14. An electric supply pop up apparatus with a safety system used as an electric vehicle charging station comprising:
-
a permanently installed weatherproof containment unit wherein said unit has a bottom; at least one side wall; an open top; a crown; and a moveable tower wherein said moveable tower comprises; at least one side wall; a cover; and a safety system, said safety system comprising; at least one safety ring; an electric vehicle charging components;
wheresaid tower is slideably moveable within said containment units so that said tower can be raised or lowered within said containment unit such that when said tower is lowered and in a down position said tower is fully secured and enclosed within said containment unit or said tower can be raised to an up position so that said electric vehicle charging components are accessible to a user;
wherebypower is available at said electric vehicle charging components when said tower is in said up position; a storage means to secure and contain said electric vehicle charging components so that said charging components are available to said user when said pop up apparatus is in said up position but are unavailable and secured from said user when said pop up apparatus is in said down position; a user access that will qualify said user and thereafter will allow access to said electric vehicle charging components and electric power from said pop up apparatus by activating said tower and raising said tower to said up position;
wherebywhen said tower is activated by said user a cable for charging said electric vehicle is released from an internal storage device; when said user is finished using said station said cable is then automatically retracted and stored within said containment unit;
whereaftersaid tower is lowered to said down position. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
