ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH ROTATABLE PRONGS

摘要

An electrical connector that includes a connector for connecting to a power adapter or directly connecting to an electrical device, and an electrical plug for connecting to a main supply. The electrical plug can move between a storage position, a first working position, and a second working position. The electrical plug may have a mechanism that fixes the prongs of the plug in one of these positions unless greater than a threshold amount of force is exerted on the prongs in a particular direction. In the storage position, the electrical plug may be inaccessible to an electrical outlet and electrically disconnected from the terminals of the connector. The first working position, second working position, and storage position may all be substantially perpendicular to each other. The plug may be moved from the second working position to the storage position by passing through the first working position.
