ABSTRACT:
A pivotable electrical plug assembly includes a pair of elongated blades, such as rod shaped European style blades. A detent mechanism is formed with electrically conductive resilient members for releasably retaining rear portions of the elongated blades, for example, European rod shaped blades. The plug assembly is pivotally mounted to an appliance housing, such as a consumer electronic appliance or device, with the resilient members being mounted in fixed position relative to the appliance housing. The resilient members are adapted to extend into the appliance housing to engage the blades without requiring any modifications to the standard blade design.
