[0001] Rubber Plug Block

[0002] Technical field

[0003] The application relates to the communication field of rubber plug block Background

[0004] The use of a power strip with a rubber block plug is durable, flexible, and resistant to breakage. It is a better insulator than plastic and is suitable for use in risky situations, such as in wartime, for technicians, and rescue operations. However, the design for use in the scenarios is specifically tailored to those situations, making it unsuitable for general use and leading to higher costs. In other words, a rubber block power strip consists of a rubber block with sockets, which must always be used in conjunction with specifically designed outlets. Therefore, the design of the outlet must align with the rubber block, and when designing the rubber block power strip, it is essential to consider the type of outlet to be used. If the wrong brand or model of outlet is used, it may not fit the rubber block or could be incompatible. This invention aims to address this issue, allowing the rubber block power strip to be compatible with various types of outlets and other components. Since this invention allows the rubber block power strip to be disassembled and reassembled, users can adjust the layout to their needs. Additionally, patent US10594097B2 mentions a multi-functional power strip rail, which uses multiple outlet modules of different types in the same rail. However, the design is long and emphasizes a metal structure. US2268090A, on the other hand, is a rubber block that uses a fixed structure for the outlet, placed directly on the rubber block edge. This structure does not allow for easy alteration of the outlet or other components for general use.

[0005] The rubber block power strip can be strengthened and its grip improved in various ways, such as by adding metal with pre-tapped screw holes into the side walls or the base of the rubber block to secure mounting legs, for example. This invention can solve all of the aforementioned problems.

[0006] Summary

[0007] The rubber block power strip consists of the rubber block, cover, and various frames that are placed on the rubber base. The reason for needing a frame is to support the mounting hooks located on the outlets. Additionally, the power strips available in the market typically have a fixed base for supporting the outlet, which is a solid rubber platform that protrudes from the inner base of the rubber block. These rubber bases may have different shapes, heights, and sizes for positioning the outlet, depending on the type of outlet inserted. Since the cable entry points differ between models and brands, the fixed rubber base is designed to match only a fewspecific models. Sometimes, it works with just one or two brands. As a result, the existing rubber block power strips do not accommodate a wide range of outlets. If a user wants to change the brand or model of the outlet, it is not possible. To solve this issue, a new design has been created using a suspended outlet, where the outlet is held in the air, leaving the space below the outlet open without worrying about height or cable entry points. The outlet will always have weight-supporting hooks. However, these hooks are small and not suitable for direct placement on the rubber block, as they may easily detach or fall when the rubber block compresses or stretches. Therefore, the solution is to add a frame made of rigid plastic or other materials with similar rigid properties, which act as a support point for the weight hooks. Typically, rubber block power strips do not include this plastic frame, but once the issue is solved, the slot for the outlet can also accommodate other devices, such as light switches with weight-supporting hooks, allowing users to easily change configurations as needed. This can also help reduce global warming, similar to how Type-C chargers are used, helping to reduce waste. Factories can then produce multiple product variations based on customer needs, using the same mold, which reduces the need for multiple molds and saves storage space. This approach also uses resources more efficiently. The rubber block power strip is durable and resistant to damage, which increases safety. The inventor hopes that this design will become the standard for power strips in the future, contributing to further efforts in reducing global warming.

[0008] This invention also allows for the addition of metal reinforcements, such as steel on the side walls or underneath the base, to improve the structure's durability.

[0021] Detailed description of preferred embodiments

[0022] Figures 1 to 4 show the rubber block of an electrical plug (1) that uses a rubber block body (56) with three slots, where the three socket outlets (25) can be inserted directly into the three socket outlet slots (23), or one slot can be converted to accommodate a breaker (24) instead of a socket outlet (25) in the same socket outlet slot (23). However, the slot for the breaker (24) must have a height adjustment base (36) that consists of a hollow base (37) and a leveling platform (38), which is designed to have at least one adjustable level and is removable. The base has a shape similar to a plus sign when viewed from the side. The hollow base (37) is formed together with the base (10) and is placed in one of the socket outlets slot (23), with two height adjustment bases (36) supporting various devices, such as the breaker (24) and the side walls (6), (8) inside the slot with the hollow base (37) will have a wire groove entry (35), where there are always two grooves on one side. This groove is used to connect the wiring to the breaker (24). When installing the leveling platform (38), the required height must be considered because the height of each model and brand of breaker (24) differs. If the height is incorrect after installation, the leveling platform (38) with a different height on the other side should be inserted into the hollow base (37), and the inner cover lid (19) should be placed first, followed by the cover lid (18), which will then be pressed down flush with the rubber block edge (32). The release screw (22) should then be used to secure the inner cover lid (19) and cover lid (18) together in the same socket outlet slot (23). The positions of the inner cover lid hole (21) and cover lid hole (20) should be pre-aligned, but the notch (40)shown in Figure 8 on the inner cover lid (19) can be used instead, eliminating the need to worry about aligning the holes. Afterward, the release screw (22) should be tightened to secure the cover lid (18) in place. The breaker (24) will fit snugly. Additionally, the frame (28) should be installed in every socket outlet slot (23) to protect the rubber shoulder (31), which the frame (28) bears the entire weight, and if the frame (28) tilts out of position, it could cause the frame (28) from the adjacent slot to fall into the socket outlet slot (23) when force is applied, such as when plugging in an electrical plug. However, if it is possible to prevent the rubber shoulder (31) from tilting or falling off, the frame may not be necessary. For example, in Figure 5, the rubber shoulder (31) has an elevated edge on top to prevent the frame from sliding out and holds the rubber shoulder (31) in place. Alternatively, in the case of using a voltage-wattage measuring device like the KWS-AC301, the cover lid (18) will have holes for socket outlets (57) corresponding to the number of socket outlet slot (23), with a size that matches the socket outlet (25). This allows for independent adjustment in each slot for accommodating other devices. The socket outlet slot (23) should always have a frame (28) when used with devices that have weight-bearing ears (26). The term 'device' is not limited to just the socket outlet (25) but includes anything that can be inserted into the socket outlet slot (23), whether it has a weight-bearing ears (26) or not, such as a breaker (24) or a light switch (16). In this design, the socket outlet slot (23) has a depth of approximately 40 mm, width of 47 mm, and length of 74 mm. The availability of such open slots allows for various devices to be inserted without the need to modify the rubber block. However, it may be necessary to modify the hole for the socket outlet (57) on the cover lid (18) for the specific slot where the device is inserted. This can include enlarging, reducing, or even closing off the slot. In some cases, the height adjustment base (36) may also need to be modified by adjusting the leveling platform (38) to the desired height, such as when using the KWS-AC301 voltage and wattage measuring device, where the hole on the cover lid (18) will be enlarged specifically for this device at the socket outlet slot (23) position. The frame (28), which is sized to match the top of the socket outlet slot (23), is a border running around the socket outlet (25) or the device placed inside. The frame should have a depth that flushes with the socket outlet (25) and extend down into the base (10) by at least 5 mm all around to prevent the socket outlet (25) from flipping. For positioning the socket outlet (25), place the weight-bearing ears (26) of the socket outlet (25) on the upper portion of the frame (29) of the frame (28). The cover lid (18) will press down on the weight-bearing ears (26), and at the upper portion of the frame (29) of the frame (28), there will be a first protruding spur (300) (which is part of the same piece) that extends outward to allow the frame (28) to rest on the rubber shoulder (31). There will alwaysbe two rubber positions (31) directly opposite each other. The frame (28), when placed on the rubber shoulder (31), must be positioned approximately 2 mm lower than the rubber block edge (32). The weight-bearing ears (26), when placed on the upper portion of the frame (29), should be approximately 0.5 mm higher than the rubber block edge (32). This ensures that when the cover lid (18) presses down on the weight-bearing ears (26) of the socket outlet (25), the socket outlet (25) will be firmly pressed onto the frame (28) without moving. Once the release screw (22) is installed, the weight-bearing ears (26) will typically be about 2.5 mm thick. The principles described above apply to both the lower frame (48) and the frame with the base frame (47), except for the depth of at least 5 mm into the base (10), which is used only for the frame (28). The current rubber block plug (1) commonly used in the market cannot easily accommodate modifications for different devices to work in each socket outlet slot (23). This innovation allows both the socket outlet (25) and breaker (24) to be used in the same socket outlet slot (23). Additionally, users can swap the socket outlet (25) or other devices, whether they have weight-bearing ears (26) or not, into the same slot. For example, in Figure 4, this includes inserting a light switch (16), a USB port (17), or, as shown in Figure 1, a Wi-Fi smart switch.

[0023] The base frame (47) is an enhancement of the frame (28), with the addition of a supporting base (41) designed to address the issue of devices lacking weight-bearing ears (26). Instead of using weight-bearing ears (26), the device itself will act as the support, with the cover lid (18) pressing down to hold it in place. When a device is inserted into the base frame (47), its height will extend by about 0.5 mm beyond the rubber block edge (32). The supporting base (41) will have arms (42) that run along the device, serving as a connector between the upper portion of the frame (29) of the base frame (47) and the supporting base (41). The length and depth of the arms (42) will depend on the size of the device being placed in this position. There will also be a partition plate (43) to close the gap for the device being inserted into the base frame (47), locking the device in place. The cover lid (18) is then secured to the top of the rubber block edge (32) using the release screw (22). In this case, the device is a Wi-Fi smart switch (45) (Model: AP-SMT-BreakerO2-lCH), which is positioned within the base frame (47), while a single-socket outlet (44) is placed in the frame (28). Additionally, beneath the supporting base (41), there will be a pin (46) that extends downward, with a length of about 3 mm and a diameter of 4 mm, intended to secure various devices in the future.

[0024] In cases where additional strength is needed for the rubber block plug (1), this can be achieved by adding metal reinforcement (39). The metal is embedded into the side walls (6),(7), (8), (9), and the base (10) to ensure the rubber fully covers the metal. The metal reinforcement (39) can be added at two positions or any single point as needed. The metal reinforcement (39) is incorporated during the rubber molding process, so it cannot be removed afterward. The side metal (2) will be made from flat metal or steel, bent and welded together to form a continuous line around the inside of the rubber block body (56) at the side walls (6), (7), (8), (9). Similarly, the bottom metal (3) will also be made from flat metal or steel, bent and welded to form a continuous line around the inside of the base (10) of the rubber block body (56), or it could be a welded square frame made of steel placed vertically as shown in Figure 1. The metal reinforcement (39) will use flat metal with approximate dimensions: 12 mm in width, 4 mm in thickness, and holes (4) tapped for M5 bolts to secure the block to a mounting leg (12) or other devices. The side metal (2) and / or bottom metal (3) can be sized smaller as necessary, including the holes (4) that are tapped for threading. The metal will be shaped into a square frame, slightly smaller than the circumference of the rubber block plug (1) by approximately 2.5 mm on each side. This ensures the rubber is reinforced and fully covers all sides. After the bolts (11) are tightened, they should slightly protrude through the back of the hole (4), and a protective plate (5) is installed, which can be included or omitted. The plate is welded at points to the side metal (2) and bottom metal (3) as shown in Figure 1. Each hole (4) provides an additional layer of safety to prevent the bolts (11) from damaging the socket outlet (25). In the manufacturing process, to ensure the metal bonds well with the rubber, a special adhesive, known as metal glue, is applied to the metal before the rubber is baked together with it.

[0025] Adding metal reinforcement to the rubber block body (56) makes the rubber block plug (1) more versatile and capable of being securely mounted in various ways. For example, it can be hung under a table with the socket outlet (25) facing downward or mounted on a wall in a semi-permanent manner. This adds more functionality compared to a standard power strip.

[0026] In some cases, the added metal (39) can extend to align with the outer edge of the side rubber walls (6), (7), (8), and (9), so the rubber does not need to cover the metal on all sides. This adjustment allows for customization based on the user's needs for the socket outlet slot (23) that can accommodate a breaker (24), a wire groove entry (35) is included, making it impractical to drill holes (4) in the side metal (2), as the side walls (6) and (8) may not have enough space to fit a protective plate (5). It would be better to move the hole (4) away from this area, as this position is more suitable for the desired design.

[0027] Figures 1-3 show wide-angle views that separate the components of the rubber block plug (1), with the socket outlet slot (23) being used primarily with the frame (28). Thesefigures also illustrate the use of a combined frame, where the base frame (47) is welded to the frame (28) at the partition plate (43), keeping them within the same frame, allowing for insertion into the same socket outlet slot (23). The combined frame is used to maximize the usage of available space for various devices. In the images, you can see the Wi-Fi smart switch (45) (Model: AP-SMT-BreakerO2-lCH) placed in the base frame (47), which is sized to match the top of the socket outlet slot (23). The frame forms a border around the socket outlet (25) or device, allowing for placement of the device inside. The upper portion of the frame (29) of the base frame (47) has a third protruding spur (302) (part of the same piece) that extends outward to allow the base frame (47) to rest on top of the rubber shoulder (31). This is supported by the supporting base (41) and connected by arms (42) to the upper portion of the frame (29). The partition plate (43) acts as a connection point to close the gap between the devices when used with other frames. In this case, a single-socket outlet (44) is placed in the frame (28), which is welded together to form a single unit with the base frame (47) and inserted into the same socket outlet slot (23).

[0028] Figures 5-7 show wide-angle views that separate the components of the rubber block plug (1), with the breaker slot being precisely sized to accommodate the breaker (24), so it cannot be converted to fit a socket outlet (25). The main frame used here is the lower frame (48), which still follows the principle of frame (28) by placing the weight-bearing tabs (26) on top of the frame (29) and using the cover lid (18) to press down on the tabs (26). In Figure 6, the combined frame is demonstrated again, where the base frame (47) is welded to the lower frame (48) with a partition plate (43) as the connection point, all within the same frame. Additionally, a top beam (49) is added, measuring approximately 2-3 mm in width and 1.5-2 mm in height, placed on top of the frame (49). A pry point (51) of 6 mm in length and 2 mm in width, with a notch running from top to bottom, is also added for the purpose of easily removing the device. The pry point (51) may be optional. The lower part of the lower frame (48) with beveling the lower part (50) to ensure it can fit a bottom-insert socket outlet (53), as the bottom of the socket outlet (54) is larger than the lower frame (48), thus requiring the socket to be inserted from the bottom of this specific frame design. Moreover, the lower frame (48) retains the essential parts of frame (28), serving the same purpose. The lower frame (48) is sized to match the top of the socket outlet slot (23), forming a border around the socket outlet (25) or device, allowing the device to be placed inside. The upper portion of the frame (29) of the lower frame (48) has a second protruding spur (301) (part of the same piece) that extends outward to allow the lower frame (48) to rest on top of the rubber shoulder (31). The addition of the top beam (49) and beveling the lower part (50) ensures proper fitting with thebottom-insert socket outlet (53). To prevent the second protruding spur (301) from detaching from the rubber shoulder (31), a lower beam (55) is added, measuring 2 mm in thickness and 2-3 mm in depth, with a length fitting the short side of the socket outlet slot (23) and extending down from both sides of the lower frame (48), as shown in Figures 5-6. In conclusion, the combined frame shown in Figures 5-7 operates on the same principle as the combined frame in Figures 1-3 but uses the base frame welded to the lower frame (48) due to the different types of devices being used.

[0029] The presence of various frames as shown in Figures 1-7, the rubber plug block (1) is composed of:

[0030] The rubber block body (56) is molded to have side walls (6), (7), (8), (9) on at least one side, and a base (10) connecting the side walls (6), (7), (8), (9). Inside the rubber block body (56), there is a socket outlet slot (23) for placing at least one device, where there is at least one wire entry hole (27) passing from the outside of the rubber block body (56) into the socket outlet slot (23). The rubber shoulder (31) is positioned lower than the rubber block edge (32), and a cover lid (18) is placed on top. Additionally, frame (28), the base frame (47), and a lower frame (48) are included, which can be mixed and matched within the same frame to fit into the same socket outlet slot (23). You can choose whichever frame best suits the application, with at least one frame needed. Furthermore, in the future, it can be developed according to the devices by simply changing the frame, without needing to redesign the rubber block body (56) as long as the device fits within the socket outlet slot (23). The assembly of the power cables is also easier because pulling out frame (28), the base frame (47), and / or the lower frame (48) creates space for routing the wires between each socket outlet slot (23), making it easy to insert and remove the cables. It is evident that the rubber plugs blocks used today do not accommodate the continuously evolving devices. When new devices emerge, the rubber block needs to be redesigned to fit.

[0031] The principle of the first protrusion spur (300) of the frame (28) and the second protruding spur (301) of the lower frame (48) is based on the sequence of pressing from top to bottom as follows: Part 1: Cover lid (18), Part 2: Weight-bearing ears (26), Part 3: The upper portion of the frame (29), or refers to the first protrusion spur (300) and / or the second protruding spur (301), Part 4: Rubber shoulder (31). This sequence ensures that the weight is transferred from top to bottom, securing the devices tightly to the rubber block body (56) using the release screw (22).

[0032] The principle of the third protruding spur (302) of the base frame (47) follows the sequence of pressing from top to bottom as follows: Part 1: Cover lid (18), Part 2: On thedevice when the device is placed in the base frame (47), Part 3 : The upper portion of the frame (29), or refers to the third protruding spur (302), Part 4: Rubber shoulder (31). This sequence ensures that the weight is transferred from top to bottom, securing the devices tightly to the rubber block body (56) using the release screw (22).

[0033] Figure 8 shows a wide-angle view of the components of the power plug rubber block (1) in the long track configuration according to this invention, where the socket outlet (25) is installed along the length, and two positions for the breaker (24) are included. These positions can be changed to accommodate a socket outlet (25) in the socket outlet slot (23).

[0034] Figure 9 shows a wide-angle view of the components of the power plug rubber block (1) in the double-long track configuration according to this invention. The breaker (24) installation positions can be swapped to hold a socket outlet (25).

[0035] Figure 10 shows a wide-angle view of the components of the power plug rubber block (1) in the long track configuration with a cable compartment (33) according to this invention. This shows how the design can be applied to create a central power strip. The cable is first placed in the cable compartment (33), then connected to the terminal (34), and then routed to other breakers (24) within the rubber block (1). Unlike standard rubber blocks that cannot create a cable compartment, this design features a metal reinforcement (39) to add strength and prevent tearing, and it also shows that the breaker (24) installation positions can be switched to accommodate a socket outlet (25).

[0036] As shown in Figures 8-10, the long and large shape of the power plug rubber block (1) could lead to problems such as tearing, twisting, breaking, or bending easily, especially when moved or subjected to impact. Therefore, adding metal reinforcement (39) on the sides (2) and / or the bottom (3) helps to reduce these issues, ensuring the rubber block maintains its shape. This metal reinforcement provides additional protection for the equipment, preventing damage. Maintaining the shape is crucial to ensure that the weight-bearing ears (26) do not detach from the upper portion of the frame (29) and that the upper portion of the frame (29) stays securely attached to the rubber shoulder (31).

[0037] Another variant of the design for the power plug rubber block (1) allows for the use of different materials in the production of the rubber block body (56), particularly materials derived from cable insulation, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

[0038] The selected appearance will be described with reference to the drawings. A person skilled in the art will clearly recognize that this disclosure is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents.
