Multiple embodiments are disclosed including a ground fault interrupted electrical unit outlet that may be controlled by a timer to shut down after batteries have been charged is disclosed and claimed herein. All circuits will subject to ground fault interruption protection and may be subject to surge protection as well. In another embodiment, a lamp with timed charging outlets that shut down when batteries are being charged is disclosed and claimed herein.

A system and method for remotely monitoring, measuring and controlling power to an electrically powered device is disclosed herein. The system preferably comprises an apparatus, an electrically-powered device and a controller. The apparatus preferably comprises a cord, an alternating current outlet socket, an alternating current input plug, an electro-mechanical relay, a processor and a transceiver. The system preferably uses a WiFi communication signal to transmit commands from the remote controller to the apparatus.

The present invention provides a composite-cable relay device that connects individual wiring lines of a composite cable to two or more motor-side connectors included in a motor, the composite-cable relay device including: two or more relay-side connectors that are connected to the respective motor-side connectors; hollow housings that are secured to at least one of the relay-side connectors; a relay cable that possesses flexibility and that connects the hollow housings and the other relay-side connectors, wherein a connecting portion to which the composite cable is connected is provided in the hollow housings, and, in the interior of the hollow housing, wiring to be connected to the relay-side connector secured to the hollow housing and wiring to be connected to the relay cable branch off from each other.

A power distribution system includes a plurality of wires extending between a first end and a second end. The wires extend continuously between the first and second ends. Each wire includes an electrical conductor and an insulation layer. The power distribution system further includes a receptacle selectively positionable at any position along a length of the wires. The power receptacle includes a housing defining at least one power outlet. A plurality of connection members is positioned within the housing. Each connection member includes a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to contact the electrical conductors within the insulation layers of the plurality of wires for electrically connecting the plurality of connection members to the plurality of wires. The second end is configured to electrically connect the plurality of connection members to the at least one power outlet.

This disclosure includes a system and method for integrating a power and lighting system into one component for ease of installation under cabinets or other areas. The wiring may be split at the entrance into the chassis. Continuous power may be maintained at the receptacle locations while also powering the line voltage LED lighting via a control device such as, for example, a slide dimmer.

A tamper resistant electrical receptacle comprises a housing including a cover having at least one plug outlet formed therethrough, the plug outlet configured to receive both line and neutral blades of an electrical plug. The electrical receptacle further comprises electrical contacts positioned within the housing below the at least one plug outlet, the electrical contacts being configured to be connect to AC power. A shutter disposed within the housing between the cover and the electrical contacts is slidable between a closed position blocking access to the electrical contacts through the plug outlet and an open position allowing access to the electrical contacts through the plug outlet, the shutter being biased toward the closed position. The shutter is configured to slide from the closed position to the open position only upon simultaneous insertion of both the line and neutral blades of the electrical plug in the plug outlet.

A combination outlet connector is disclosed. The combination outlet connector includes an outlet core having three T-shaped apertures. The outlet core has a core outer surface to mate with a first connector type, such as a C14 connector, and electrical terminals are positioned in corresponding apertures. A removable adapter sleeve is positionable around the outlet core and has a sleeve outer surface to mate with a second connector type, such as a C20 connector. The adapter sleeve includes a sleeve aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface. The electrical terminals are configured to connect with mating terminals of the first and second connector types. A removable adapter shroud can be positioned around the outlet core. The shroud includes a shroud inner surface to receive the first connector type and a shroud flange having a shroud aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface.

An electrical port device having an electrical port and a cap or cover removable connected to the electrical port having a plug. A Y-shaped electrical cord or cable connects the electrical port to a pair of electrical receptacles. The Y-shaped electrical cord can include one electrical cord or cable section connected to the electrical port, a pair of electrical cord or cable sections connected to the pair of electrical receptacles, and a Y-shaped connector connecting the one electrical cord or cable section and the pair of electrical cord or cable sections. Further, the cap or cover and the electrical port have cooperating sealing surfaces to ensure watertight or waterproof sealing when the cap or cover is installed “on” the electrical port to prevent water or moisture reaching the plug.

A storage compartment is provided. The device includes a housing unit with a door. The housing unit is designed to be concealed within a wall. The housing unit is secured to the wall by a plurality of fasteners. The door is pivotally connected to the housing unit via a plurality of hinges. The door provides access to an interior volume of the housing unit. The door includes more than one spring-loaded latch that secures the door to the housing unit. A plurality of electrical outlets is disposed on the interior walls of the housing unit. A recessed area of the housing unit provides a storage area for electrical cords, surge protectors, and other items. The door includes an aperture that allows for electrical cords within the storage area to be accessed when the door is closed.

A ganged connector assembly includes: a plurality of coaxial connectors, each of the coaxial connectors connected with a respective coaxial cable extending rearwardly therefrom, each of the coaxial connectors including an inner contact and an outer body that is electrically separated from the inner contact; a shell having a plurality of cavities; and a plurality of rear bodies, each of the rear bodies encircling a respective outer body, each of the rear bodies mounted in a respective cavity of the shell. Each of the rear bodies includes a first locking feature. A second locking feature is located in each of the cavities and is fixed relative to the shell. The first and second locking features are configured such that rotation of a first of the plurality of rear bodies relative to the shell moves the first rear body between locked and unlocked positions, wherein in the locked position a respective first connector and respective first cable are secured with the shell within a respective cavity, and in the unlocked position the first connector and first cable can be removed from the shell without removing the remaining connectors and cables.
