ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle providing repositional plug accepting members which receive and lock into place an inserted electrical plug with or without a ground prong while allowing for manual rotation to on and off positions, the receptacle further utilizes prong slot blocking members to obstruct attempted foreign object insertion when improperly initiated without plug insertion. The empowerment or nonempowerment availability is afforded by repositional plug acceptors moveably secured within the chambers of the body allowing for limited positioning, inward and outward movement is directed by spring members adjacent each plug acceptor in each chamber, a completeable circuit is afforded by conductive members positioned within the body extending into the chambers adapted to ride about the periphery of the plug acceptors during and after repositioning and contact members positioned within the plug acceptors extending to the periphery affording communication with the conductive members after relocation thereby offering a completeable electrical circuit to an inserted electrical plug, similarly the ground receiving members are positioned within the plug acceptors there to receive an inserted ground prong and communicate during and after relocation with grounding means to complete the ground circuit, locking is provided by locking members positioned within the plug acceptors adapted to secure the inserted prongs during repositioning, and empowerment. Foreign object obstruction is provided by blocking members adapted to cover the entry slots having access to the contact members when initiated without electrical plug insertion and to springedly bind against the prongs of an inserted electrical plug ready to cover the entry slots in the case of a forced plug removal.
