1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a power strip.
2. Description of Related Art
Chargers are used to charge batteries of mobile phones and many other devices. However, when a battery needs to be charged, some people often spend quite amount of time finding the charger, which is undesirable. Furthermore, when people need to go out for a long time, people need to take the charger with him. A novel power strip which can charge batteries for mobile devices is thus needed to solve the above-mentioned issues.
Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
The main body 10 defines a receiving room 12 in a top surface. The receiving room 12 is bound by a bottom wall 120, two opposite sidewalls 100, and two opposite end walls 122 and 124. A recess 14 is defined in an outer surface of each sidewall 100, between the end walls 122 and 124. A cutout 143 communicating with the receiving room 12 and a corresponding one of the recesses 14 is defined in a top of each of the sidewalls 100. An engaging hole 144 is defined in a wall 142 of each recess 14 parallel to the outer surfaces of the sidewalls 100. Two spaced slots 126 each having a semicircular cross-section are defined in the end wall 122, perpendicular to the bottom wall 120 and extending through the top surface of the main body 10 and the bottom wall 120.
The fixing member 20 includes a sliding member 21, a switch 23, and a spring 25.
The sliding member 21 includes a main portion 210, two extension portions 211 extending out from opposite ends of an upper portion of the main portion 210, and two arms 212 perpendicularly extending down from distal ends of the extension portions 211. A wedged-shaped projection 214 protrudes from an inner surface of each arm 212 facing the other arm 212. An antiskid portion 216 is formed on a top surface of the main portion 210. A receiving hole 220 having a blind end is defined in a side of the main portion 210. A pole 222 protrudes out from the blind end of the receiving hole 220.
In assembly, the extension portions 211 are slidably received in the cutouts 143, the arms 212 are slidably received in the corresponding recesses 14, and the projections 214 are slidably engaged in the corresponding engaging holes 144, thereby slidably mounting the sliding member 21 between the end walls 122 and 124. A first end of the spring 25 is fitted around the switch 23 and abuts against the end wall 124, and a second of the spring 25 opposite to the first end is fitted around the pole 222 and received in the receiving hole 220. Therefore, the spring 25 is sandwiched between the end wall 124 and the sliding member 21.
Referring to
In charging another battery having a different size from the battery 30, the insulation portions 116 are rotated in the corresponding slots 126 to move the corresponding pins 114 to be electrically connected to the corresponding battery.
In another embodiment, the trigger 232 can be pushed into the head 230 to turn the power on, and be pushed again to extend out of the head 230 to turn the power off.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the description or sacrificing all of their material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being exemplary embodiments.
