US Patent 10333284 Floor power distribution system

A power hub includes a base assembly configured to abut a floor surface, a shaft coupled at a lower end to the base assembly, an impact loop coupled to an upper end of the shaft, and an electrical receptacle block housed in the impact loop, wherein an upper portion of the electrical receptacle block is free and is spaced from an upper portion of the impact loop such that in the event the power hub is tipped over, the upper portion of the impact loop absorbs contact with a ground surface to lessen the impact imparted to the electrical receptacle block.
