The Tumbler Socket is a safety power strip centered on a "revolutionary balance of safety and space efficiency." It is designed to address the common safety hazards and wasted space associated with traditional power strips in home environments. As the world's first "tumbler" power strip, it uniquely integrates three core safety features: anti-tip, anti-spill, and anti-drag. With its minimalist vertical structure, it provides an unprecedented, systematic electrical safety solution for families with children, humid environments, and small living spaces.
The exterior design of the Tumbler Socket is crafted to diminish the "industrial feel" of traditional electronics and amplify its "home decor" attributes.
Mushroom Shape: Its soft, rounded curves and wide, stable arc-shaped base create a friendly and approachable mushroom form that blends naturally into any modern home interior. A selection of Morandi colors meets the diverse aesthetic preferences of different users.
Vertical Structure: The innovative vertical structure consolidates all sockets on the tower's body, allowing cables to droop orderly, and eliminating the need for tangled cables. This prevents cables from sprawling messily in all directions. This layout not only creates a light and tidy visual appearance but also physically minimizes its footprint.
The Tumbler Socket pioneers a "3-in-1" integrated safety system, incorporating multiple innovative functions:
Anti-Tip: Featuring a tumbler structure and a non-slip base, it can withstand a lateral impact of 5kg (lab-tested) without falling, preventing unexpected power outages or fire hazards caused by pets, children, or tugged cords.
Anti-Spill: The elevated vertical socket design ensures that any liquid flows down to the base without contacting live electrical parts. This provides crucial time to handle accidents and is especially suitable for humid environments like rainy seasons or households with young children.
Ergonomic Design: The vertical sockets align with the natural trajectory of hand force, making plugging and unplugging more effortless. The vertical structure saves up to 50% of desktop space and remains neat even when fully occupied, delivering an experience that is effortless, safe, and tidy.
