ABSTRACT:
An electrical outlet and plug receivable therein are disclosed. The outlet includes at least one receptacle on its face and at least one receptacle on a side surface thereof. Each receptacle comprises negative, positive and ground openings that are positioned in a straight line. Due to a difference in size between the negative and positive openings, only one orientation of the plug within the receptacle is possible. The outlet may optionally include connectors for the direct connection of electrical cords without the need for plugs and a circuit breaker to prevent overload. The outlet and in-line receptacle configuration allow for additional connections to be made to a single outlet and provide space-saving advantages.
