(# F-2005) U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,651,365 and 7,810,985. Each of these patented or pending cases relates to a light source with an outlets device(s).

USB charger-related products are also described in the inventor's

(#GGG-2011) U.S. application Ser. No. 13/161,643, filed Jun. 16, 2011 (desk top item with LED means having USB-unit(s) or USB-module(s) to charge other electric or digital-data devices) and

(#FFF-2011) U.S. application Ser. No. 13/117,227, filed May 27, 2011 (universal module has USB-unit(s) and/or outlet-unit(s) for a variety of electric or digital-data device).

The current invention differs from the light devices described in the following prior U.S. patents:

Prior Art 1: U.S. Pat. No. 7,736,033 (Bhart) discloses a lamp base with an electric device recharge receptacle, and in particular an outlet device and a cigarette lighter built on a lamp base. The lamp base includes circuitry that transforms an input AC current into a 12V DC automobile current, output, and further includes a plug-in device that transforms the input 12 VDC current into USB end current (5 Volt). This means that Bhart's device at least needs two expensive circuits/transformers to transform the input 120 VAC wall outlets power supply into a USB 5 VDC output. This is not economical and nobody needs a 12 VDC output for household use. In contrast, the present invention directly transforms an input-end 120 VAC into an output-end 5 VDC, which is more practical than the arrangement disclosed by Bhart.

Prior Art 2: U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011/017703 discloses a rotatable and concealable device which only has an outlet device with manual switch. The input 120 VAC power source is connected directly through a metal piece to deliver 120 VAC to the rotatable & concealable device's receptacles to offer 120 VAC current when another device is plugged into the receptacle. The '703 publication fails to disclose any USB charger concept, circuit, design and application, and so is not related to the current invention.

Prior Art 3: U.S. Pat. No. 7,897,277 (Meyer et al.) discloses a reversible battery cartridge which is used to provide backup power for all kinds of lamp and mainly for power fail application. This has nothing to do with USB ports and USB charger applications, and therefore is totally different from the current invention, which is related to a device having (1) USB ports+(2) USB charging+(3) an outlet supply power source+(4) an LED light and universal lamp base to fit for all kinds of existing lamp bases so as not to occupy any new desk top space because (5) the universal desk base overlays a top of the existing lamp base.

Furthermore, the current invention has (6) an LED light incorporated with the above-listed features (1) (2) (3) (4) and (5), so that it becomes a unique practical universal power station, especially because (7) the current invention can be arranged to not only supply one kind of power to a charger, but also can supply different types of power to different electric or digital-data device(s).

Prior Art 4: U.S. Pat. No. 6,474,823 discloses a laptop computer with a top illumination light. The computer uses a transformer to converting input AC power into 5 Volt DC current for internal use. However, there is no USB charger circuit inside the computer. Instead, the computer's external transformer directly delivers 5 VDC current to the USB port, so the computer system of this patent differs from the charger products of the current invention, which uses an internal USB charger circuit to convert 120 VAC into a 5 VDC USB charging output. As disclosed in this patent, the computer itself has an input-end current of 5 VDC and output-end current at the USB ports that is also 5 VDC so there is no need for a USB charger circuit inside.

Prior Art 5: US 2015/002-8797 Public date Jan. 29, 2015 Miller et. A1 disclosure the portable power charger with power input and power output connection interfaces. The U.S. application Ser. No. 14/220,607 filed on Mar. 20, 2014 which is provision Application No. 61/803,500 filed on Mar. 20, 3013, provision application of 61/865,891 filed on Aug. 14, 2013, both filed date is much later than above listed (FFF-2013) (CCC-2010) (B-2005) (R-2007). So Miller device is invalid filed case.

Prior Art: US 2014/023-2341 Public date Aug. 21, 2014 Ikegami (NEC) for Charging stand which has built-in male-plug for only same female-receiving ports can be charged for only one build-in male-plug. This is not same as current invention and all parent filed cases for universal application which USB ports or hub-ports or other female receiving-ends can fit all be-charged device and its connection-wire's male-plug. Also, the Ikegami '341 filed on Oct. 2, 2012 which is much later than current invention and all parent filed case for much earlier date, so '341 is a invalide patent for desktop charging stand is much later filed date than co-inventor's (# CCC-2010) (# R-2007).

Prior Art: US 2011/008-4651 Caskey et. al Public date Apr. 14, 2011 which U.S. application Ser. No. 12/924,875 filed on Oct. 7, 2010 which is Provisional application No. 61/278,582 filed on Oct. 8, 2009 which is filed on later date than current invention's parent filed case (# CCC-2010) or (#R-2007) which still pending and filed date on 2010 and 2007. Furthermore, Caskey '651 show the wire arrangement for wall mounted USB charger and outlets. The Outlet for Plug-in LED light already disclosure on current invention's parent filed case (R-2007) as above listed details for filed-date, public-date. So Caskey '651 is invalid patent.

Basing on all above discussed and described differences of all prior-arts, the current invention and all parent filed cases are the 1^st invention and also has at least the following advantages:

A. It offers the most convenient way to use USB ports and/or other power outlets and LED units on a desk surface within a hand-reachable distance.

The current invention allows all power stations or products to be installed on the desk top very steadily and overcome the super heavy duty weight of the power cord, which extends from the wall outlet to the power station or products and exerts a pulling as a result of the cord's weight.

The normal design for all marketed extension cords with built-in outlets or additional features such as USB ports, Slim arms of single piece LED source, audio-ports, video-ports, internet-ports, or other electric device's ports is not capable of being put on a desk top because the power-cord's weight is way too heavy and cord's weight will pull off the existing market any extension-cord or power-strip off the desk surface at once. The said cord if the outlet's power cords meet safety authorities' requirement that power cords have to use 10, 12, 14, or 16 gauge wire. Such a very heavy duty cord, which may have different lengths of from 1 foot to 100 feet is impossible to install on a desk top.

Furthermore, In old time that a conventional outlet device does not really need to be put on a desk top because there are too few occasions to plug or unplug the plugs of electric or electronic devices into or from the outlet device. But now, People use laptop and portable phone need to use not only outlet daily while people use laptop at home after they carried from office or other place need use outlet times a day, so it is need outlet can use on desktop.

However, the current invention has built-in USB or-and Outlet or-and other receiving ports or-and LED light device, for which there is a need to connect to the USB or-and Outlet-ports or turn on-off the said LED unit(s) many times per day or at least once a day because of the many devices, such as cellphones, mobile phones, smartphones, iPads, and panel communication or consumer computer devices that need to be charged from USB ports. The current invention offers the most convenient way to put the USB-ports and LED units on the desk top so that people do not need to bend the body and knees to connect a device to a grounded multiple function extension cord or wall mounted USB ports for charging.

This is the major concept for the current and all the parent co-pending invention.

B. The current invention offers a simple way to install a power station or products on a desk surface so that people do not need to bend their body or knee to carry out a charging operation and thereby prevent injury or damage to the human waist and knee.

C. The power station can be adapted to include the unique features described in the inventor's parent or-and co-pending U.S. patent filings in order to supply power to charge the majority of electric, digital-data, audio, video, or internet devices on a desk top without the need to frequently bend the body to or near the ground when connecting to a power source via an outlet or USB port, or making use of an LED unit.

The current invention may also be applied to the following:

(A) a rotating LED light device having outlets or electric receiving sockets as disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/950,017, filed Nov. 19, 2010;

(B) an electrical device having a built-in universal USB-unit(s) and outlet-unit(s), as disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/117,227, filed May 27, 2011;
