Abstract

An organizing device for cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or any other device that uses a plug-in power adapter to an a.c. power supply including a housing with a plurality of adjustable slots for holding and storing the cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other devices and a plurality of receptacles therein which are adapted to receive said devices'"'"' plug-in power adapters. The receptacles are exposed on one surface and the adjustable slots are exposed on a different surface on the same organizing device. The housing is provided with a plurality of electrical outlets and may or may not have a main lighted power switch all of which are disposed on the housing in accessible positions. A main electrical cord connects the electrical receptacles on the housing to a wall socket. The housing also has a plurality of adjustable slots and cut-outs which are designed to route the cables attached to the power adapters to the cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other devices in such a manner that they are somewhat hidden and out of the way. Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or any other devices an organizer that combines a plurality of terminal receptacles with a main power switch, a plurality of adjustable slots for receiving and holding the cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or any other devices as they are being charged, an on/off lighted A/C power switch and a main power cord.

Claims

1. A cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer comprising:

a housing including a substantially planar base and a plurality of receptacles each defining a mouth opening in said housing;

a plurality of electrical outlets mounted to said housing;

a main power switch connected to said electrical outlet for regulating the supply of electrical current to said outlet;

a main power cord connected to said power switch for supplying electrical current from a wall outlet; and

wherein the device receptacles in said housing are adjustable to receive cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other similar devices. These receptacles could also be constructed to have static, non-moveable walls.

2. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of adjustable clamps that could hold cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other similar devices by squeezing the cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other similar devices between these clamps thus holding the cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other similar devices in place while they are being charged.

3. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer according to claim 1, further comprising a non-skid surface that would not require clamps or receptacles to hold cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other similar devices. The cell phones, PDAs, power tools, appliances or other similar devices would simply lie on this non-skid surface while they are being charged.

4. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of cable organizers used to hold the excess cable from the cell phone'"'"'s, PDA'"'"'s, power tools, appliances or other similar device'"'"'s plug-in power adapters

5. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of cable holding notches used to hold the power jacks on the cell phone'"'"'s, PDA'"'"'s, power tool'"'"'s, appliance'"'"'s or other similar device'"'"'s plug-in power adapters.

6. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of cut-outs, slots and holes used to route the cell phone'"'"'s, PDA'"'"'s, power tool'"'"'s, appliance'"'"'s or other similar device'"'"'s cables to keep them partially hidden and out of the way.

7. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer according to claim 1, could also not have a lighted power Off/On switch. It may have only a main power cord which would cause the organizer'"'"'s power to be on as soon as the power cord was plugged into an A/C receptacle.

8. The cell phone, PDA, power tool, appliance or other similar device organizer according to claim 1, could also be a non-powered version which would not have built in electrical receptacles but instead could use other manufacturers power strips to provide power to the cell phone'"'"'s, PDA'"'"'s, power tool'"'"'s, appliance'"'"'s or other similar device'"'"'s plug-in power adapters.
