Abstract

A mount for mounting a touch screen device, such as a tablet computer, to an electrical outlet includes a base for rotatably mounting the touch screen device to the electrical outlet, an electrical plug to be plugged into the electrical outlet and a USB plug to be plugged into a port of the touch screen device. A cover covers at least edges of the touch screen device and the base and the cover hide the electrical outlet. The touch screen device is therefore permanently mounted to and powered by the electrical outlet, yet rotatable into horizontal or vertical positions.

Claims

1. A mount for mounting a touch screen device to an electrical outlet, the mount comprising:

a base for rotatably mounting the touch screen device to the electrical outlet;

an electrical plug to be plugged into the electrical outlet;

a USB plug to be plugged into a port of the touch screen device;

a converter;

a cable connected between said converter and said USB plug;

a plate having one side on which said electrical plug is disposed and another side on which conductors are disposed for connecting said electrical plug to said converter; and

a cover for covering at least edges of the touch screen device;

said base and said cover hiding the electrical outlet.

2. The mount according to claim 1, wherein the touch screen device is a tablet computer.

3. The mount according to claim 1, wherein the electrical outlet is a wall outlet.

4. The mount according to claim 1, which further comprises a tab for covering said conductors.

5. The mount according to claim 1, which further comprises a rotating head disposed between said base and the touch screen device for permitting the touch screen device to be rotated into a horizontal or a vertical position.

6. The mount according to claim 1, which further comprises stops or clamps attached to said base for gripping edges of the touch screen device.

7. A mount for mounting a touch screen device to an electrical outlet, the mount comprising:

a base for rotatably mounting the touch screen device to the electrical outlet;

an electrical plug to be plugged into the electrical outlet;

a USB plug to be plugged into a port of the touch screen device;

a prong or screw to be inserted into a threaded hole of the electrical wall outlet after removing a screw holding a face plate on the electrical wall outlet; and

a cover for covering at least edges of the touch screen device;

said base and said cover hiding the electrical outlet.
