Description

Description of an industrial invention entitled:

Multiple socket saves space.

The present invention, applicable in the civil and industrial fields, refers to a type of multiple socket that does not make use of the traditional "T" structure.

The current multi-sockets, with the traditional "T" shape, do not allow to make the best use of any side-by-side sockets connected directly or indirectly to the electricity network, this involves a non-optimal use of potential resources and also the onset of possible inconveniences when the wall socket one or more deviating points (switches) are placed side by side.

The present invention, as it is characterized by the claims, brilliantly solves all the aforesaid problems while adopting a simple, economical and easily reproducible in series technological embodiment. In particular, the use of space-saving multiple sockets makes it possible to optimize the use of all possible configurations with two or more sockets or with switches and sockets side by side.

The space-saving multiple sockets are able to operate like the current multi-sockets on the market and are compatible with all the electrical sockets and plugs currently on the market.

The device, equipped with an external supporting structure and internal electrical and electronic connections, is able to operate as a power strip without being made with the usual "T" shape, so that it can easily be used for connection with side-by-side sockets connected directly or indirectly to the electricity grid. This invention can be equipped with all the mechanical-electronic details necessary to increase its safety and can be easily used both in wall sockets and in multiple "floor" sockets, thus making it possible to use all the sockets side by side. possibly present and can be equipped with all the mechanical-electronic details necessary to increase safety.

In the following, the invention is described in more detail according to an embodiment given for illustrative and non-limiting purposes only with reference to the attached drawings in which:

fig. 1 shows the overall view of a possible conformation of the invention ("Y" shape)

fig. 2 shows the overall view of a possible conformation of the invention ("d" shape)

fig. 3 shows the orthogonal views of the "Y" shape

fig. 4 shows the orthogonal views of the "d" shape

The figures refer to a device equipped with electrical, and possibly electronic, connections contained within the external bearing structure (1) made of suitable material, capable of operating as a multi-socket.

The use of the device is very simple as the external load-bearing structure (1), containing the necessary electrical and possibly electronic connections, is made with shapes that make it possible to complement two or more space-saving multiple sockets or traditional sockets and sockets. multiple saves space. This external support is equipped with the appropriate metal electrodes (3) for connection to the electrical network and the appropriate cavities (2), made according to current safety standards and necessary to connect the external electrical equipment to the electrical network.

In the "Y" -shaped embodiment (10) there are in the front part the appropriate metal electrodes (3) to be inserted in the socket connected directly or indirectly to the electrical network; while in the upper or lower part, depending on how you look at the device, there are the special cavities (2) which represent the inputs for the connection plugs. These inputs are arranged respectively in a position perpendicular to the axis (5) of the metal electrodes and in a position rotated by, an appropriate angle to the right (6) and to the left (4) with respect to the plane orthogonal to the axis of the metal electrodes

The "d" -shaped embodiment (11) has in the front part the appropriate metal electrodes (3) necessary to establish electrical contact with the electrical network; while, positioned respectively on the parallel face (7) to the metal electrodes, on the perpendicular face (8) to the mains socket and on the face inclined at an appropriate angle (9) that connects the parallel face with the one perpendicular to the metal connection electrodes, find the special cavities (2) for the connection plugs of the external electrical devices. In this way, any switch or socket next to the one engaged by the space-saving multiple socket is allowed to be exploited to the fullest.

In the "Y" -shaped construction, compared to the "d" -shaped construction, any sockets positioned to the right and left of the one engaged by the space-saving multiple socket can be used.

While the present invention has been described and illustrated according to some non-limiting embodiments, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that various modifications to the components, structures, electronic and electrical circuits, combinations of the various parts, the organization of the connections are both internal and external and to the whole, can be made without going out of its scope and purpose.
