Abstract:
1. A power cord assembly for safely transmitting electric current from an existing power source to an existing electronic device, said power cord assembly comprising: an electrical outlet socket adapted to electrically coupled to the existing power source, said electrical outlet socket having a first group of electro-conductive plates statically affixed to an outer surface thereof; a power cord remaining physically spaced from said electrical outlet socket; an adaptor removably coupled directly to said power cord, said adaptor having a second group of electro-conductive plates statically affixed to an outer surface thereof; wherein said first group of electro-conductive plates are aligned with said second group of electro-conductive plates when said respective outer surfaces of said electrical outlet socket and said adaptor are abutted together; and means for continuously transmitting an electric current from said electrical outlet socket through said adaptor and to said power cord while said first and second groups of electro-conductive plates are abutted against each other; wherein said adaptor remains intermediately positioned between said electrical outlet socket and said power cord during continuous transmission of the electric current to said power cord; wherein said continuous electric current transmitting means comprises: a first magnetic member dynamically seated within said electric outlet socket; and a second magnetic member statically seated within said adaptor; wherein said first and second magnetic members are oppositely polarized and thereby create an attracting magnetic field therebetween such that said first magnetic is linearly reciprocated towards said outer face of said electrical outlet socket when said adaptor is adjoined thereto; wherein said first and second groups of electro-conductive plates remain continuously abutted together when said first magnetic member is linearly displaced away from a resting position and thereby juxtaposed towards said second magnetic member.
