ABSTRACT:
A power switch control unit for controlling the operation of a controlled electric device connected to the unit includes a housing having a timing mechanism therein; a power cord having a plug on one end thereof, for connection to a power supply, and having the housing on the other end thereof, for supplying electrical power to the unit and to a connected-electric device controlled by the power switch control unit, and a receptacle for receiving a power cord from an electric device to be controlled by the power switch control unit; control buttons, including: an on/off button for connecting a controlled electric device to the power supply; a timer activation button for activating the timing mechanism, wherein, when the timing mechanism is activated, it connects a controlled electric device to the power supply for a predetermined amount of time in a timed cycle, and then disconnects the connected-electric device from the power supply; and a clear timer button for terminating the predetermined amount of time, and a display for displaying time remaining in the predetermined period of time.
