Abstract

A relocatable power tap with a charging station for charging one or more electrical devices. The power tap is preferably selectively moveable through an aperture of a work surface, between depressed and upright positions. The power tap may include a top portion with a wireless charging emitter and a cover, and a lower portion for hard-wiring charging of electrical devices. The cover may fit flush and liquid-tight with the work surface when the power tap is in the depressed position. The charging station is located above the work surface in a spill-proof position, when the power tap is in the upright position.
