Some embodiments relate generally to the field of electrical installations. In particular, some embodiments relate to an electrical socket device including at least one mechanism for locking and unlocking a corresponding electrical plug. More precisely, some embodiments relate to the electrical sockets and plugs of couplers, such as those defined by International Standard IEC 60320, for example of type C13 and type C19. These (coupler) sockets and plugs are applied or used in particular in a building that has a network, for example of LAN (Local Area Network) type, or in a data center, where several items of electrically powered equipment are installed.

A power distribution connector is configured to connect an electrical cable to at least three electrical interfaces. The connector includes a housing with first and second sections. The first section includes a first electrical interface disposed at a first end of the first section and a second electrical interface disposed at a second end opposite the first end. The second section forms a T-shaped intersection with the first section between the first and second electrical interfaces. The second section includes a distal end opposite the T-shaped intersection, the distal end being configured to receive the electrical cable; and a third electrical interface oriented parallel to the first section, disposed adjacent to the second electrical interface, and extending a distance from an axis of the second section that is less than or equal to a distance from the axis of the second section that the second electrical interface extends.

In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a cabinet having a charging device. The cabinet's housing has a cavity, a door configured both to close to cover the cavity and to open to expose the cavity, and shelves extending horizontally across the cavity. The charging device is positioned within the cavity and includes a housing, a charger for charging an electronic device, a receiving portion configured to hold the electronic device upright, a light source configured to shine through at least a portion of the device housing to illuminate the cavity of the cabinet housing, and an electrical outlet.

A power control device is contained within a housing and has an electric current sensor configured to measure current passing through an electric outlet during a time period, a proximity sensor configured to detect a distance of an object relative to the electric outlet during the time period, a relay switch that can open or close to stop or conduct current through a circuit in the electric outlet in response to a command, and a wireless network interface in communication with the electric current sensor and the proximity sensor, the wireless network interface configured to transmit and receive data from the current sensor and the proximity sensor, to transmit commands to the relay switch, transmit the data to a computing device, and receive commands from the computing device.

The present disclosure is directed to a PDU retention device comprising a rectangular frame having a central cutout portion, a first protrusion extending from the frame into the cutout portion, a guidance fixture permitting the frame to move along a path, and a second protrusion extending from the frame away from the central cutout portion.

The outdoor utility stake is an electric distribution device that is for outdoor use. The outdoor utility stake anchors into the ground. The outdoor utility stake draws electric energy from a national electric grid. The outdoor utility stake distributes electric energy for use by one or more electrically powered devices. The outdoor utility stake forms a protected space that encloses the electric connection between the national electric grid and the outdoor utility stake. The outdoor utility stake comprises a distribution structure and a transfer circuit. The distribution structure contains the transfer circuit. The distribution structure forms the protected space used to form the protected space that encloses the electric connection between the national electric grid and the outdoor utility stake.

A retractable wall mounted electrical connector assembly is mounted to an existing electrical wall socket for charging a battery of a hand held device, and includes an adapter plate with adapter openings for alignment with the support openings of the wall socket, and a perimeter support rim. The cord housing includes a perimeter mating rim that fits with the perimeter support rim of the adapter plate, and a lock for connecting the perimeter mating rim of the cord housing to the perimeter support rim of the adapter plate.

An electrical power unit is positionable in or along a work surface and includes a housing with a movable cover that is positionable in open and closed positions at an upper region of the housing. The cover defines an interior region in which a wireless power transmitter is mounted. A lamp unit is disposed in the housing or the cover. The lamp unit is configured so that emitted light is visible from outside the power unit when the cover is closed. The wireless power transmitter is operable to selectively illuminate the lamp unit when the wireless power transmitter is energized. Optionally, at least one direct-contact electrical or data receptacle is provided at the housing, and may be arranged or positioned so that it is accessible at least when the cover is in the open position.

The electrical box, switch and plug-in mechanism is an revolutionary improved electrical box design, which the newly improved design of the electrical box facilitates prompt and safe installation of the newly designed electrical box, providing ease of installation to the user/installer. The newly improved electrical box, provides a more user/installer friendly environment, reducing installation time and reducing difficulty and/or installment of the electrical box, electrical switches and electrical plug-ins. Which in turn increases safety to the user/installer with replacement of electrical switches, electrical plug-ins and/or electrical boxes. Replacement of existing electrical boxes with the newly improved electrical box design allows the user/installer to easily and quickly replace electrical switch(s) and/or electrical plug-in(s) without touching/interfacing with electrical wiring within the improved electrical box plug-in type design. The newly improved electrical box contains electrical terminals for connection of electrical quick connect plug-in(s) allowing the installer to install/connect the electrical switch(s) or electrical plug-in(s) or other mechanical devices within the electrical box finalizing the electrical circuit connection. Installation of the electrical box plug-in type design increases safety to the user/installer when installing/connecting an electrical switch(s) or electrical plug-in(s), providing safety, quick and easy installation to the user/installer.

Improvements of the newly designed electrical box will not alter operation of current electrical switch(s) and/or electrical plug-in(s), the electrical box reduces exposure to electrical wiring within the electrical box increasing safety to the user/installer. Connectibility of the electrical wiring to the newly designed electrical box eliminates exposure to electrical wiring protecticting the user/installer when installing/connecting electrical switche(s) or electrical plug-in(s) to the electrical box.

Specific design features/improvements are incorporated into the electrical box are unlike the design of conventional electrical boxes. Design features and improvements include: male/female electrical wire receptacle terminals, labeled electrical wiring receptacle terminals, socket head receptacle fastening set screws and threaded electrical wiring
