Abstract

A portable surge protected remote power distribution system for delivering electrical power to an area of a venue comprises a moveable cart assembly and a surge protector mounted on the cart assembly. The surge protector has a first electrical cord adapted to be electrically connected to a source of electrical energy at the venue. At least one retractable houses a second electrical cord, and the reel is mounted on the cart assembly. Each second cord has a predetermined length, and one end of each second cord is adapted to extend to a point in the venue at a predetermined distance from said cart assembly substantially equal to the predetermined length of each second cord. A second end of each second cord is electrically connected to the surge protector. At least one power strip is removably mounted on the cart assembly, and one end of each second cord of the self retractable reel is electrically connected to a power strip, each power strip having a socket adapted to electrically connect with an electrically powered device.

Claims

1. A portable surge protected remote power distribution system for delivering electrical power to an area of a venue, comprising:

a moveable cart assembly;

a surge protector mounted on the cart assembly the surge protector including a first electrical cord adapted to be electrically connected to a source of electrical energy at the venue;

at least one retractable reel of a second electrical cord, said reel mounted on the cart assembly, each said second cord having a predetermined length;

one end of each second cord adapted to extend to a point in the venue at a predetermined, distance from said cart assembly substantially equal to said predetermined length of each second cord;

a second end of each second cord electrically connected to said surge protector;

at least one power strip removably mounted on the cart assembly, said one end of each second cord of said self retractable reel electrically connected to at least one power strip, each power strip having at least one socket adapted to electrically connect with at least one electrically powered device.

2. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 1, wherein said cart assembly includes a platform, and said at least one self-retractable reel is mounted on said platform.

3. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 1, wherein the surge protect includes a plurality of electrically outlet sockets;

and the second end of each said second cord is electrically connected to one of said electrical outlet sockets of said surge protector.

4. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 1, wherein said electrical connection between said at least one second cord and said surge protector, and said electrical connection between said at least one second cord and said at least one power strip is one of a hardwired connection and a removable plug and receptacle connection.

5. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 1, wherein the cart assembly is mounted on a set of wheels.

6. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 5, wherein the cart assembly includes a handle attached to the cart assembly.

7. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 1 wherein said surge protector is located in a casing of said at least one self-retractable reel.

8. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 7, wherein the casing of said at least one self-retractable reel has an arcuate inner surface portion, and said surge protector is configured in the same arcuate configuration as said inner surface portion.

9. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 8, wherein said surge protector is one of attached to and formed integral with said inner surface portion.

10. A portable surge protected remote power distribution system for delivering electrical power to an area of a venue, comprising:

a moveable cart assembly;

at least one retractable reel including an electrical cord of a predetermined length, said electrical cord adapted to be selectively extended from said reel a distance substantially equal to said predetermined length, said reel mounted on said cart assembly;

said electrical cord having a first end and a second end;

said first end of said electrical cord being electrically connected to a surge protector, said surge protector adapted to be electrically connected to a source of electrical power;

said second end of said electrical cord being electrically connected to a power strip, said power strip including at least one socket structure, said socket structure adapted to electrically connect with at least one electrically powered device.

11. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 10, wherein said surge protector is mounted on said moveable cart assembly.

12. The portable surge protected remote power distribution system of claim 11 wherein said power strip is removably mounted on said moveable cart assembly.
