Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a foldable power strip storage tray, and more particularly, to a power strip storage tray which can accommodate a power strip in an inner space of a storage tray provided to be spaced from a floor, and can have its volume minimized by being folded when not in use.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, a power strip refers to an apparatus that extends a socket to a place requiring power or increases the number of sockets to efficiently supply power to home appliances, and is widely used in households, offices, or factories as the demand for home appliances increases in recent years.

Electric cables of electric devices connected with such a power strip may be tangled and may be difficult to identify, and also, since the power strip is mostly placed on a floor, there may be inconvenience that the power strip should be moved when the floor is cleaned. In addition, there may be inconvenience that the power strip or electric cables are stepped on by a foot and thus are damaged, or power supply to electric devices is suddenly stopped.

As a solution to these problems, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1323013 (registered on Oct. 22, 2013) discloses a power strip device that has a case formed in a cuboid shape, having a front portion opened, and placed on a desk, and can prevent electric cables from being tangled when a socket unit having a plurality of plugs inserted thereinto is placed in an inner space. However, the related-art technology may have inconvenience in that the case formed in the cuboid shape and having the socket unit placed in the inner space thereof occupies a space on an upper side of a desk where a user performs a task, and, when the case is stored separately, it occupies more storage space since it is stored in the form of the cuboid shape.
