ABSTRACT:
In the attachment of an appliance's electrical supply cord to an ordinary electrical outlet on a wall, it is common to have a plug encasing the cord such that the cord adjacent to the plug will be parallel to the wall when the plug is inserted into the outlet, permitting furniture or other objects in front of the outlet to be set closer to the wall. In this invention, the protrusion of the plug from the outlet is reduced to the width of the electrical cord itself. The invention will be of great value in allowing the cord to lie substantially flat against a wall even at its juncture with the plug and in allowing furniture or other objects to be set approximately a mere width of the cord away from the electrical outlet surface. A pivoting tab whose end can be swung away from the main body of the plug to facilitate grasping for disengaging the plug from the outlet is provided.
