Patent ID: 8330041

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: (a) a plurality of arm sections, a first arm section of the plurality of arm sections including a plurality of electrical receptacles positioned adjacent each other along an extent of the first arm section; (b) a coupling assembly configured to couple the plurality of arm sections together such that the first arm section and a second arm section of the plurality of arm sections are configured for rotational movement relative to each other about an axis of the coupling assembly, wherein the coupling assembly comprises a fastener that extends through an axial opening defined by an axle portion of one of the first and second arm sections and is attached to the other of the first and second arm sections, the fastener having a circumferential portion that abuts the axle portion and inhibits the fastener from passing completely through the axial opening of the axle portion, whereby the first and second arm sections are coupled to each other for the rotational movement; and (c) a biasing mechanism comprising a spring configured to urge the first arm section in a first rotational direction and the second arm section in a second rotational direction; (d) wherein the first and second arm sections are offset a distance along the axis of the coupling assembly such that the first and second arm sections are configured to transition between, (i) a first configuration, in which the first and second arm sections do not overlap each other when viewed along the axis of the coupling assembly, and (ii) a second configuration, in which the first and second arm sections overlap each other when viewed along the axis of the coupling assembly.
