The technical effects of this invention include providing a convenient and flexible way to power devices using an electrical adapter."

Problems solved by technology

These appliances and their rechargeable batteries cannot use AC directly.
This electricity, while more useful, has too much noise to power sensitive electronics.
However this device powers many different electronic devices, and still uses many cords in the process.
The prior art includes adapters without the capability for other devices to plug into the adapter.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to an electronic adapter that has a receptacle capable of receiving power cords. In addition to allowing access to a power receptacle from a single power source, the present invention eliminates the need to carry an extra extension cord to allow multiple users to power their accessories, i.e. notebook computers from a single power source.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to an apparatus that is a computer adapter, such as those used or notebook computers, which is capable of receiving two and three prong power cords.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The AC adapters job is to take standard household AC, reduce the voltage, and convert it to tightly-regulated direct current (DC) that electronic appliances need. These appliances and their rechargeable batteries cannot use AC directly.[0003]AC: For example, in the United States, it is typical that the electricity in your household wiring comes as 110-127 volts of 60-cycle alternating current. The AC adapter plugs into a standard outlet and feeds this AC into a small transformer. At any given moment, the average American house has 120 volts of electricity flowing through it. All of Europe and most of South America, Africa and Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand use a supply that is within 10% of 230 V, whereas Japan, North America and some parts of...
