Most households or office spaces often need more electrical outlets than what is built into the wall. Adding more usually means plugging in bulky power boards or adapters, which stick out, can be unstable, and don't look great. Getting more permanent outlets typically requires hiring an electrician—costly and inconvenient.
The Invention
This new electrical power board offers a smarter solution. It attaches securely to a standard wall outlet, instantly expanding it with multiple extra sockets. Unlike traditional plug-in boards, it doesn’t just hang loosely; it fits flush and locks into place using screws, making it both safer and sleeker.
The Inventive Step
The game-changer here is the recessed back design. The back of the power board has a hollow cavity that wraps neatly around the existing wall outlet. It connects via built-in electrical pins that plug into the current socket, and then uses the existing screw holes to secure the whole unit firmly. This clever configuration means anyone can add more sockets—no electrician needed, no mess.
The Benefits
- Easy to install: Mounts over existing outlets using the same screw holes.
- Secure and tidy: Screws in place so it doesn’t wobble or dangle.
- Looks built-in: Comes with a matching cover for a clean, professional look.
- More function: Adds multiple outlets and includes safety features like overload protection.
Broader Impact
This invention could improve safety and convenience in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. It helps avoid unsafe power strips and reduces the need for professional rewiring. By simplifying how we expand power access, it supports smarter energy management, better aesthetics, and broader access to safe electrical solutions—especially in regions where hiring an electrician is cost-prohibitive.
Is it a good idea?
Yes—it's practical, user-friendly, and fills a real need in a better way than current options.
