(50) 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).
(51) 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).
(52) 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).
(53) 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.
(54) 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.
(55) 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.
(56) 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
(57) (2) External AC-to-DC transformer, or
(58) (3) External DC power source by small gauge USB wire or conductive wire;
(59) 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.
(60) 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.

(76) 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).
(77) 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).
(78) 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.
(79) 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).
(80) 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.
(81) 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.
(82) 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.
(83) 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.
(84) 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.
(85) FIG. 6A, shows one preferred embodiment has a geometrically shaped YSB 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).
(86) 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.
(87) 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
(88) (1) a simple USB charger with a small diameter electric wire such as #18 gauge as earlier FIGS. 4, 4B, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C,
(89) (2) a combination of a USB-charger and outlet unit need #14 gauge electric wire go through built-in AC-to-DC circuit,
(90) (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
(91) (4) a combination of units with more than three functions selected from any electric, electronic, or digital data device or internet devices functions.

(115) 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 STORS. 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.
(116) 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 . . . This is Big improvement for all market extension cord. This is biggest improvement for market all extension cord as FIG. 4P (18M9) and FIGS. 14Pm 13P (18M13) shown.
