When the cart-type stand 1 is installed adjacent to the furniture with a top board 10, the underside of the power strip 3 does not have to face the upper surface of the top board 10a. In other words, when the cart-type stand 1 is installed adjacent to the furniture with a top board 10, the power strip 3 may be disposed outside the range of the top board 10a in a plan view. The same applies to the second embodiment.

[0072] In the above first embodiment, a rectangular parallelepiped power strip with four power outlet sockets 3a arranged on the front side has been described, but the shape of the power strip 3 and the number of power outlet sockets 3a are arbitrary. The power outlet sockets 3a may be arranged on a surface other than the front side of the power strip 3 (for example, the top surface of the power strip 3). The same applies to the second embodiment.

[0073] In the above first and second embodiments, the cart type stand 1 or the display mobile type stand 101, which is a power supply device, has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The power supply device of the present invention may have a power tap and may be used as a tool for supplying power. The power supply device of the present invention may be a product that is not subject to the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act (PSE), or may be a product that is subject to the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act (PSE).

[0074] Other configurations can also be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
