Patent ID: 7645169

Claim:
A mountable power strip, comprising: (a) first and second arm sections, at least one of the first and second arm sections including a plurality of electrical receptacles; (b) a coupling assembly configured to couple the first and second arm sections together such that the first and second arm sections are configured for rotational movement relative to each other about an axis of the coupling assembly; (c) a handle that extends from the coupling assembly and that is integral with the first arm section; and (d) a lever arm that extends from the coupling assembly and that is integral with the second arm section; (e) wherein the first and second arm sections are configured to transition between, (i) a first configuration, in which the first and second arm sections are oriented in an open position for receipt of an object between the first and second arm sections, and (ii) a second configuration, in which the first and second arm sections are oriented in a closed position, the first and second arm sections being closer to one another than when in the first configuration for clamping engagement with the object; (f) wherein the first and second arm sections are spring biased toward the closed position, the spring-biasing of the arm sections providing a clamping force for mounting the power strip to an object; and (g) wherein the handle has a length that is substantially longer than a length of the lever arm.
