| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to an extension cord (14) that includes multiple outlets (32) at spaced apart distances there along. Each power outlet (32) has associated therewith its own circuit breaker which can be a safety-type circuit breaker such as a fuse or a manual circuit breaker such as a switch (38), such that when the circuit is broken either due to excessive current or manually, the electrical connection to the remaining power outlets of the cord is not affected. The present invention is useful both in small-scale applications such as a household for electrical devices such as vacuum cleaners, televisions and other electrical equipment, and also in larger scale environments such as building sites where multiple sockets may be required at spaced apart intervals in order to provide power to electrical devices such as drills and welding machines.</p> |
