Invention of the Week #6: Expandable Power Strip
This week’s featured invention is the “ Expandable Power Strip”, which was invented by Yekusiel Teitelbaum. Mr. Teitelbaum has an issued US Utility patent on his invention.
Most households contain multiple charging devices for cell phones, handheld gaming systems, cameras, MP3 players, etc. The large plugs are bulky and sometimes prevent adjacent plugs from being used at the same time. Expandable Power Strip enables the user to expand the space between plugs, allowing oversized plugs to be easily plugged into the power strip. Eliminating the hassle of unplugging some items in order to make room for the large plug, Expandable Power Strip is a convenient product for use in areas where many electronics or appliances need to be plugged in, such as home offices, bedrooms or living rooms.

What a great product. Just the other day, I was playing “Musical Chairs” with my power strip to accommodate several large plugs for my kids gaming systems. There are so instances where we find ourselves with an every day problem and someone realizes that the problem is actually a business opportunity. That is exactly how I started my company. The biggest compliment is when people I meet say “I could have done that”. Sometimes you just have to stop and experience things to realize there are countless opportunities and it is up to you to make them happen!

Count me in. I have power-strips hanging from outlets in almost every room of the house. (Yes our electric bill is high.) It would be great to have just the right size each time, and just add a quick socket if I needed it. I agree with Leslie Lopez . . . if only I would think of these type of things first – and know how to create them!!!
