Abstract:
1. An electrical outlet strip comprising: a power cord having a proximal end and a distal end, the power cord adapted for receiving a power input at the distal end thereof and conducting it to the proximal end thereof; a base module including a housing fixed to the proximal end of the power cord at a distal end thereof, and including a mutual adjustment means, the base module adapted for conducting power from the power cord through the housing; a plurality of socket modules each including a substantially hollow housing, each socket module including the mutual adjustment means, and at least one socket module including at least one electrical socket electrically interconnected to each next adjacent module, each socket for receiving a power plug and providing power thereto; and an end module including a substantially hollow housing having the mutual adjustment means; whereby each socket module or end module may be pulled away from a collapsed position to its next adjacent module to manually select the distance between adjacent electrical sockets by manually adjusting the contiguous mutual adjustment means while maintaining electrical and mechanical connectivity.
