ABSTRACT:
A corner-sitting power strip is provided for overcoming the disadvantages of the existing power strips. Briefly, the present invention is able to operate like a typical power strip and is further configured to sit snugly on a corner. While electrical plugs of appliances and equipment are coupled with the multiple receptacles of the power strip, a base face of the strip housing snugly pushes against one side of the corner, and another base face of the same housing snugly pushes against another side of the corner. At the same time, the dimensions of the housing is designed such that electrical cords of inserted plugs are channeled out from the power strip in a generally parallel fashion either projecting upward against one side of the corner or projecting downward against the other side of the corner. In this manner, in addition to the typical ability to lie flat on a surface as a typical power strip, the space savings, cord management and increased stability advantages of the present invention are also substantively realized.
