ABSTRACT:
An electrical power strip device generally including a) an elongate housing having at least one plug-receiving receptacle formed therein; b) a power supply cord extending from the housing and connectable to an electrical power source to deliver electrical current to said at least one plug receiving receptacle; c) a relay switch wired between said power supply cord and said at least one plug receiving receptacle such that, when said relay switch is closed power will flow from said power cord to said at least one plug receiving receptacle and when said relay switch is open power will not flow from said power cord to said at least one plug receiving receptacle; and, b) apparatus for communicating said relay switch to the primary device such that when the primary device is de-energized said relay switch will open so as to prevent power from reaching the secondary device(s) connected to said plug receiving receptacle(s) and when the primary device is energized the relay switch will close, thereby allowing electrical current from the power source to reach the secondary device(s) connected to the plug receiving receptacle(s) of the electrical power strip device.
