Abstract:

The present invention disclosed relates to a flexible electrical outlet strip that is comprised of a series of electric receptacles joined by independent ball and socket modules. Each ball and socket module is electrically interconnected with the power source and capable of rotating 360 degrees while maintaining electrical continuity. Each ball and socket connection also provides up to 60 degrees of pivotal movement at each socket joint. A fixed single-axis pivotal hinge joins receptacles to increasing mobility and possible outlet configurations. Combined, these characteristics will enable each electric receptacle to be positioned in a unique configuration to accommodate bulky and odd-shaped plugs and power adapters, conform into flexible shapes and designs for space constrained areas, hang or wrap around objects, and assist with cord management.
