PLUG ADAPTOR WITH TWO-AXIS ROTATION MECHANISM

Abstract

The present invention relates to a plug adapter that allows free rotation of the plug when plugged into a socket, to facilitate plug organization and use of sockets located in narrow or difficult-to-reach locations. The adapter comprises: a body that rotates about a horizontal axis (1) with a hole for plugging (2); an elongated hinge (3) connecting the horizontal body with a body that rotates about a vertical axis (4); a vertical body (4) that rotates about a non-rotating body (5); and a plug head (7) for plugging the adapter into a socket. A flexible conductor (8) provides an electrical path between the plug and the plug head. A space gap (6) in the non-rotating body (5) allows rotation of the vertical body, with a pair of small blocks (9) to limit the rotation to prevent damage to the flexible conductor. A bar (10) inside the non-rotating body ensures that the conductors do not touch.This invention addresses the problem of accessibility and organization of plugs on power outlets, providing additional flexibility and safety for users in managing electrical equipment.

Description

PLUG ADAPTOR WITH FLEXIBILITY OF ROTATION ABILITY Invention Engineering Field The present invention relates to a plug adapter with the flexibility of rotation capabilities, especially the adapter a plug that allows the plug to rotate freely when plugged into a wall socket for easy organization plug into the socket and make it easier to use sockets located in locations that tend to be narrow and hard to reach. Background of the Invention In the daily use of electrical equipment, often encountered difficulties in accessing the power outlet located in a hard-to-reach location or space that narrow and does not suit the needs of use, as well as The orientation of the plug in the socket is sometimes not correct thus preventing the use of adjacent power outlets when the plug is plugged in. This causes shifting equipment to reach the desired position. This challenge not only causes inconvenience, but also potential safety risks in use electrical equipment. Technological inventions related to improvement flexibility in inserting the plug into the socket has been previously disclosed in patent number JP6440216B2 entitled: Outlet Module. The invention consists of several sockets arranged vertically into one device. Each of these sockets can be pulled out to be extended. However, the invention still has the disadvantage is the risk of producing a cable breakdown that less neat if not arranged well and inability utilize the infrastructure in the form of existing power outlets owned by the user. Other inventions relating to sockets and The plug has been previously disclosed in patent number WO2011127630A1 and title: Explosion proof electrical connecting device, plug thereof and socket thereof. Invention This is in the form of a plug and socket configuration. has the ability to minimize the risk of explosion due to high voltage electricity. The invention also equipped with a cover on the socket for protect the socket from water and dust. However, 1invention still has shortcomings in the form of inability provides flexibility in the rotational adjustment of the plug. Other inventions relating to rotational capabilities on the power cable has been previously disclosed in a patent with the number TWM417693U and the title: Rotatable connector. The invention is in the form of a connector mechanism on a cable that can rotate to reduce mechanical stress on the cable due to twisting during use. With the presence of rotational ability of the cable, the cable can be protected from mechanical stress and is expected to be able to withstand and be used for a longer duration of time. However, the invention still has shortcomings in the form of inability to helps organize plugs in the sockets and does not help address issues related to plug usage on sockets that are difficult to reach or have an incorrect orientation which is not correct so that it blocks the socket side by side for use. Another invention related to connectors on previous cables has been disclosed in patent number US10283908B1 with the title: Connector with releasable latch member. The invention deals with a locking mechanism latching between the plug and the socket that allows The plug fits into the socket tightly, but easily released through the delivered latching mechanism. However, The invention still has shortcomings in the form of inability to provide flexibility in rotation settings from the plug. Invention with number US20130072046A1 with the title: Dual latch electrical plug connector for electrical receptacle, Also has submitted 1 invention related to the double- latch that reduces the risk of accidental plug removal intentionally from the wall socket. However, the invention is still has a deficiency where the invention is not facilitates plug rotation which increases flexibility and accessibility. To overcome the problems and shortcomings of prior art that has been presented, is required development of a plug adapter that allows free rotation plug into the socket. Plug adapter with flexibility rotation capability is expected to provide flexibility to the user to adjust the plug orientation accordingly with the need without having to rotate the entire device or replace the previously used plug. Brief Description of the Invention The main objective of this invention is to overcome pre-existing problems, especially difficulties in accessing the power outlet located in a location that hard to reach or narrow space is not suitable for usage requirements, as well as the orientation of the plug in the socket sometimes less precise so that it hinders use adjacent sockets when the plug is plugged in. This causes a shift in equipment to achieve desired position. This challenge is not only causing discomfort, but also potential risks safety in using electrical equipment. The present invention provides a plug adapter with flexibility of rotational ability that has special characteristics in the form of the ability to provide rotational flexibility to a plug that is plugged into a socket without replacing it existing and commonly used plugs. Where previously, users of electrical devices are limited by rotational constraints from the plug that is plugged into the socket, the user can attach the plug to the plug adapter with flexibility rotation capability and before plugging into the socket so that the plug of the electrical equipment you want to use can rotate and is no longer limited by constraints the rotation commonly experienced when inserting a plug directly into the socket. With this invention, it is possible accessing plugs in hard-to-reach locations and located in the wrong orientation and obstructing use of adjacent power outlets.
