Pivotal electrical receptacle

摘要

A pivotal electrical receptacle allowing pivotal movement of plugs includes an outlet that has opposing ends. The outlet comprises a plurality of electrical sockets. A pair of couplers is configured to couple the outlet to an electrical box. Each of a pair of pivots is pivotally coupled to a respective opposing end of the outlet and a respective coupler. Each of a plurality of biasers is operationally coupled to the respective opposing end of the outlet and the respective coupler. The pivots are positioned such that the outlet is pivotable from a default positioned substantially parallel to a plane defined by the substrate in which the electrical box is mounted. The biasers are configured such that pivoting of the outlet induces a force compelling the outlet to return to the default position.
