ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLYING DEVICE HAVING A LOWER DECK HOUSING REGION FOR CONTAINING AND CONCEALING A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL POWER ADAPTERS ASSOCIATED WITH A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, AND AN UPPER DECK HOUSING REGION FOR SUPPORTING A RING-LIKE POWER ASSE

摘要

An electrical power supplying device for supplying electrical power to a group of electrical appliances located in an environment. The device includes a power supply cord for plugging into a standard power receptacle by way of a supply power plug, and a base housing portion having a bottom surface and a 3D interior volume. A power-ring subassembly is supported within the base housing portion, has a central aperture defining the boundaries of the 3D interior volume, and is adapted for supporting a plurality of electrical receptacles and one or more electronic circuits, which are electrically connected to a power supply cord. A power-ring housing portion covers the power-ring subassembly and has a set of plug apertures, aligned with the electrical receptacles, and allows appliance power plugs associated with the electrical appliances to plug into the electrical receptacles. A power cord portal allows a group of electrical power cords associated with the group of electrical appliances to enter/exit the 3D interior volume in a bundled manner. A cover housing portion is provided and adapted to cover the central aperture of the power-ring subassembly, and conceal appliance power plugs plugged into said electrical receptacles and appliance power cords associated with the electrical appliances. An appliance power cord management dowel tray is supported within the base housing portion and through at least a portion of the central aperture, and has (i) a tray portion dividing the 3D interior volume into an upper deck region above the tray portion and a lower deck portion disposed below the tray portion, and (ii) a cord management dowel portion projecting from the tray portion and adapted for taking up and managing excess length of appliance power cord associated a plurality of the electrical appliances receiving power from the device.
