ABSTRACT:
An electrical plug is disclosed in which the plug body having the electrically conductive pins is pivotally attached to an attachment body such that the plug body and attachment body may pivot with respect to each other about a pivot axis. The attachment body is connected to an electrical wire and the electrical conductors in the wire are connected to each of the conductive pins at the pivot axis so as not to interfere with the pivoting motion between the plug body and the attachment body. Such pivoting movement enables the plug body to be oriented in substantially any fashion with respect to the electric wire. The wire may extend from a side of the plug body, or outwardly from the plug body opposite the electrically conductive pins. Such pivoting movement enables the electrical device to which the wire is connected to be located virtually anywhere with respect to an electrical outlet. The plug body may be oriented to engage the outlet irrespective of the direction in which the electric wire must proceed from the plug.
