The current invention has subject matter in common with the inventor's U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/950,017, filed Nov. 29, 2010 (hereafter as #SS-2010), which discloses a multiple surface LED light with a rotating device that exposes LED light device(s), USB devices, and outlets devices built into a rotating substrate with more than one surface to offer multiple functions.


The current invention also has subject matter in common with the inventor's U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/806,285, filed May 31, 2007 (hereafter as #R-2007), which discloses a multiple function LED light device, and the inventor's U.S. Pat. No. 7,318,653 (hereafter as #B-2005CIP of Ser. No. 10/954,189 filed on Oct. 1, 2004), which is directed to a multiple function wall cover (hereafter as #, as well as the inventor's U.S. Pat. No. 7,651,365 (hereafter as #B-05) plug-in rotatable outlets with built-in EL light element and U.S. Pat. No. 7,810,985 (hereafter as #F-05) plug-in non-rotatable plurality of outlets(s) with built-in EL light element. All these patented or pending cases relate to a light source with outlets devices to which the wire arrangement of the current invention may be applied.


Also by the current inventor are U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/161,643, filed Jun. 16, 2011 (hereafter as #GGG-2011), directed to a desk top item with LED means and USB-unit(s) or USB-module(s) to charge other electric or digital-data devices and Ser. No. 13/117,227, filed May 27, 2011 (hereafter as #FFF-2011), directed to a plug-in wall mounted LED night light has built-in outlet(s) with additional USB-unit(s) for a variety of electric or digital-data devices.


The current invention differs from the arrangements disclosed in U.S. prior art at least in the follow respects:


(Prior 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 12VDC 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 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 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 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 5) US 005 008-8834 MILAN


(1-1a) '834 teach a desk workstation,


The present invention relates to a computer desk having a power core base hub including an integrated power source and computer accessories port for connection to peripheral devices located on or within the computer desk.


VS. Current invention the USB power station, do not connect with computer peripheral device.


Current invention only charge communication device such as mobile phone and ipad which has USB charging ports from i-phone 5 date on 2012. So, MILAN unit is not same as current invention.


More particularly, the present invention relates to a computer desk having a power core base hub including an integrated power source for providing power to peripheral devices located on or within the computer desk, and for providing a stepped down power source to a USB hub board located within the power core base hub, and a plurality of USB communication ports on the USB hub board for interconnecting peripheral devices located on or within the computer desk to a computer.


V.S. current invention, the USB ports is Type A or Type C male plug of JUMP USB wire which other end is micro-USB or lightning (Apple company) which is not available on '834 filed date on 2004. '834 on 2004 has no any idea for USB wires with 2 different male plug to charger other product(s).


Currently, computer technology has become more advanced with an increasing number of computers related peripheral devices to assist a computer user. Since peripheral devices interface with the operating system of the computer, it is advantageous for the computer and the peripheral devices to be proximity to one another for accessibility purposes for the computer user. A universal serial bus (USB) is a universal communication standard for connecting and communicating various peripheral devices to a computer. The USB allows the transfer of data between the computer and the peripheral devices. The USB further allows peripheral devices to be added without requiring add-in cards, dip switch settings, IRQ's and the like. Peripheral devices using the USB may be plugged in and implemented immediately. The USB detects the peripheral devices set up on the system and configures the software to operate the peripheral device automatically without having to restart your computer. The USB connects multiple peripheral devices to the computer through use of USB ports on the back of the computer (usually two per PC) or a USE hub may be added to the system to connect (i.e. daisy chain) multiple peripheral devices together. Examples of devices that are used with the USB connection include a keyboard, a mouse, a scanner, a joystick and a digital camera. The USB is also capable of sensing the power that is required to operate the peripheral device and can supply the required power to the peripheral device.


VS. Current invention,

    • (1) USB power station do not have any data transfer and Not related to any computer peripheral device(s).
    • (2) '834 workstation plurality of USB connects multiple peripheral device to the computer . . . Not same as current invention the USB power station is connect with external transformer to get 5 Volt DC current minimum 2.4 Amp to 20 Amp to share with at least one of built-in or separated USB power station which has at least one of USB-port(s). So, '834 is only connects with computer peripheral device for data transfer purpose.
    • (3) The '834 USB also capable to power the required power to the peripheral device from computer. VS current invention, the year 2004 '834 get power from computer output USB only can get Maximum 0.5 A to all computer peripheral device(s) that is enough for date transfer. The current invention is to charge the i-phone or i-pad or communication device need at least 2.4 Amp so can charge only one i-pad. If would like to charge more than one i-phone or i-pad need more than 3.4 Amp from at least one separated USB power station(s). The current invention has at least one of power station(s) and each had its own wire arrangement to connect or to assemble with the external transformer to get each of separated or built-in power station(s) inner at least USB port(s).



FIG. 2 shows the internal circuitry of the power core base hub 32. The power core base hub 32 includes a power board 38 and a USB hub board 40 encased within a single enclosure housing 36. The housing 36 is preferably made of plastic, but can be made of any type of material suitable to house the electrical components. A heat shield 42 separates the power board 38 from the USB hub board 40 so as to minimize the effects of the heat generated by the electrical power components of the power board 38. A power-in cord 44 is electrically attached to the power board 38 for receiving a power source (i.e. high voltage, alternating current 120V) from a main power supply such as an electrical wall outlet. The power board 38 may include a transformer for stepping down the power from a high voltage source to a low voltage source and an AC to DC converter for converting the stepped down power source from an alternating current power source to a direct current power source. The main power board may also include one or more circuits prior to the AC to DC converter and transformer for providing the 120 VAC source to any computer accessory devices requiring the 120 VAC source (i.e. CPU unit, video screen, printer, fax, or copier). A surge protector may also be incorporated in the power board 38 to shut down the power provided to any devices electrically attached to the power core base hub 32 in the event of a power surge or an overload on the main circuit of the main power supply.


V.S. current invention:


(1) '834 has built-in AC to DC transformer, current invention has external transformer to supply DC power from outside for at least one or plurality of separated desk top USB power station(s) with desired numbers of USB charging port(s) only to deliver DC power without transfer the data(s).


(2) '834 had one or more circuit PRIOR to the AC-to-DC circuit to transformer to supply other AC operated device . . . The current invention do not have such concept.


(3) '834 all USB is belonging to USB HUB has at least 2 electric poles and 2 data delivery conductive-piece(s) which is not same as current invention for CHARGING purpose USB which only has (+) and (−) electrical pole(s) basing on the definition. So, basically the HUB and Charging USB are totally different on electric construction, theory, application, concepts.


(4) '834 all HUB USB only can apply for the computer its peripheral device(s) for data transfer or supply max. 500 ma current to these peripheral device(s). Because too low output power so not able to use for current invention for quickly charger minimum for 5 Volt 2.4 Amp or up to 20 Amp.


CONCLUSION: The '834 is totally different with current invention for any aspects.

No. 13/962,627 filed on Aug. 8, 2013 Quirky shown the outlet device has transforming shape and construction is much later than current invention inventor's earlier and still pending case


U.S. application Ser. No. 12,938,628 filed on Nov. 3, 2010 (hereafter as #UU-2010) has both the transforming construction for outlet from T-shape to I-shape. The also, the co-pending filing


U.S. application Ser. No. 13/17,227 Filed on May 27, 2011 (hereafter #FFF) also disclosure the USB and Outlet device on wall mounted and desk top device on FIGS. Furthermore, the

U.S. application Ser. No. 12/149,963 Filed on May 12, 2008 (hereafter as #Z-2008).


All these inventor's co-pending or earlier filed cases still pending so all these concepts for 1st invention filed the LED(s) and Outlet(s) earlier than 2006 and added USB charger filed earlier then 2010 before i-phone and i-pad with USB-port(s) from i-phone 5 on 2012. The current invention is Division and/or Continue and/or CIP for LED and outlet with additional USB Charger, Power station with LED(s) or-and outlet or-and USB unit should be still fall within the current filing and parent claims. On other the Qirky any later filed cases should become invalid for copy the current co-inventor parent filing spirits.


Further, The current filing case is CIP of the Above list for (#GGG) family for desktop USB applications only difference is current invention has all the Wire arrangements and lack of the LED light install on arms or stand or pole which let people can have higher level of light source. The current invention also lacks the audio related functions.


Because of the above-described differences, the current invention 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 of the power cord, which extends from the wall outlet to the power station or product and exerts a pulling force 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, audio-ports, video-ports, internet-ports, or other electric's ports is not capable of being put on a desk top because the power-cord's weight is way too heavy if the outlet's power cords meet safety authorities' requirement that power cords 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 desktop. Furthermore, such a conventional outlet device does not really need to be put on a desktop because there are too few occasions to plug or unplug the plugs of electric or electronic devices into or from the outlet device. However, the current invention has built-in USB ports or LED light devices, for which there is a need to connect to the USB-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, I-Pads, and panel communication or consumer computer devices that need to be charged from USB ports. The current invention offers the most continent to put the USB-ports and LED units on


the desk top to prevent from people bend the body and knee down to connect the grounded multiple function extension cord or wall mounted USB ports, The current invention offers the most convenient way for people to get power from built-in outlets or USB ports and also provide functions of built-in LED units just on a desk top. This is a major concept for the current invention.


B. The current invention offers a simple way to install a power station or products on a desk surface so that there is no need for people to bend their body or knee to a lower position in order to obtain charging and prevent injury or damage to the human waist and knee. Furthermore, the current invention one power station circuit to supply more than one of USB-unit(s) which separated with other housing of USB-unit(s) and each of separated USB-unit(s) has its own branch-wire to connect with the power source which is one of (1) Plug-in wall transformer, or (2) external DC power source, (3) Main power station has built-in AC-to-DC circuit to output pre-determined DC current for USB-port(s) built-in more than one of the USB-unit(s) which get power by branch-wire(s) with or without connector, quickly connectors, wired kits.


Furthermore, the separated USB-unit(s) (18FIG. 4) of USB power station system. The output main-wire and branch-wire(s) is one of


(aa) DC power from branch-wires and main output wire (172) by USB-plug, or


(bb) DC power from branch-wires and main output-wire (171) by external AC-to-DC circuit or transformer, or


(cc) DC power from branch-wires and main output-wire (71) from AC-to-DC circuit built-in of desktop power station.


It is appreciated all these wire arrangements for output main-wire and plurality of branch-wire(s) with preferred length so can have only one power station with many individual housing USB-unit(s) to put on many different locations to save people money.


The said plurality separated individual USB-units has its preferred length so can have one power station on living room and put separated individual USB-unit(s) on different desk or table or couch or seat to offer each seated person to charge their i-phone or i-pad as the earlier (#FFF-2011) FIGS. shown the more than one USB-unit(s) connect with USB-plug or external transformer or AC-plug power station circuit.


It is appreciated all the other US prior arts which filed before 2010 is not able to supply USB output current higher than 1.0 Amp because USB 3.0 which can supply bigger current up to 2 Amp announced on 2010. Also, I-phone and I-pad applied Type A to get power and input DC power from Micro-USB, Type C is start from 2012 of i-phone 5 on 2012. Majority power station or desktop items has the USB charger which 100% is male-plug to directly connect with be-charge other phone before 2012, even i-phone 1 to 4 use the 30 pins female receiving port, and other phone use different female receiving port(s). Hence, any patent filed before 2010 is not proper US prior art again the current invention (#FFF-2011) and (#GGG-2011) filed case products has FEMALE receiving port(s) which is male-plug of TYPE A of external outside one end of USB-wire. Other at least one of male USB-plug is one of micro-USB, or others which matching the be-charged products female receiving port(s).


C. The power station of the invention can be adapted to include the unique features described in the inventor's 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 an outlet or USB port, or making use of an LED unit. Wherein, the charging or DC current delivery between desktop USB power station itself or branched USB-unit(s) to be-charged products by external USB-wire(s) which has at least two end(s) with at least one of male-plug(s) on each one end.


This is not same as all Desktop items with USB charger before inventor earlier and parent filed case. Those out-of-date USB charger device for built-in or added-on has MALE PLUG which matching all kind of different FEMALE receiving port(s) of NOKIA, ERICSON, SONY, MOTOROLA and each of them with different FEMALE receiving ports so not good for universal until 2012 i-phone 5 start to incorporate with external USB wire has 2 ends at least one end is Type A to get power and other end is preferred female receiving ports, so only need have right USB wire, the said Desktop or Wall mounted USB charge can have uniform have Type A USB-Female receiving ports to get universal products.


The current invention may also be applied to the following:


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

The current invention is related to the power station having built-in LED units and a USB charger disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/863,073, filed Apr. 15, 2013.


From above list the (#GGG) and (#FFF) and (#RRR) and (#SSS) and (#TTT) these co-pending and earlier filed parent filing cases, already had very details description for how to work for the USB Outlet and Outlet device. It appreciated all the co-pending or earlier filed family filed cases all the concept, text, drawing, spirits, claims, drawing, illustration should still fall within the current invention and co-pending and patents claims scopes.


Further, the current invention also related to the outlets incorporate with USB port so all the above listed (#HHH-2011) (#RR-2010) and others earlier and still pending case (#UU-2010) should be still be treated as parent filing case and this invention should be continuously filing case for above list (#UU-2010) (#RR-2010) (#HHH-2011).



FIG. 1 shows a wire arrangement for plug-in LED night light has at least one LED(s) and USB port(s) and optional outlet(s) related products or for a USB charger. The said Plug-in LED night is fit within the built-in or added on storage-wire arrangement (1) and said LED night light (not shown) has at least one LED(s) to offer area or status indicator light as inventor parent filed case(s). The said built-in or added-on wire-storage arrangement have at least one hold-means (1) with cut-outs (2), as illustrated in greater detail in FIGS. 3A to 3D. In this arrangement, a wire (3) is positioned in a continuous groove (4) and exits the arrangement through cut-outs (2).


The desk top USB charger may include any combination of a USB-charger(s), outlet(s), LED-unit(s), sensor means, switch means, remote-means(s), motion means, and/or other electric device(s).



FIG. 2 shows a USB charger having 3 AC outlets 6 side-by-side and 2 sets of 2 USB charging ports 2 with a wire arrangement means inside the base (8) to be installed on a desk's surface(s) at a hand-reachable location(s).



FIG. 2 also shows a second embodiment having (4) outlets (10) and 3 USB-charging ports (11) with a wire-arrangement in the base (8) to adjust the wire length as needed from the base to power source, so that even heavy gauge wire will not make a mess when installed on the desk surface, so people can connect equipment with a charger or power source without the need to bend the body because the charger or power source is on the desk top at a hand-reachable location that is most convenient rather than at a lower location or on the floor, which will harm an aged person's waist and knee to cause thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars for medical surgery.


As shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3C, at least one of the output openings or cut-outs (2) for the wire (3) can be cut-out at an angle, as indicated by reference numeral (2′) in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3D, so that the wire will not be bent at too great an angle and thereby prevent damage to the wire's inner conductive means. The angle for the cut-outs can each be 60 degrees or 30 degrees depending on requirements. The cut-outs can extend from the edge to inner walls so as to let people hold the wire at any location along a continuous groove, ditch, or channel at any near-by cut-out location.


As shown in FIG. 3B, the walls can have any number of cut-outs (2) or (2′) at the output-end at any location along the continuous groove, ditch, channel, or gaps (4) to allow the wire to come out at any location preferred by people. The narrow cutout's output-end can tightly hold a USB wire with a desired angle so that no harm occurs to the USB wire. The FIG. 3-2 shows only the USB-plug (14) of the USB wire, the other end being connected to a device such as an iPhone, HTC phone, Samsung phone, China mobile phone, flat-panel device, computer device, audio device, video device, or any other USB chargeable device. The ditch, groove, or channel (4) is preferably a continuous arrangement so that sections of the wire (3) do not overlay each other. If the wire arrangement means is not a continuous design, the wire will overlay or underlay when people coil it. However, this over lay or underlay will still fall within the current invention scope. In addition, the wire arrangement means can be made of a soft gel, in which case it can be fitted over a USE-charger so that the charger is positioned with a central compartment 15 within the wire arrangement, and the continuous groove (4) and cutouts (2) or (2′) can be dimensioned to tightly hold the wire in place.



FIG. 4 shows a device having only 2 USB ports (16) without an AC power source outlet(s), so that can be powered by at least one (1) AC-plug wire to get AC power and connect device built-in AC-to-DC circuit, or


(2) External AC-to-DC transformer, or


(3) External DC power source by small gauge USB wire or conductive wire;



FIG. 4 show one of preferred USB device has AC-plug (17) power input wire (174) to supply AC power to the USB-charger. This kind of USB charger may be installed on a desktop or other surface at a hand-reachable location using traditional attachment kits such as glue, double sided tape, Velcro tape, catches, hooks, screws, a suction cup, magnetic-means, catch-means, hold-kits, heavy-unit(s), catch-holder sets, or any other attachment kits or fixing-sets; to enable easy use of the USB charger within the hand reachable distance such as desktop or table wall or table legs or bed walls or bed legs.


While the USB device has any number of built-in AC outlet(s), it needs to use heavy duty electric cord such as #14 gauge and very good attachment device or kits so can hold the USB device having outlets on the desktop or other surface. The good attachment enough to overcome the very heavy weight of the #14-gauge wire. The USB device may has storage-wire arrangement to hold, store, coil, receive, release, pull, twist, extend, fold, and/or retract a wire by a spring, elastic, roller, or rotating means to cause the wire to be well arranged to achieve pre-designed requirements, performance, functions, or effects. Same as storage wire-arrangement, the device optional having at least one (a) space or construction or electric system to arrange be-charged products fit within the space of USB device, or (b) space to offer be-charged product can be charged by wireless charging system.

From FIG. 4B also show all main-wire or branch-wire no need use #14 gauge AC wire because it only carry the DC current, so for the Desktop or floor lighting or USB device without AC-outlet(s) it can use #18 gauge wire so can save a lot of cost.


It is appreciated all these power-wire arrangements including output main-wire and plurality of branch-wire(s) with preferred length; these power-wire(s) arrangement only for one USB device or power station, so the current invention only need one USB device or power station can supply DC power to many individual USB-unit(s) to put on many different locations to save people money.


The said plurality separated individual USB-units has its preferred length so can have one power station on living room and put separated individual USB-unit(s) on different desk or bed side wall, side bed table, bed frame, couch, floor lamp surface, pole, bar, stand, or seat to offer person to charge their i-phone or i-pad as the earlier (#FFF-2011) FIG. 4A shown the more than one USB-unit(s) (18) connect with USB-plug (172) or external transformer (171) or AC-plug USB device or power station (173) built-in AC-to-DC and other circuit (173).


It is appreciated all the other US prior arts which filed before 2010 is not able to supply USB output current higher than 1.0 Amp because USB 3.0 which can supply bigger current up to 2 Amp announced on 2010 as above listed inventor parent filed case details description for Wikipedia reports of (#GGG-5) (#GGG-6) (#GGG-7) (#GGG-8) (#GGG-9) (#GGG-11).


Also, i-phone and i-pad applied Type A to get power and input DC power from Micro-USB, Type C is start from 2012 for i-phone 5 on 2012.


Majority US prior arts for power station or desktop items has the built-in USB charger which all built-in USB charger is one of male-plug to directly insert the MALE plug into the be-charge products FEMALE receiving port(s) before 2012. This is totally different with current invention the USB device has FEMALE RECEIVING PORT(s) to receiving MALE-PLUG of SEPARATED USB-JUMP-WIRE HAVING AT LEAST TWO MALE-PLUGS. Furthermore, even i-phone 1 to 4 the phone receiving-port is one of 30 pins female receiving-port, and other phone use different female receiving port(s). Hence, any patent filed before 2010 belong to none proper US prior art VS. the current invention (#FFF-2011) and (#GGG-2011) filed case products has FEMALE receiving port(s) which is male-plug of TYPE A of external outside one end of USB-wire. Other at least one of male USB-plug is one of micro-USB, or others which matching the be-charged products female receiving port(s).



FIG. 5 shows one of preferred USB device having wire-storage arrangement and 3 USB ports in a flat and thin USB device, the AC power input wire (172) being coiled or wrapped under the bottom of the round flat and thin USB charger unit. The round flat and thin unit can be put under base of another existing desktop device, such as a desk-lamp base, coffee cup base, coffee machine base, ashtray base, beverage cup base, phone base, calculator base, medicine bottle base, or other bottle or container base so that the round flat and thin USB charger will not occupy a new space to take away from the limited desk top space. The wire can be coiled or wrapped under the USB-charger unit base, within the housing, or within the walls as described below. The wire arrangement means may have parts and accessories to hold store, coil, receive, release, pull, twist, extend, fold, or retract the wire by a spring, elastic, roller or rotating means to cause the wire or receiving-end(s) of the wire to be well arranged for use in connection with pre-designed requirements, performances, functions, or effects. Since the USE-charger related products do not have AC outlets, LED-units, or other electric function devices built-in, the input AC power wire can be smaller than required for an AC power outlet device.


As shown in FIGS. 5, 5A show top and bottom view of one preferred power-wire and storage-wire arrangement USB device, the device have a round and thin housing (20) with two Type-A USB ports (25) with a central island-shaped wire arrangement mechanism (21), which can easily coil or wrap the power source main-wire within a space, gap room, or compartment (22). The island-shaped wire arrangement mechanism located on bottom of device to stop the wire from falling out from the space, gap, room, or compartment (22). The island-shaped wire arrangement mechanism allows the wire's length to easily be seen when the wire is inside the space. The output-end of the wire arrangement means has a cutout (24), so enable the flat and thin USB-charger or USB-unit to be installed on any surface.


The USB charger or USB device has built-in outlet(s) or USB-charger and another function device(s) may be round or have any desired geometric shape without departing from the scope of the current invention. Because the USB-charger or USB device related products of FIGS. 5 and 5A only has USB ports (25) without other outlets, LED-units, or other electric function devices, the built-in AC input power wire can be smaller than required for a device with AC output power requirements.


As shown in FIG. 5B, the storage-wire arrangement on the bottom of unit includes a center pole 26 around which the wire is coiled or wrapped, and a built-in three island-shaped mechanism's cover or roof 23 to stop power source main-wire 171 from falling from base. A wire output-end with cut-outs (24) has a hold-function to hold the wire in position. The USB device or USB charger has a predetermined built-in heavy weight, suction cup, magnetic means, double sided foam tape, Velcro tape, screw, base, or other attachment or fixing-means to secure the round flat and thin USB charger unit in a position without being moved and make a nice and neat wire-storage arrangement from an AC power source to supply a desired current from 1.0 A up to 50 A or more from the USB-ports (25), which is not possible to obtain from any existing device such as a laptop computer's USB ports, whose USB belong to USB 2.0 not USB 3.0 standard so before 2010 all USB charger or USB device can only supply 0.5 A or a maximum of below 1.0 A current. The current invention's USB charger can have a higher output of more than 1.0 Amp up to 50 Amps or more depending on market requirements. Because the USB-charger or USB-device related product of FIG. 5B only has USB ports (25) and no AC outlets, LED-units, or other electric function device(s) built-in, so the USB device no need to get the AC-plug to get AC current with very expensive #14 gauge wire. The USB device only have USB-port(s) the input wire can use #18 gauge which smaller than would be required for USB device have built-in AC outlets or AC devices with higher power requirements were included. And #14 gauge AC wire is a super expensive cost.



FIG. 5C shows the preferred USB-charger or USB device in the form of a round-flat unit which can underlay any existing desktop items or device, and this arrangement have to have a flat top surface so this underlay arrangement does not need to occupy any additional desktop space. As shown in FIG. 5C, the USB-charger related product only has USB ports (25) without any additional outlets, LED-units, or other electric function device(s), so the USB device (20) can incorporated with external transformer (TRF) to supply DC power through output main-wire (171) which less expensive than AC outlet device needed #14 gauge wire.



FIG. 6A, shows one preferred embodiment has a geometrically shaped USB device or USB charger having both USB-ports (29) and built-in AC outlets (28) which is different with earlier FIGS. 4, 4B, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C only have USB-port(s), so FIG. 6 need a heavy duty electric cord. The heavy #14 gauge wire its cord's weight very heavy to pull on and move the unit in the absence of attachment means to fix the unit at a desired location. The attachment means may include a heavy weight, magnetic means, glue, double sided foam tape, screws, a catch-n-hook fastener, Velcro means, or other market-available skills or materials as FIG. 12A show some of preferred attachment kit(s).


From FIGS. 6 and 6B show the current invention for Desktop or floor light or USB device which has built-in AC-outlet(s) so it need get AC power from the AC-Plug Wire which is very heavy and very costly, so the current invention use a very short length for this expensive wire such as only 1 to 2 feet which is enough to let device connect with home wall outlet and lay on the ground or lower position. But, use a very long #18 gauge wire from the said Desktop or floor light device or USB device so can let USB-unit(s) to put on room at least one on desktop or floor+ one on side-bed table, or one on bed-wall, or one on bed-frame, or one on bed-legs, or one on anywhere; These desktop or floor lighting or USB-device or extension cord can fix or attached or install on the anywhere while people use FIG. 12 preferred attachment kits. The FIG. 12 attachment kits also have details discussion on following drawings.


The geometrically shaped unit is illustrated as a FIG. 6, the round flat and thin unit having interior magnetic and heavy weight pieces to overcome pulling force exerted by the heavy duty #14 gauge AC electric cord, which is required by some safety authorities to be #14 gauge, although the gauge may be variable based on safety requirements for different applications and countries. The preferred round flat and thin unit is designed to underlay any items put on top of it because it is thin, flat, and water resistant, and all receiving USB-ports or outlets ports are on a side with a nice slope so that anything can be put on top and there is no need for any new space on the desktop when using the current invention's unit, which may be


(1) a simple USB charger with a small diameter electric wire such as #18 gauge as earlier FIGS. 4, 4B, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C,


(2) a combination of a USB-charger and outlet unit need #14 gauge electric wire go through built-in AC-to-DC circuit,


(3) a combination of a USB-charger, outlet unit, and LED-unit need #14 gauge electric wire go through built-in AC-to-DC circuit, or


(4) a combination of units with more than three functions selected from any electric, electronic, or digital data device or internet devices functions.

From FIG. 4P can see the AC plug-wire (336W) is very short which can be just same length for home outlet location to ground which approximately 30-45 cm (1 to 1.5 feet). So, the AC plug wire (336W) can only use Max. 45 cm (1.5 feet) can let extension cord (18M9) flat lay down on ground and AC-plug (336) can safety and never been pull out by its heavy weight AC-wire (226W). This super short AC wire length (336W) is not existing at marketplace. All marketplace at least 3 feet or 6 feet for power strip sold at DOLLAR CHAIN STORE. So, current invention made a big improvement to shorten the very expensive AC-wire (336W) to shortest length which enough to let power strip lay down ground. The power strip (18M9) use much longer cheap #18 gauge wire for output main-wire and branch wire(s) so can let laydown ground power strip (18M9) DC power delivery to not only one for desktop or floor light device or other electric device or USB device but also has plurality of separated USB-unit(s) can from same power strip DC output wires of #18 gauge to install desired number of USB-unit(s) on anywhere including wall, legs, top surface(s) of room furniture(s), side-table, closet(s), cabinet(s), chair(s), bed-frame, bed-walls, bed-legs, working table, couch, sofa, seat by FIG. 12 preferred attachment kits.



FIG. 4P and FIGS. 14P, 14P had same concept to use most shortage length such as 45 cm (1.5 Feet) to save the very expensive and very heavy #14 gauge wire cost and let Power strip (18M9) and (18M13) to lay on ground, and use super long length of cheap #18 gauge or safety authorities approval #20, #22 or other # gauge wire to have at least one or plurality of separated distance away USB-unit(s) with build-in USB-port(s) on many different location where people work, rest, sleep, watch TV from one of the said Power strip (18M9 of FIG. 4P) or (18M13 of FIG. 13P, 14P). Hence, the current invention to make big improvement for market all power strip with build-in USB-port(s) on the power strip body which is bad idea because power strip need use #14 gauge wire so heavy so can not stay on desktop or top of any surface because (1) too heavy for #14 gauge wires and (2) too ugly for the power strip, and (3) Power strips received more than one AC operated products to add more #14 gauge wired weight so it only can lay on ground . . . however, The market all kind of power strip have built-in USB port(s) on extension cord in order to offer easily handle or plug-in AC-plug of be-supplier power device(s), so people add more length for #14 gauge AC-wire, so can not make cheaper cost. The current invention on contrary to reduce the length of #14\gauge AC-wire from Dollar Chain stores 6 feet to 1.5 feet to save money. Also, the current invention offers more than one or plurality of separated distance away many USB-port(s) is located on any locations people will stay, work, reading, rest, sleeping . . . This is big improvement for all market extension cord and power strips still need bend the body to plug the USB-wire and only one location near the power strip less than 1 Meter (3 feet) because Apple all USB wire only is 1 meter 3 feet . . . Hence, the current invention not only supply super low cost extension cord (because shorten #14 gauge wire to 1.5 feet) and also supply more than on separated location(s) and distance away for many USB-unit(s) having built-in USB-port from only one extension cord . . .
