SOCKET SYSTEM

摘要

A socket adapter system freely rotates, twists, and turns up to 360° to inhibit undesirable tangling and detachment by an attached cord, due to the latitude of movement provided thereto. Pressure exerted from the attaching external plug actuates the socket adapter system to rotate, as a space is created between internal bearings. A master housing protects the system and engages a mounted socket. A plug housing carries electrical current to the mounted socket with inner and outer conductors that terminate at prongs. Inner channels in the plug housing carry bearings. A brace portion holds the plug housing stationary against the master housing. A rotating socket receives an external plug and rotatably joins with the plug housing and includes outer channels that align with the inner channels of the plug housing for containing the bearings, which reduce friction to enable free rotation.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a master housing configured to at least partially contain said system, said master housing further configured to engage a mounted socket, said master housing comprising at least one housing aperture; a plug housing configured to at least partially conduct an electrical current to said mounted housing, said plug housing comprising a plug end, said plug end comprising at least one prong disposed to at least partially pass through said at least one housing aperture, said at least one prong configured to engage said mounted socket, said plug end further comprising a first inner channel configured to carry at least one first bearing, said plug housing further comprising an inner surface, said inner surface comprising at least one inner conductor, each inner conductor configured to carry said electrical current to a corresponding prong, said plug housing further comprising an outer surface, said outer surface comprising a brace portion disposed to extend from said outer surface to an inner master housing surface, said brace portion configured to at least partially restrict rotation of said plug housing; and a rotating socket configured to rotatably restrict entanglement and detachment of a cord joined to an external plug, said rotating socket disposed to rotatably join with said plug housing for transmitting said electrical current while said rotating socket rotates and said plug housing remains immobile, said rotating socket comprising a rotating socket end, said rotating socket end comprising at least one aperture configured to at least partially receive said external plug, wherein engaging said rotating socket end with pressure from said external plug actuates said rotation, said rotating socket end further comprising a first exterior channel arranged to align with said first inner channel, wherein said at least one first bearing is configured to position between said first exterior channel and said first inner channel, said at least one first bearing further configured to constrain relative motion and reduce friction between said rotating socket and said plug housing for facilitating rotation of said rotating socket.
