ABSTRACT:
A power strip with adjustable cord includes an electrical cord for carrying electrical power having a first end including a plug for insertion into an electrical outlet and a second end including a power strip body having a first side including elevated end portions and a depressed central portion, a second side, and a perimetral edge member joining the first and second sides. The central depressed portion of the first side includes a plurality of electrical outlets for distributing electrical power therefrom divided into at least one unswitched outlet and at least one switched outlet, and a switch for switching power off and on to the at least one switched outlet. A groove in the perimetral edge member extends around most of the body for adjusting the fully extended length of the electrical cord, the groove being defined in part by generally parallel side walls spaced apart from each other by a distance about equal to a diameter of the cord, and by an inner wall spaced inwardly by a distance about equal to a diameter of the cord. Nubs are provided on the edges of the first and second sides for retaining at least a portion of the electrical cord in the groove. This permits the length of the cord to be adjusted to any desired length.
