Computer adapter with power outlet

Abstract

The present invention is directed to an electronic adapter that has a receptacle capable of receiving power cords. In addition to allowing access to a power receptacle from a single power source, the present invention eliminates the need to carry an extra extension cord to allow multiple users to power their accessories, i.e. notebook computers from a single power source.

1 . An electrical adapter with power outlet ( 10 ), comprising:
 an adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 );   a receptacle portion ( 70 ) operably disposed within said adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 );   an adapter portion ( 60 ) operably disposed within said adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 );   a receptacle ( 30 ) disposed within said receptacle portion ( 70 ), said receptacle operably connected to a power source to adapter-receptacle cord ( 50 ); and   an adapter to computer cord ( 40 ).   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said power source to adapter-receptacle cord ( 50 ) is operably connected to the receptacle ( 30 ) to provide power to a device plugged into the receptacle. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said power source to adapter-receptacle cord ( 50 ) is operably connected to the adapter portion ( 60 ) to power a notebook computer. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a USB port is operatively connected to at least one of either a said power source to adapter-receptacle housing cord ( 50 ), said adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 ), or said adapter to computer cord ( 40 ). 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a rechargeable battery is operably disposed within said adapter-receptacle housing  20 , said rechargeable battery can be recharged via a power source through the power source to adapter-receptacle housing cord ( 50 ), and said rechargeable battery can provide power to a device via said receptacle portion ( 70 ). 
     
     
         6 . An electrical adapter with power outlet ( 10 ), comprising:
 an adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 );   a receptacle portion ( 70 ) operably disposed within said adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 );   an adapter portion ( 60 ) operably disposed within said adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 );   a receptacle ( 30 ) disposed within said receptacle portion ( 70 ), said receptacle operably connected to a power source to adapter-receptacle cord ( 50 );   an adapter to computer cord ( 40 );   said power source to adapter-receptacle cord ( 50 ) is operably connected to the receptacle ( 30 ) to provide power to a device plugged into the receptacle;   said power source to adapter-receptacle cord ( 50 ) is operably connected to the adapter portion ( 60 ) to power a notebook computer; and   a USB port is operatively connected to at least one of either a said power source to adapter-receptacle housing cord ( 50 ), said adapter-receptacle housing ( 20 ), or said adapter to computer cord ( 40 ).
