Electrical outlet with covering and light and method of use for the same
View Patent ↗An outlet and nightlight device with a solid base. The base has a front, back, top and two outlets on the front the base. There are two plugs on the back of the base, a light sensor, and a light emitter. The front of the base is attached to a raised section which is attached and in moveable communication with a face plate. In some embodiments the face plate slides across the raised section and in others it can rotate away from the raised section via a hinge on the base plate. The light sensor can trigger to the light emitter to emit light in low light conditions and in some embodiments there is a manual trigger for the light emission. In some embodiments the base has USB port for utilization. In some embodiments the face plate can lock to the base plate. In some embodiments the present invention has ancillary light emitters on the raised plate. In some embodiments of the invention there is a battery back up to supply energy to the light emitter in case of power failure.
1. An improved light emitter with outlets comprising:
a solid base with a front, back, top and bottom;
a light emitter located on the bottom of said base;
a light sensor located on the top of said base;
a manual activation button in electrical communication with said light emitter located on the bottom of said base;
two three-port outlets located on said back of said base;
a raised plate with a face attached to said front of said base;
said raised plate further comprising lock extrusions;
said raised plate further comprising tracks;
said raised plate further comprising two three-port outlets on the face of said raised plate for communicating electronically with a wall outlet;
a face plate;
said face plate further comprising an egress port to allow for cords or plugged in items to exit said face plate;
said face plate further comprising sides with orifices, wherein
said tracks allow for slidable motion between said raised plate and said face plate; and wherein
said face plate can be temporarily locked into place by moving and engaging said orifices over said lock extrusions therein mechanically engaging said orifices and lock extrusions in a locking manner.
2. The outlet and light device of claim 1 further comprising;
said solid base further comprises ports for USB cable insertion;
a battery; wherein said battery powers said light emitter and said ports for USB cable insertion.
