First Claim
1. A multiple electrical socket device, comprising:
- a) a bell shaped housing having an arcuate side wall with a domed upper end and a outwardly flared lower end, the arcuate sidewall forming a perimeter around the bell shaped housing;
b) a plurality of protrusions extending away from the sidewall, each of the protrusions having a face oriented in a different radial direction around the perimeter of the bell shaped housing;
c) a plurality of electrical sockets, each socket disposed in a different face of the plurality of protrusions and each socket configured to receive an electrical plug; and
d) the plurality of protrusions positioned on the sidewall between the domed upper end and the outwardly flared lower end to form a depression between the arcuate side wall and each of the plurality of protrusions with the depression extending between each of the protrusions.

Abstract
A multiple socket electrical outlet device includes a bell shaped housing having an arcuate side wall with a domed upper end and an outwardly flared lower end. The arcuate sidewall forms a perimeter around the bell shaped housing. A plurality of protrusions extends away from the sidewall. Each of the protrusions has a face oriented in a different radial direction around the perimeter of the bell shaped housing. An electrical socket is disposed in the face of each of the plurality of protrusions. The plurality of protrusions are positioned on the sidewall between the domed upper end and the outwardly flared lower end to form a depression between the arcuate side wall and each of the plurality of protrusions with the depression extending between each of the protrusions.
