Abstract

An extensible base pad module and an electrical device with the same are disclosed. The electrical device has a base and an extensible base pad module. The base has an opening. The extensible base pad module has a push bar, a flange and a pad. The push bar is able to be levelly moved in the opening, and has a through hole thereon. The flange is disposed in the base, and has an arc-shaped rail of which two ends are respectively close and remote from the opening. One end of the pad is moveably provided in the arc-shaped rail, the other end is extensible in the through hole.

Claims

at least one flange installed in the base and having an arc-shaped rail of which one end thereof is disposed close to the opening and the other end thereof is disposed remote from the opening; and

a pad of which one end thereof protruding the through hole, the other end thereof moveably installed on the arc-shaped rail,

wherein when the other end of the pad is moved along the arc-shaped rail, the end of the pad is retracted or protruded outside the through hole.

2. The electrical device with extensible base pad module according to claim 1, wherein the at least one flange comprises:

a board member vertically installed on the inner surface; and

an external assembling strip detachably installed on the board member, wherein the arc-shaped rail is formed between the assembling strip and the board member.

3. The electrical device with extensible base pad module according to claim 2, wherein the board member and the base are formed integrally or detachably with each other.

4. The electrical device with extensible base pad module according to claim 1, wherein the push bar comprises:

a sheet member; and

a latching member, one end thereof connected to the sheet member, the other end thereof disposed against the inner surface through the opening.

5. The electrical device with extensible base pad module according to claim 4, wherein the outer surface has a concave slot, the opening is disposed at a bottom of the concave slot, and the sheet member is linearly and moveably installed in the concave slot.

6. The electrical device with extensible base pad module according to claim 5, wherein the sheet member has a plurality of protruding members.

7. The electrical device with extensible base pad module according to claim 1, wherein the pad comprises:
