Abstract (en)
An electrical socket strip adapted for removably receiving a number of separate electrical appliance plugs and comprising a housing (10) to which is connected a power supply lead (at 15) and several plug sockets (11) on each of two opposed faces of the housing (10). Pivotally folding feet (12) may be deployed to support the strip with its opposed socket faces upright and with the sockets inverted whereby power leads extend upwardly from plugs inserted into the strip thus preventing the leads from trailing across the floor and becoming tangled. The electrical terminal conductor bars within the housing (10) for the respective sockets (11) are offset whereby the pins of plugs inserted into the housing from the opposed faces lie alongside one another in overlapping relationship thus to minimise the depth of the strip. <IMAGE>
