CHILD MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A nursery station for a child monitoring system, the nursery station comprisinga unit adapted to transmit or receive sounds from a nursery,power-receiver prongs coupled to the unit to conduct power from a wall socket to the unit when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into a wall outlet, andpivot means coupled between the unit and the power-receiver prongs for allowing rotation of the power-receiver prongs relative to the unit about an orientation axis from a longitudinally-oriented position, in which the power-receiver prongs are arranged to support the unit relative to a first wall socket such that an adjacent second wall socket is covered when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the first wall socket, to a laterally-oriented position, in which the power-receiver prongs are arranged to support the unit relative to the first wall socket such that an adjacent second wall socket is uncovered when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the first wall socket, so that a caregiver can block access to the second wall socket when the second wall socket is not needed or allow access to the second wall socket when another device is to be plugged into the second wall socket while maintaining a connection between the power-receiver prongs and the first wall socket when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the second wall socket.

1. A nursery station for a child monitoring system, the nursery station comprising
a unit adapted to transmit or receive sounds from a nursery, power-receiver prongs coupled to the unit to conduct power from a wall socket to the unit when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into a wall outlet, and pivot means coupled between the unit and the power-receiver prongs for allowing rotation of the power-receiver prongs relative to the unit about an orientation axis from a longitudinally-oriented position, in which the power-receiver prongs are arranged to support the unit relative to a first wall socket such that an adjacent second wall socket is covered when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the first wall socket, to a laterally-oriented position, in which the power-receiver prongs are arranged to support the unit relative to the first wall socket such that an adjacent second wall socket is uncovered when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the first wall socket, so that a caregiver can block access to the second wall socket when the second wall socket is not needed or allow access to the second wall socket when another device is to be plugged into the second wall socket while maintaining a connection between the power-receiver prongs and the first wall socket when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the second wall socket.

8. A nursery station for a child monitoring system, the nursery station comprising
a unit adapted to transmit or receive sounds from a nursery, power-receiver prongs coupled to the unit to conduct power from a wall socket to the unit when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into a wall outlet, and a pivot hub coupled to the unit to pivot relative to the unit about an orientation axis and coupled to the power-receiver prongs such that the power-receiver prongs pivot with the pivot hub relative to the unit about the orientation axis, wherein the pivot hub and the power-receiver prongs are movable about the orientation axis from a longitudinally-oriented position, in which the power-receiver prongs are arranged to support the unit relative to a first wall socket such that an adjacent second wall socket is covered when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the first wall socket, and a laterally-oriented position, in which the power-receiver prongs are arranged to support the unit relative to a first wall socket such that an adjacent second wall socket is uncovered when the power-receiver prongs are plugged into the first wall socket.
