  • Patent number: 9882382
    Abstract: A horizontal electrical power strip device including a built in power plug, one master power outlet and triple slave power outlets controlled independently and simultaneously from each other through a master outlet. A power-sensing device (relay element) is coupled to a switch that allows the slave power outlets to be automatically turned on or off (controlled by the master outlet drawing sufficient current) and having different states simultaneously. Thus when current is being drawn from the master outlet the first slave is switched to an on (closed circuit) state, the second slave is switched to an off (open circuit) state while the third slave stays uninterrupted in an indefinite on (closed circuit) state. Having both simultaneously similar and opposite states of that to the master, the slave outlets offer a wide range of uses from power tools to home appliances including sharing of the same electrical power circuit.
