ABSTRACT:
A reorientable electrical expansion outlet is disclosed having a housing with a housing cavity and rotatable electrical female receptacles seated therein. A plug is provided for connection to another outlet for expanding the other outlet. Preferably, each rotatable female electrical receptacle includes a set of electrical conductors situated in electrical isolation from one another, arranged one above the other. In one embodiment, the housing cavity has a set of annular conductive structures formed one above the other to support provide a set of electrically conductive pathways along which slideable contacts rotateably track. Another embodiment places annular conductive structures on the female receptacle.
