An AC adapter (10, 74) having a dual-bodied plug (16, 78) that can be rotated by 90 degrees relative to the adapter case (22, 82) so that the plug (16, 78) can be stored in the case (22, 82) when the adapter (10, 74) is not used and drawn out of the case (22, 82) when the adapter (22, 82) is in use. A blade distance adjusting unit (30, 62 or 90, 100) adjusts the distance between the blades (12a, 12b) of the plug (16, 78). When the plug (16, 78) is drawn out of the case (22, 82), the distance between the blades (12a, 12b) is increased up to the predetermined value (L2, L4). When the plug (16, 78) is stored in the case (22, 82), the distance between the blades (12a, 12b) is reduced. The AC adapter (10, 74) can use a thinner case (22, 82) than conventional AC adapters of which plugs are monolithically structured. <IMAGE> |
