Description

Multi-tap with vertical extension of the plug position}

The present invention relates to a multi-tap that extends up and down at a plug position, and more particularly, a plug connection part is rotatable by 360°, and two or more plug insertion parts capable of adjusting the position up and down are combined. It is about a multi-tap extending up and down at the location of the plug where the outlet can be used.

A multi-tap is a device that allows multiple plugs to be connected to one outlet, and has the advantage of being convenient because it can be used by connecting multiple plugs to one multi-tap. However, in the existing multi-tap, since the multi-tap is manufactured and sold in units of a certain length, to provide power to a desired location, several multi-taps must be connected and used. .

In order to solve the problem of space utilization of the existing multi-tap, 'No. 10-2016-0016559 (2016. 02. 15); The 'movable and expandable bar type multi-tab' was devised. It is a movable and expandable bar-type multi-tap that can install an outlet device on a wall or a simple screen to provide power by conveniently arranging an outlet at a user's desired location and minimize exposed wires.

This is efficient in space utilization as the multi-tap moves left and right to provide power to the desired place, but it did not solve the inconvenience caused by the large or unusual shape of the plug head of the existing multi-tap, taking up a seat in the nearby outlet.

In this regard, Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0084459 (2015. 07. 22) relating to a multi-tap; There is a 'rotating multi-tap'. This is to use the multi-tap efficiently by preventing interference from a nearby plug by rotating the plug when inserting a plug into the multi-tap. However, the existing technology has a problem in that it cannot completely solve the inconvenience caused by interference from a plug located nearby depending on the size and shape of the plug because there is a limit to the rotation of the plug.
