AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional power strips with multiple outlets and USB ports face challenges in miniaturization due to the need for parallel horizontal arrangement of blade receiving structures, leading to increased horizontal dimensions and obstruction of surrounding outlets.

Method used

The power strip employs a design where outlets on the front and sides are vertically offset, and blade-receiving springs are formed three-dimensionally with overlapping parts to minimize horizontal expansion, allowing for compact design and shared horizontal space.

Benefits of technology

This configuration achieves a smaller housing with multiple outlets and USB ports, enhancing ease of installation and portability by avoiding proportional horizontal expansion, thus addressing the miniaturization challenge.

Abstract

This invention provides a power strip with an overlapping blade receiving structure that allows for a compact casing while having multiple power outlets and USB ports, and is less likely to obstruct surrounding outlets when plugged in, improving ease of installation and portability. [Solution] The power outlets are distributed on the front and sides of the main body, and each outlet is positioned vertically offset from the others. Furthermore, an internal structure is adopted in which the blade receiving parts (11, 22, 33) of the blade receiving spring (5) are stacked vertically, thereby reducing the size of the casing. Conventionally, power strips with multiple power outlets tend to have large casings due to constraints in the internal structure, and there is a problem that they obstruct surrounding outlets when plugged into an outlet.
